Portable showers are no longer just for hiking trails and campsites. Whether you need a compact portable shower for camping, a surfing shower rinse, or an outdoor shower for pets, Beach Soul has two models that perform brilliantly: the Original 8L Portable Shower and the Beach Shower Pro 10L Food Grade Portable Shower.
Here are 10 real-world ways to use your Beach Soul shower, with tips for choosing between the 8L vs 10L:
1. Camping Portable Shower in the Wilderness
When you're far from facilities, an outdoor portable shower lets you rinse off after hiking or setting up camp. Use the 8L version for light, solo camping and quick showers; choose the 10L when camping with family or needing multiple rinses.
2. Portable Shower for Surfing & Beach Days
After a surf session, salt and sand can irritate skin and damage gear. A surfing shower lets you wash your wetsuit, surfboard, and body before heading home. Beach Soul’s 8L is perfect for quick surf showers. The 10L gives longer flow time and more water for group surf sessions.
3. Outdoor Shower for Pets & Dogs
A portable shower for dogs and pets is a must after beach runs or muddy hikes. The 8L model is easy to carry in the car, while the 10L Food Grade option ensures more water and a safe rinse (especially for paws, fur, and gear).
4. Portable Shower for Off-Grid Lifestyle & Vanlife
For vanlifers, bush cabins, or tiny homes, you need a reliable portable shower not tied to mains power. The Beach Shower Pro 10L is Food Grade rated, so you can wash dishes or water produce, plus use for bathing. The 8L is great for short trips and minimal load.
5. Travel, Festivals & Road Trips
Staying clean on the go is easier with a camping shower in your pack. Use the 8L outdoors portable shower format for quick refreshes at festivals or roadside stops. For longer treks or shared trips, 10L gives more endurance.
6. Gear Cleaning: Outdoor & Water Sports Equipment
Rinse off sandy fins, wet boots, or muddy gear. An outdoor shower or pressurised portable camping shower helps maintain your equipment. Use the 10L for more water and for larger gear, and the 8L works great for lighter items.
7. Rinsing Kids After Beach or Park Play
Sand everywhere? A portable shower makes cleanup before getting home much easier. The 8L handles small rinses, and the 10L gives time to wash hair, muddy hands, etc.
8. Garden, Produce, & Home-Backyard Use
An outdoor shower serves double duty: washing garden tools, produce, pets, or even cooling plants. The 10L Food Grade option is perfect when water touches food or tools, and the 8L is handy for quick tasks.
9. Shower Tent + Privacy Use
Pair your Beach Soul portable shower with a shower tent for privacy: ideal when camping, surfing campsites, or in remote locations. The 8L is lighter to haul into tent setups, and the 10L gives more water per fill.
10. Emergency Preparedness & Power-Outage Use
Loss of mains water or during bushfire/flood emergencies? A portable shower for camping or outdoors is invaluable. The 10L model provides larger water reserve, and the 8L is easier to use in tight spots or limited carry situations.
