The illustration shows how a solar shower works:
The entire shower body is filled with water and
works in a similar way to an electric water heater
in which the heated water also collects at the top.
If hot water is needed, the faucet

at the base of
the tank

is turned to let in cold water and the
water in the top region, which has already been
heated, is pushed out of the tank.
Any pressure that builds up due to the water
heating up in the tank can therefore escape
through the shower head

. This causes water to
drip from the shower head when the faucet is
closed.
Preparation
Preparing the setup location and the connections
The shower must be anchored to the ground so that it can be used safely.
The safest place to use the shower is on a smooth, level concrete or wooden floor.
Careful selection and good preparation of the setup location makes it much easier to set up and use the
shower. The following requirements must be met or considered:
- Water supply/drain, attachment and solar radiation
- Sturdy, level, waterproof and slip-proof floor, alternatively the floor element (item no. 049028)
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
The product can topple.
-
A second person who holds the product is required for installation.
To prepare the setup location, proceed as follows:
1. The second person positions the shower at the desired location and secures it so that it cannot
topple over. Mark the drilling points through the holes in the base of the shower.
2. Detach the shower from the base.
3. Drill suitable holes for the selected attachment materials into the floor with an electric drill.
4. Put the attachment material (e.g. wall anchors) into the holes.
The setup location is prepared.
Installation
Setting up the solar shower
Position the solar shower at the prepared setup location. Make sure that the solar shower is pointing in
the correct direction.
The second person supports the shower while you screw the base of the shower into the floor with the
correct attachment materials.
Assembling the solar shower
Using tools can damage the connections. Tighten the individual parts by hand. The screw connection is
water-tight before screwing it in all the way so that the individual parts can be correctly positioned. The
