Description of technical characteristics is important for any category of goods. These are individual indicators, therefore, in addition to the price, when choosing, pay attention to them.
The shower is often made of metal, some elements at the junction of the parts and the head are made of polycarbonate or other plastic. Bags are made of waterproof plastic PVC, or shower units with plastic tanks are sold as a set. Most often, garden showers are sold with water bags, and plastic tanks are sold separately as a spare part.
Some models are sold with plastic pallets. Users make pallets out of wood if it is not included, which is the most common. But wood can wear out or rot quickly if they are not allowed to dry well. Outside, the tanks and bags should be black so that the water in them quickly heats up from the sun. Even if the model has a heating function, to save electricity, heating from this heat source is often used.
Shower cabins are sold entirely made of wood, but they are not popular, since wood is not fireproof, not electrically safe, and most summer residents, if they wish, can make it themselves. This is more relevant in our country than abroad, where most people do not know how to do anything except their profession. Residents of the CIS countries are used to specializing in many things.Therefore, wooden booths are simply irrelevant in our country, as a purchase, rarely do users, after all, buy ready-made ones.
Electric heating increases the cost of a garden shower, but allows you to wash with water at a comfortable temperature on a cloudy day. Heating must have electrical protection and a sufficiently long cord, since the presence of sockets on the street is quite complicated and inconvenient. And it's not safe in the rain.
Shower cabins, which are sold with walls, are equipped inside as changing rooms. There are coat hooks and waterproof curtains to help keep clothes dry. Also, the presence of locks and hooks that close the door from the accidental intrusion of cohabitants or other tourists. Cabins can be sold with compartments, separately for changing rooms. Maybe even three compartments, with connecting a dressing room and a shower.
Cheap options work by placing a bag or tank over the user's head, and water simply flows out of it. Or it can be driven by the power of a pump, manual or electric. A very convenient pump that has buttons on the floor, you can pump water through it with the help of trampling.
Good flow pressure - less time spent in the shower and save time. As a rule, designs that have the ability to provide high pressure have its adjustment. You can decrease or increase the strength of the fluid flow as you wish. Cheap options prefer to water relatively weakly, with no possibility of change.
Designs that are sold with water tanks.If they are without this device, most likely there will be a pump for pumping water from the tank, or the tank will need to be purchased.
Racks with three legs for easy mounting on a flat surface, and not so much. Almost all designs that are tube-shaped are sold with spikes that are pushed into the ground. On a flat surface, such peaks will not stand. Therefore, tripods are very convenient.
The shower can be in the form of a rack, which is attached in parts, or in the form of a hanging bag with a shower umbrella. Suspended mounted on a tree or other support. The fasteners for which the structure clings must be very strong and reliable.
In order to wash one person, you need up to 10 liters of water. Naturally, when the shower tank holds only 5 liters, there will be little sense from it, only torment. But it is perfect for washing small animals or watering a small area with plants.
When the contents of the tank are left for a long time, and the water is not drained from there, there is a possibility of contamination. If the tank is made of metal that is susceptible to corrosion, cleaning is necessary. This option is found in more expensive types.
To be successful in installing a shower, you need to consider that the area should be as lit by the sun as possible, equipped with a path to be able to get to it if the soil is very wet in bad weather. Arrange a drain for used water in such a way as to minimize environmental pollution. If the shower does not have a tray, it is advisable to install one so that the water that drains goes under the feet, leaving them clean.
It is not recommended to place a shower structure near a toilet or a well, so that dirty water does not flow where it is not needed, does not overflow the toilet pit. Also, an unpleasant smell can spoil the aesthetics of hygiene.
A drainage ditch (the path through which used water flows) is made when more than 30 liters of water per day is regularly used. It is advised to make a hole half a meter deep right under the pallet, lining the bottom with stones and sand.
One of the important criteria for choosing a product is its price. It may depend on where you can buy cheaper, in which store. This information is changing rapidly, it is worth checking it immediately before buying.
