- Portable, single hose – Are attached to a flexible hose and can be moved anywhere the hose can reach. These showers typically only use cold water.
- Portable, pedestal or tower –These showers are hooked up to an outdoor plumbing line and are less mobile than single hose models, but can use hot and cold water. Some may also be attached to a garden hose.
