If it only uses your household pressure then you will not get all the water out of the unit at pressure. 1.5 gallons will not be enough for that spray head. For smaller misting type heads you can make due with 1.5 gallons.

making one and tailoring it to your needs is probably better than that thing. I have a 5 gallon tank with another 5 gallon jug just in case, if I really need to rinse a whole bunch of stuff off. Its usually enough for me and a few other guys as well. Don't know for sure how this thing works sounds like it pressurizes from home...what if it leaks??? no pressure...what if you needed or wanted to add more water to it in the field??? Washdown pump and tank is the way to go.

One drawback with that thing is that you cannot refill it "out in the field" without access to pressurized water. Maybe it has a manual pump?
Anyhow, a large garden bug sprayer that is air pressurized (with a manual pump on top) works well too. Get a metal one and you can set it next to a fire or on top of a stove for a hot shower. Of course the top needs to be off before you can heat a metal bug sprayer on a stove top - or BOOM... The things you learn boondocking it... Chris |

I've been using this one fora little over a year on both my float tube as well as the yak and with 3 & 1/2 gallons its more than enough for the equipment as well!

That nomad is definitely the better of the two units, simply because it can be refilled anywhere. Dont know about washing your car with it but looks like a good unit for light duty stuff.

I picked up a spray box and could not be happier. Yes a little on the expensive side but a very well made product.
