The aluminum frame tank by Yakima even though more expensive would be a better value in the long run. Just my $.02

At twice the price, the Yakima Road Shower 4 should be of better quality. It's pressure relief valve is set for 55lbs, so that should be a nicer stream than the 40psi of the Waterport.


In this case, you get what you pay for.

Yes, that's definitely an upgrade and one I was considering initially. Unfortunately those were out of stock for a long time. For a fixed installation that would be the way to go. One thing that the waterport has over it is the ability to pressurize by hand and its portability.
