Did a test with this on mist setting. Lasted 19 minutes and 20 seconds from full to empty. Noticed that it started to bog out with .5 gallons left in the tank. It would come out, but stuttering.

They could reduce the sound by adding some foam, which would add minimal weight. Times being off could leave someone soaped up needing to rinse off with cold water. If I were them, I would also give an option for an external water bladder which could be larger than 3.5 gallons if they are short on their time.

I don't think they're talking about the amount of water... continuous... I think they are talking about battery life, when talking about numbers. So, I think if you refilled it, you could get two solid showers at 3.5 minutes each... continuous spray! But, yes... you'd have to refill it after the first shower.

The system is pressurized and the second you unscrewed the cap in the middle of the test to see how much water was left it "ran out of water". Then you started it back up with the top unscrewed and we could see/hear the pump fighting to deliver water but with no pressure. Looks like user error from my point of view.

I just picked one up for $110 at Costco. Filled it up all the way and then put the nozzle on shower and used the part on the handle that keeps it open instead of having to hold the handle itself open. Doing this it was still running at 8 minutes but was sputtering here and there and it still had 1/4 tank of water but the pressure was horrible. Started out ok but it cycles on and off and doesn’t spray a steady stream. Pump starts pulsating after 3-4 minutes. The biggest problem with this kit in my opinion is there is no way to completely drain this. That makes me worry that the water will start turning slimy then moldy. So I think I’ll return it.
