Rinse Kit + adventure bundle

RinseKit + (adventure bundle) was $179 with code for $20 off on 08/01/19 shipped from CA, to Maine in under 6 days FED EX.

took it out of the box, with the commercial printed box inside of it..
included in the box was:
*box with reservoir, hose, and nozzle ready to go with 2 screw off plastic caps on *heater, and booster pump holes
*sink adapter (brass)
*garden hose adapter (plastic) both adapters link into the nozzles quick adapter
*heater rod with thread adapter, and wrench for both sizes
*boost pump with integrated gauge (65PSI max)
*silicone flat collapsible refill funnel for refilling unit in trail/where no running water is available..
*super soft quick drying towel/seat cover (its like a chamois cloth)

everything was well packaged, and even in their boxes they fit into the rinsekit + case.

Setup"
Instructions were kinda vague, but I understood the principle of the device so intuitive for me, but would have been nice of them to specify which port for the heater rod, and which is for the booster pump.. I put the booster pump on the left side, and the heater rod in the right port (more centered on the unit)

within 5 minutes I was screwing the heater rod, and the booster pump into the base.. came with a wrench of the heater rod, and thread adapter.. the hose length is such that at 6'3" I can leave the base on the ground, and hold the nozzle over my head. hose is probably 1/2" OD cloth covered hose.. heater rod cord is around 8ft (will measure accurately later).. and the booster pump handle sits proud of the mount surface about 3 inches, and pumping it is super easy (not hard to push down at all)..

1st use:
I hooked up the provided brass nozzle to my kitchen sink, no issues and filled with warm water.. took about 2 minutes to fill on town water 60PSI on 1/2" PEX.. I made the mistake of not tightening the booster pump all the way,, and some water came out the threads.. I turned off the sink spigot, and turned the hose line shutoff valve.. I tightened the pump down (has a top o-ring), and turned the valve, and water faucet back on, and ran for another 20 seconds.. turned the fill valve off first, then the faucet as er instructions, to keep pressure in the unit. I removes the quick connect from the sink adapter and moved the unit outside to test it.. I gave the booster pump a few pumps, attached the sprayer nozzle and was surprised at the pressure it had.. easily on par with my garden hose, albeit a bit less flow (GPM) due to the smaller hose diameter.. the nozzle does feel a bit cheap (and it leaks a few drips, and I may replace it later with a nicer metal orbital nozzle) (i believe the quick connect is a standard garden hose plastic type).. the unit I tried on all spray patterns on the nozzle... mist, shower, jet, center, and angled. ( I believe these are the settings on it, at work now).. the center seems to be the best all around pattern for cleaning/rinsing/showering, with shower being second, but loses pressure, and uses water faster...

I drained it dry through the hose, and packed everything into the hard case.. I had a prior engagement to go to.. will do more testing on it tonight.. specifically the heater rod on my 12v outlet in the Tacoma...

a long term review is starting on this..

 

the heater rod test yesterday night went ok... 63* tap water in, ran heater off cigarette lighter for 40 minutes and got 80* water out of the system.. not sure if this is because I left left the truck in accesory mode instead of running the engine or not.. will have to do further tests. but the heat of the water was sufficient to take a quick shower in if you remmeber to plug the box in an hour or so before you get to camp (driving).. further tests will have to be done.... I'm not overly impressed with the heaters performance, but not let down either...

 

Sorry the discount was a limited time I guess

"aug20" for 20% off .. this was the code I used, and at the time the rinsekit was discounted down to $224

I'm sure if someone from here approached them they would offer a TW code.. I'm not a mod so I wont go that route..

 

Digging this up to thank you for the write-up, I'm looking at getting one of these myself to have a way to wash hands on the road without using public facilities and to rinse dishes when camping.

If you still are using it, how is it a year later? I also thought the sprayer looked kinda cheap - any luck changing it out?

Thanks!
