    Westy mains is about 100psi. My 12volt shower has a 35psi pressure switch to turn pump off if rose is off. When showering the pump is on of course so the pressure has to be less than 35psi.
    Those regulators go from zero to whatever is applied to them very handy gadgets
    Here is an idea what I mean

    or a digital one

    You may be surprised how little pressure it takes to blow the plastic bits apart. You may need a pressure relief valve to be safe.

    Yeah you wouldn't fill it with air off the compressor as a air tank that's for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if it was around 10 - 15psi is ample for the shower to work fine.

    @ Kallen rafa is in Darwin, you can fry eggs on paint tin lids up there.
    No problem getting the thing hot, Malcolm Douglas did a similar thing for warm water

    Pressurized 4x4 water tanks only require 2-5psi

    I know what you mean. Usually finish work around 8-9 so my theory is the hot hot water should have cooled to nice warm shower. Need a bit of warmth to bubble up and get the crap off.
