Shower drain pan

[wavery]

I have been looking for a drain pan for our shower tent:

for a long time. We have been using a plastic container that is 14" x 22" and it just doesn't catch all of the water.

I found this today and will be ordering the 26" round pan:

It has a drain fitting that I am going to hook-up a pump to, so that I can easily transfer the water into a 5g jug for dumping.

Just thought that I would share that in case anyone has a similar need or a better idea .

The only problem I see with that floor pan. is its half the size of your shower tent. so you will be collecting only half the water.
I have been trying to find something myself for a floor pan. At the moment I am thinking about one of those small round 2-3 ring blow-up pools for children. My thought is that the shower tent itself would fit within the pool and since you have to blow it up, it would take very little storage area.
maybe someone else has figured this out !!!

We tried the childs pool thing. The bottom burst open the first time I picked it up with about 3 gallons of water in it. I guess it may be OK if you pump the water out and don't try to pick it up with water in it. You would need to put something soft under it because just about anything will poke a hole in it. They were designed for a small child and sitting on the grass. They don't take much abuse.

We used a plastic box last weekend. It was 14" x 22" and it caught most of the water. I was actually quite impressed. I didn't think that it would work at all. The fact is, most of your shower water runs down your body and off of your feet. That's why, when I saw this pan, I thought, "That's it".

LOL, 3 gallons would be heavy and awkward to try to carry. I already bought a hand pump from harbor freight for transferring the water into a tote. and I am waiting for the sale ads for the pool. I do figure they will be throw away's and if we are gentle with it, they might last a whole season. 90% of the time we stay at CG's with showers, so I am willing to give it a try. I need something that doesn't take a lot of storage room.
maybe I should just buy a small trap and pvc pipe and build my own take-a-part drain pan.
