Zodi Extreme Heater/Shower retrofit

I reviewed this shower last summer in my camping gear review thread.

While the shower works just fine stock from the factory, I did not like how you had to reach down to the tank and flip the red valve to the on/off position for the water flow.

So I did some searching online at Expo's forum, and saw that some used a kitchen faucet sprayer.
I picked one up today that was preplumbed, and also bought some hose clamps sized at #4, and some barb splicers sized at 3/8".
If you buy one of these sprayers, get the preplumbed one instead of a kit where you must assemble the hose to the end of the sprayer.

My intentions were to not reuse the black Zodi hose and just use the new sprayer hose since it has a brass fitting on it, and I was going to splice that 4' hose to a 3' section I bought as seen in one of the pictures.
However it turned out the brass fitting on the new sprayer hose is the wrong size for the Zodi tank, hence why you can see a section of hose cut off in one of the pictures below.

I now though have close to 10' of hose hooked up to the tank.
The end of the black Zodi hose has the brass fitting on it that you connect to the tank.

I shot a quick video and uploaded it to YouTube too.
I did a video last year too of the Zodi shower, and the stock showerhead is fine, but with this new kitchen sprayer on the end now, it is much nicer since you no longer have to reach down to the tank to turn on/off the water flow.

Can not wait to try it out this summer when I get out to camp again.
