Portable shower?

So they're typically marked as useful for camping but equally I see it as this:
I have two mixer showers
Very rarely, the combi boiler will conk out. The alternative to shower then, is to use a portable shower where you boil some kettles and add cold water into a bucket
I'm not then sure what's decent to buy, for such an occasion? I know the very very cheapest solution is a bucket and a jug but it's nice to have an actual shower

I have used one of those portable camping showers. You fill up the container (usually a black bladder type thing), leave it out in the sun to heat up, then use. Don't expect an invigorating shower with masses of hot water. More like a luke warm dribble that barely rinses any soap suds off.If you want a back-up shower system at home, fit a proper electric shower. I'd recommend the Triton T80 Thermostatic - Not the cheapest, but well worth it for the thermostatic control.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.2 -

They're useful for their very niche uses ie: for camping, and as an emergency backup0
