Learn how to attach and use the WaterPORT Soap Holder with your Day Tank or GoSpout for a tidy, organized camp shower setup.
Quick answer
Mount the WaterPORT Soap Holder to your 4 Gallon Day Tank or 2 Gallon GoSpout using the included stainless-steel L-bracket and Velcro strap, then slide your soap bottle onto the foot and secure it for a hands-free camp shower.
Why a dedicated soap holder improves your camp shower
Without a designated spot, soap bottles tend to slide off wet surfaces or get buried in gear. The WaterPORT Soap Holder keeps your soap within easy reach and off the ground, reducing mess and wasted water. The stainless-steel bracket resists rust, and the Velcro strap fits most standard soap bottle sizes.
Step-by-step: Attach and use the Soap Holder
- Choose your mounting location: Select a spot on your WaterPORT 4 Gallon Day Tank or 2 Gallon GoSpout where the bracket will sit flat and not interfere with the tank's handles or hose connections. The L-bracket works best on a vertical or slightly angled surface. Avoid mounting near the tank's fill cap or drain valve to prevent interference.
- Attach the stainless-steel L-bracket: Place the bracket against the tank surface so the foot (the horizontal part) faces outward. Use the provided screws or hardware (if included) to fasten the bracket securely. For temporary setups, the Velcro strap alone can hold the bracket in place, but for permanent attachment, use the screws. Hand-tighten screws only; over-tightening could strip the plastic tank wall.
- Secure the soap bottle: Set your soap bottle on the foot of the L-bracket so it rests flat. Wrap the included Velcro strap around the bottle and the bracket's vertical arm, pulling snugly. Ensure the strap is tight enough to prevent sliding but not so tight it deforms the bottle. Test the strap tension by gently tugging the bottle; if it moves, tighten the strap.
- Use during your camp shower: With the Soap Holder mounted, you can pump or pour water from your WaterPORT tank while keeping the soap within easy reach. The bracket holds the bottle steady, so you can lather up without juggling the bottle. Keep the soap bottle's cap closed when not in use to avoid leaks inside your gear bag.
Product details
- Soap Holder: The Soap Holder uses an engineered stainless-steel L-bracket that attaches to your WaterPORT tank and a Velcro strap to secure the bottle. The bracket holds the bottle upright and stable, even on uneven ground, so you don't have to chase a slippery soap bottle mid-shower.
