how long does the pressure last after you pump it? and can you pump it on that stand or is it too unstable?

I can take a shower by pumping the recommended number, getting wet, soaping, rinsing and by pumping again.... I can rinse/relax with the rest of the water. Prolly 5-6mins of warm water. I have never ran out of warm water while I needed it.The stand is not unstable at all. When I have a solid base such as wood or concrete it holds up fine to pumping. If I am on soft ground, I take it off the base.

works for about 3 or 4 minutes have never tried pumping it up on the stand it seems to unstable but it's a great product would recommend buying

I went about a minute and a half before pumping it, and it was very stable. That said, I retro fitted the hose it came with with a kitchen sink style spray nozzle which worked awesome. (You don't have to turn it off and on with the valve near the tank that way)

If you're referring to water pressure while showering, it's plenty long enough to get wet for lathering, then re-pump and rinse. Unlike some reviewers, I think the tri-pod stand is sufficient for what it was designed for, that is stability while heating the water tank and portability. However, I would definitely remove the tank from the stand before pumping it.

The pressure does last a while, to go through the entire tank you may need to pump it again about 1/2 way through for a strong steady shower. you can pump it on the stand, but I recommend taking it off the stand once you heated the water. My family and I are glad that we purchased this portable shower. I hope this helps.

Heat water to your liking on the stand outdoor.Take the tank(only)to your shower area.Pump it(just like you would a Bug or Weed tank)to soap and wash.Pump it again to rise.You're done!

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

John, no they ( in my experience, this is the third one that I have Got ) dont, I love this set up, just if you get one do not get the air pump one, very low gpm. Maybe 1 gallon per 1 to 2 hours.

I haven't had that happen, I think the most important issue is whether it allows pressure release while it does that. If it does, there may be a problem.When time is finished it is supposed to naturally let pressure out gradually without having to actually open the valve but i've never seen it bouncing around.

I no longer have this pump because it broke, but when I got my new fork I aired it up to 60 with this pump but I can't remember if it went higher than that or not, but if you need to be precise with the pressure, then you don't want this pump because the gauge does not move smoothly. It would stick, and with each pump it would jump up about 5lbs or so. I would guess the gauge is accurate to about 1 or 2 lbs give or take.

When the stand is opened fully and stable it angles backwards so the pedals hit the upright tube. If you open it so the upright is more vertical the pedals swing free. But then it has a tendency to fall forward (the designer's an idiot). Put some weight on the two legs that jut out behind the stand 9I use some rocks) and you're fine. Not elegant but then it's fine. Still for a third the price of good stands what do you expect?

I have used in many times and I never had a issue with it being unstable, make sure that you take pump out when heating, and you don't fill it with water, you need room for the pump and air space, I take it off the burner to pump and use the hot water. Your hose will fit if it has the proper adapter

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

Sorry it took so long to respond. This stand is very flimsy and requires extensive time to position it just right so it does not tilt over an fall sideways. I finally propped it against a wall and used a rubber mat to keep it from slipping. But once you get it to stand still, you really shouldn't move it otherwise you'll spend alot of time resetting it so it doesn't fall again. It works now and I saved alot of money since other stands were 2-3 times more but still on the fence on whether this was worth it given the extra time I had to put in to make it work.

I have mine right after my pump, I used mine to take some of the vibration out of my line.not so sure if I like it.

I also wanted to add that if you plan to blow it up without a pump it can be a pain. I kept it blown up, but if you don't plan to then I would get a cheap pump so it's easier to deflate/inflate.Also, the temp reading is not accurate so I wouldn't go by that which again to me is not a big deal.

Does your pressure only stall with the surface cleaner or does it also stall out with a regular gun? Either way it sounds to me that you might have an issue with the unloader valve on pump itself.

It's a bit wobbly now with use - but I use it all the time, so can't complain - and it also depends on how much pressure you are exerting - however wish it was a bit more sturdy and stable. Also my arms kind of hang from the stand, so my wrists were paining sometime back, and I had to put a cushion under my elbow to support my arm. Wish the stand could be set at an incline - I have seen those kind of stands, but don't know where you would find them. Hope this helps.

I usually have to pump it up before i use it. It seems to loose air after use.

As I remember it, some of the reviews said if they filled it too full, it wouldn't work. You needs some air to compress to make the pump work. We fill ours about half-2/3 full and have had no problem. (That way it also won't get old on us.) Also, we don't infuse our oil, so there aren't any herbs to get stuck in the way. It isn't as forceful as a spray can of cooking oil, but it does good enough for us. I just keep pumping until I can't depress it any more, probably 7 or 8 times. My daughter likes to twist as she pumps. I don't know what else to suggest.

I returned mine because unfortunately, the kitty I bought it for passed away. But I did have it assembled and running. I DO remember in the directions that it said you should take the pump apart to clean it periodically so the unit will last longer. There isn't much to the pump though, it's probably only about 2" square, so shouldn't be a big deal. It shows you how to do it in the flyer I think.

Yes. it will take a minute or two to pump up from minimum pressure, but it should be no problem.
