Portable Roll-In Showers – A Shower for Every Body

Safe, dignified bathing without a bathroom remodel

Altamira now offers FAWSsit™ portable showers — a fully assembled, fold-flat roll-in shower that sets up in under 5 minutes, requires no lifts or transfers, and costs a fraction of remodeling a bathroom for accessibility.

Sets Up in Under 5 Minutes No Plumbing or Electrical Needed 5-Year Limited Warranty

A Practical Solution When Remodeling Isn't Possible

Your decision to care for a loved one at home shouldn't depend on requiring expensive bathroom remodeling or compromising bathing safety. Mobility challenges arise for a variety of reasons, and they can make a daily shower difficult to perform.

Unlike prolonged sponge bathing — which cannot provide the thorough skin care that running water does and can lead to skin issues and infections — the FAWSsit™ Shower provides a private, refreshing cleanse. Users can simply be rolled in, enjoy a warm and safe shower, and be rolled out, remaining in their wheelchair throughout.

Fast and Easy Assembly

Where Does the Water Go?

You don't have to wonder where the water goes in a FAWSsit™ shower system. A custom wet/dry pump keeps the drain pan nearly empty throughout the shower, removing up to 3.5 gallons of water per minute straight out through a standard drain hose — no plumbing work, no standing water, no mess left behind.

Quick & Easy Setup

Sets up in under 5 minutes, no tools, remodeling, or special training required.

No Lifts or Transfers

The patient stays seated in a wheelchair throughout the entire shower, roll in and roll out.

A Fraction of Remodel Cost

Costs a fraction of what a custom-built accessible shower or bathroom remodel would run — often thousands less.

Ships Fully Assembled

Arrives ready to use straight out of the box, and folds flat for easy storage between uses.

No Special Plumbing or Electrical Setup Needed

The custom wet/dry pump connects to a standard faucet and drains up to 3.5 gallons of water per minute — no construction or licensed contractor required. Anywhere within reach of a sink faucet works, from a bathroom to a bedroom or laundry room.

Real Stories

Why FAWSsit™ Showers Are a Game-Changer

Hear directly from families who've made bath time safe, dignified, and easy again.

★★★★★

Wow, what a difference to be able to take a shower again! Since my accident, getting up and down the stairs is a chore to say the least. With this shower it's nice because we can fold it and put it next to the folding table once I'm done. Thank you FAWSsit for a great idea.

I have been using my FAWSsit roll-in shower for about a year now. I live in a small inaccessible studio apartment. The shower/tub is inaccessible. The FAWSsit has allowed me to shower again! My caregiver is able to set up and break down the shower very easily. It's been a game changer!

We've been using the FAWSsit portable shower and it's exactly what we hoped for — safe, practical, and easy to use. Overall it's been a dignity-preserving solution that works for my mother who no longer has the stress of getting into the tub with a transfer bench. The best part is the customer service.
