Review/Giveaway of the Ecocamel shower head
Review/Giveaway of the Ecocamel shower head
Being conservative with our water usage is key to our RV lifestyle. We don’t ever go to RV parks, preferring to boondock in the middle of nowhere, or stay in forest service campgrounds. We have it down to a science how long we can stay out, and how much water we go through. Showering takes more water than anything else, and obviously we aren’t giving that up. So finding a shower head that is low flow, and still has good pressure is key. The shower heads that come with RV’s are horrible. No pressure, and they use quite a bit of water. We switched out of the stock shower head a long time ago.
Recently I saw an ad for the Ecocamel shower head that made some pretty fabulous claims. Good pressure, low water use, it all sounded good to me. Ecocamel was kind enough to send me a couple of shower heads to review, and give my opinion on.
The design and appearance of the Ecocamel is very appealing, but how do they perform in the great shower test? I started out by testing water usage. I did this with the very unscientific method of a timer, and a measuring cup. I first measured water usage with our current shower head, the oxygenics. I then measured both of the share heads that Ecocamel sent me, the Jetstorm, and the Orbit. They were all equal in the amount of water they used. Then we showered with each of the shower heads for several days, so we could get a good opinion. The shower head creates pressure with air core technology. Basically what happens is air is sucked in through the holes on the handle and forced out with the water stream. This creates water pressure to rinse shampoo out of your hair, with out using all your water.
And they work great. We both liked the larger size of the shower head itself, and the pressure was very nice. These shower heads will work in your home too, they are not made specifically for RV’s. If you are concerned about your water usage, especially in the shower, these are fantastic. The Ecocamel would be perfect for the areas of the country that are experiencing drought.
Ecocamel sent me enough shower heads to test, and I have an extra to give away. The giveaway is for one Orbit shower head, and is open to US residents only, since I am the one shipping the prize to the winner.

Yes I want to save water!! Not only because of the monthly bill but because of our ecosystem!!
It is cool looking, kind of like a Dyson fan style! That would be tough not being hooked up to water, so I guess you really do have to watch water use.
I have been wanting a new shower head for quite some time and your fabulous review piqued my interest. Saving water is ALWAYS a good thing!
This is great news for us with RV and low pressure in our shower at home. We will most likely buy of one these after your tired and true method testimonial.
Sounds like a great shower head. I’ll have to look into it.
Oh, we need that here in CA! We have a low-flow showerhead but it sucks. No pressure, so we’re probably still wasting water since it takes so long to get my hair rinsed out.
Sounds like a great shower head. Saving water is important, especially lately! Thanks for sharing the review!
We had drought the past three, four years until this year, have been using water conservatively. One of the things we do at home is that, we dump kitchen water into a large bucket, then my husband take it to water plants and flower beds. We put out “do not disturb” sign on the door handle when we stay in a hotel room, so to help save water on the daily changing towels and sheets service.
Those are great solutions.
Aint technology grand? I’m so thrilled to hear that someone has invented a product that serves such a good use and works well too.
We plan on doing lots of sail boondocking ourselves (otherwise known as anchoring out). We have lots of ideas about harvesting rain water and plan to use a sun shower (dark bag that heats water in the sun) for showers on deck.
The boat’s head is really too small to shower comfortably and we don’t want to have active water below if we can avoid it.
Enjoy your new shower head. And it looks like you have a lot of excited contest entrants.
That’s so cool!
Water, a precious commodity! Worth finding any way possible to conserve and save water – this shower head looks perfect! Thanks for the review, as well…helpful! Travel On! *smile*

Excellent review Mary! We are interested in this shower head, not just for the RV, but for the cottage as well. We pull our water out of the lake and use a pump system. Great to know that this shower head is powerful enough to rinse the shampoo out!!
Very cool! In the past we’ve tried different low flow shower heads but were never happy with the amount of pressure we got from them. It sounds like you’ve found the right thing there!
Very pretty design! I’m impressed how the shower head creates water pressure, way cool.
