Dimensions

Heating time depends on several factors: the initial water temperature, outdoor temperature, ground type (concrete, grass, etc.), wind, sun, etc. To speed up heating, increase the surface area exposed to the sun by laying down the non-inflated shower. How water can also be added directly to the shower, but be careful the water temperature doesn’t exceed 50°C or you could risk damaging the product and causing yourself harm.

Conditions for heating water

To help warm up the water, put the shower in the sun between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. We advise against putting it behind a car windscreen; our tests show that this could heat the water above 70°C. Keep in mind that the will temperature drops as soon as the sun fades. When you turn on the pressure, the valve will emit a ringing noise to signal it has reached maximum pressure: pump it up again when the pressure drops while in use. 

Recommended use

We gathered the following temperature readings after a heating test on the standing shower exposed to sunlight. The test was performed during an afternoon in mid-June in the south of France.
The shower was standing, pressurized and filled with water to maximum capacity (10 L).
Outside temperature of 25°C, barely any wind, 750 W/m² solar power. Initial water temperature: 22°C.
In 3 hours, the water went from 22°C to 30°C.
In 5 hours, the water went from 22°C to 35°C.
In 6 hours and 48 minutes, the water temperature went from 22°C to 38°C.

Design tests - Standing shower

You can improve heating time by increasing the area exposed to the sun: place the shower horizontally on a table or on the ground. Performance will improve if the test is performed under the same conditions but in an upright position.

Design tests - Flat-lying shower

We added a water temperature gauge. The gauge starts when the water is at 30°C and goes up to 40°C. In all cases, it is recommended to let the water run a little before taking your shower to ensure that the water is not too hot.

Water temperature gauge

We have added a window that lets you see the current water level.

Water visibility

This shower is sold with a pump repair kit (seals). You can find the shower head with the hose and pump repair kit on our website in after-sales service.
