Launching in July 2026! Back Tankogo on Kickstarter to secure early bird pricing before retail. By supporting the campaign, you’re helping us launch a powerful portable hot shower built for real outdoor use.
Tankogo
Tankogo Lite is a portable camping shower designed for camping, road trips, beach days, pet washing, gear cleaning, and everyday outdoor rinsing. With a built in 15L (4 gallon) water tank and a rechargeable pump system, Tankogo Lite delivers convenient pressurized water anywhere you need it without propane, open flames, or complicated setup.
Unlike traditional camping showers that rely on hanging bags or gravity flow, Tankogo Lite uses a built in rechargeable lithium battery to power a diaphragm pump that delivers consistent water pressure through the shower head. Simply fill the tank with clean water, turn the unit on, and start spraying. The pump automatically activates when the shower head valve is opened and stops when the valve is closed for efficient water use.
Once the pump battery is charged, Tankogo Lite operates completely cordless, allowing you to rinse, wash, or shower anywhere without needing to stay plugged into a power source. This makes it easy to move the unit around your campsite, beach setup, vehicle, or backyard without worrying about cables or outlets.
The large 15L tank provides up to 12 minutes of continuous spraying at full flow, making it ideal for rinsing sand off your feet after the beach, washing muddy dogs after hikes, cleaning bikes and camping gear, or setting up a simple outdoor shower at your campsite.
Tankogo Lite is powered by a built in rechargeable 12V lithium battery that charges via USB C. A single charge can power the pump to spray up to 18 full tanks of water (270 L / 72 gallons). The system also includes an automatic power saving mode that shuts the unit off after several minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Designed for real outdoor use, Tankogo Lite features a retractable spiral hose that extends up to 9.1 ft (3 m), a shower head with an independent shut off valve, and a versatile mounting system that can attach to smooth surfaces such as vehicle windows or hang from trees, poles, or shower tents.
An integrated LED light inside the tank helps you see the water level in low light conditions, while the wide angled inlet makes refilling quick and easy. The included collapsible 8L refill pouch allows you to collect water from rivers, lakes, or faucets that are not easily accessible.
Whether you need a portable shower for camping, a dog washing station after outdoor adventures, or a convenient rinse system for sandy gear and equipment, Tankogo Lite provides a simple, cordless outdoor water solution built for real adventures.

Make sure it is not easy to tip over, especially around children or pets.
For convenience, Tankogo can also remain inside a vehicle or trunk during use — simply take the shower head outside to rinse.
3. Fill the Tank
Open the top lid and fill the built-in 15L tank with clean water.
- Use clean water from campgrounds, beaches, or public facilities whenever possible
- You may also use reasonably clean water from rivers or lakes if needed
- For best performance, fill at least half the tank before heating
The included 8L refill bag makes topping up easier without moving the unit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Does Tankogo Lite need to be plugged in to work?
No, Tankogo Lite is powered by the built-in rechargeable battery. Simply charge the unit by USB-C before use.
2. How long does the battery last?
A fully charged battery can power spraying up to 18 tanks (72 gal / 270 L)
3. Can I use seawater, muddy water, or dirty water?
No. Do not use seawater, muddy water, or heavily dirty water.
Salt, debris, and dirt can damage the heating elements and pump. Using these water types will void the warranty.
Tankogo is designed for:
- Clean water from faucets at campgrounds, beaches, or public facilities
- Reasonably clean freshwater from rivers or lakes when necessary
4. Can I add soap, shampoo, or fragrances to the tank?
No. Do not add soap, fragrance, or any chemicals to the water tank.
Doing so can damage internal components and will void the warranty.
If you need soap, apply it externally and rinse using clean water only.
5. Can I submerge Tankogo in water to fill it?
No. Do not immerse Tankogo partially or fully in water.
To fill the tank:
- Use a faucet directly, or
- Use a hose to guide water into the tank, or
- Use the included 10L collapsible refill bag to carry water from a river, lake, or hard-to-reach source
6. What temperatures can Tankogo operate in?
Tankogo is designed to operate between 2°C and 65°C (35°F–149°F).
Avoid:
- Operating outside this temperature range
- Leaving Tankogo in direct hot sun for extended periods
Prolonged exposure above 49°C / 120°F may damage the lithium battery and could pose a safety risk.
7. Can I pour boiling water into the tank?
No. Warm water is fine, but never pour boiling water into the tank.
8. Can Tankogo freeze?
No. Do not leave Tankogo frozen.
Freezing temperatures can damage the pump, hose, and internal components.
9. What is the pressure release valve and why is it important?
Tankogo includes a pressure release valve built into the tank cap.
This valve regulates internal pressure as water is pumped out, preventing the tank from cracking or collapsing.
Important care notes:
- Do not cover the cap
- Do not block the valve
- Clean the cap and valve if dirt or debris builds up
Blocking the valve can cause damage to the tank.
10. Why is the water pump not working?
There are a few common reasons the pump may not be running:
- Battery is not charged: Make sure Tankogo has been charged via USB-C before use.
- System is not powered on: Ensure Tankogo is turned on by pressing and holding the power button for 2 seconds.
- Shower head valve is closed:
Press the black side of the button on the shower head to release water.
Press the red side to stop the flow.

Designed by Sprayers Plus
For 38 years, Sprayers Plus has been manufacturing heavy-duty, battery-powered spray equipment for industrial and agricultural use. Their sprayers have to survive chemicals, fertilizers, chlorinated water, high pressures, and long hours in harsh conditions. The pumps, seals, pressure sensors, and battery systems inside Tankogo are built on that same engineering.
A portable hot shower has to survive salt water, sunscreen, mud, sand, and daily outdoor abuse. Turns out, we already knew how to build for that.
Tankogo is the first product Sprayers Plus has designed specifically for outdoor consumers. But the engineering behind it comes from people who have been building professional-grade battery-powered spray equipment for decades.
Thank You
From our team at Sprayers Plus, thank you for believing in innovation that makes everyday life cleaner, easier, and more connected. With your support, Tankogo is ready to change the way people shower on the go—one rinse at a time.
