With temperatures expected to soar this weekend, we are giving away a bottle shower – a rose attachment that twists into place on all narrow neck plastic bottles. When the bottle is upturned, the device delivers a constant flow of water without any need for squeezing. A two-litre bottle holds enough water for a shower lasting almost two-and-a-half minutes and water left in a plastic bottle in the sun can become surprisingly hot.
As well as a camp shower, we think it would be great for rinsing hands and feet on the beach or washing dog paws after a muddy walk.
If you have to buy a plastic bottle of water, the best thing to do with it is re-use it.

Why it’s important to reduce, reuse and recycle
If you include power plant cooling water, it takes seven litres of water simply to manufacture a one-litre bottle. To that environmental cost you can add the 162g of oil required to make the plastic, all the associated CO2 emissions and the millions of tons of land fill or ocean waste to which the bottled water industry contributes.

Coolbot! This is no ordinary throw away plastic bottle … attach the shower head and this is a reusable planet friendly coolbot shower bottle. What a great idea. Save water, save energy, reuse that plastic bottle, and stay cool. Bottle up everyone!

An amazing invention! I’d use it to cool off after the Prudential Ride London100 mile race in August, it would be more rewarding than a medal!

I was watching lawn-mower racing on a dry, dusty field; everyone got a good brown dusting. Then came award giving in the marquee, and a surprise heavy shower. Those with nouse got their faces under where the rain was bucketing off the marquee.
With the bottle shower I wouldn’t need to trust a passing cloud!

way back in 2015 two of us cycled from England to Gibralter with full camping gear. (see f/b The Curious Cycists) We had a shower every day with my home made shower bottle, as in our photo’s. We had to keep squeezing my bottle to keep a flow. It did make one ltr of water go further though.. And so i’d love to try your product on my future camping expedition’s..
