Operation
Using the solar shower
Observe the following before using your solar shower:
- Bacteria can multiply in warm water if the product is not used for longer periods. Risk of infection!
The tank must be drained.
- The water temperature in the tank depends on the level of sunshine. In cloudy weather, the water
will take longer to heat up. The water can become very hot in the case of intense sunlight.
- Remove obstacles from the showering area.
To use your filled solar shower, proceed as follows:
1. Connect a garden hose to the hose adapter
5
and the faucet of the water pipe. Position the
garden hose so that no one can trip over it. Turn on the water supply faucet.
2. Turn the faucet
8
to the center position (between hot and cold). Open the shower faucet.
3. Turn the faucet left or right to set your desired water temperature. Use the faucet to control the
water temperature and quantity, and enjoy showering in warm water.
4. After showering, close the shower faucet. Turn off the faucet of the water pipe.
The shower is finished.
Water is still coming out of the shower head even after the faucet has been closed. This
is caused by the water heating up in the unpressurized tank and is not a defect!
Cleaning
Only clean the product with a standard bathroom cleaner, clear tap water and a lint-free cloth.
Aggressive cleaning agents can damage the product. Dry the product with a lint-free cloth.
Disassembly
Dismantling the product
Disconnect the solar shower from the water pipe and open the faucet. Unscrew the top part of the tank
from the bottom part of the tank. Remove the attachment screws from the base of the product while the
second person supports the product. Drain the remaining water from the tank.
Storage
After thorough cleaning and drying, store the product in a dry and frost-free place (= +5 °C).
Troubleshooting
Fault description Cause Remedy
Water is still coming out of the
shower head even after the faucet
has been closed. This is caused by the water heating
up in the unpressurized tank. It is not a defect!
Water is leaking from a screw
connection. The screw connection is not water-
tight. Wrap the thread in Teflon tape.
There is no water coming out of the
shower head. No water is being supplied. Check the water supply and the
garden hose for damage and
