• a cylindrical container having an open top, a closed bottom and a cylindrical side wall therebetween, the side wall having a pair of diametrically opposed handles pivotally disposed thereon downwardly of the open top, the container having a shelf secured to an interior surface of the cylindrical side wall disposed adjacent to the open top, the shelf having an upwardly extending wall;
• a cover removably positioned over the open top of the container, the cover being engaged by the handles in a locked orientation, the cover having a grasping handle integrally formed therewith, an aperture extending through the cover offset from a center thereof;
• a battery positioned on the shelf of the container between the upwardly extending wall and the cylindrical side wall;
• a pump secured to an interior surface of the closed bottom of the container, the pump being in electrical communication with the battery, the pump having a water outlet;
• a power switch disposed on the cylindrical side wall of the container and disposed downwardly of the open top, the power switch being in electrical communication with the battery;
• a flexible interior hose having a lower end coupled to the water outlet of the pump and an upper end coupled to said cover about the aperture of the cover such that said interior hose is in fluid communication with said aperture;
• an elongated tube comprising a plurality of separable segments, the separable segments including an upper segment, a lower segment and an intermediate segment therebetween, a lower end of the lower segment being coupled to said cover about said aperture such that said tube is in fluid communication with said aperture and said interior hose, an upper end of each of the segments having a collar disposed thereon, the collar having a pair of opposed grooves formed therein, a lower end of each of the segments save the lower segment having a pair of opposed protuberances extending outwardly thereof for mating with the opposed grooves on the collars;
• and
• a shower head coupling with the collar of the upper segment of the elongated tube.
