Found a drill pump for $10 at Home Depot.
851 Liters / 225 Gallons Per Hour works out to 14.2Liters / 3.75 Gallons Per Minute.
1200 RPM drill, standard hose connections.

Has anyone used this for an outdoor shower application?


Standard house rates are 2.2GPM @ 60PSI. Pre 1992 rates are 4 to 8GPM

185 Liter Tote box from Wal-Mart for water container $15, or those water cooler containers are $5 to $10
50' Hose $10
On/Off Flow Control Switch $5

Outdoor shower cost $40

That's from the American site and I can't find any listed on the Canadian one, but that's not to say they don't have something similar. I do know that Canadian Tire carries a drill-pump but I can't remember what the GPH is.

Edit2: Talk about timing, that very kit is on sale for 1/2 off if you buy some gas at CT.

$10 Home Depot Mckenzie is where I bought mine, want to know the PSI on it but non is listed.

My GF would hold it lol

CT one is better because you get the hoses to go with it.
