Steinbach Solardusche Split, Original Owner'S Manual, Page: 31 / 275

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.
If hot water is needed, the faucet
3
at the
base of the tank
4
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
10
. 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.
If no such floor is available at the desired location, it is recommended to use
a Steinbach Outdoor Floor Element (item no. 049028, not included in the
package contents).
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:
- Outdoor location with plenty of sunlight
- Stable, level ground not subject to the influence of water
- Minimum distance of 3 m from walls or objects
- Minimum distance of 3 m from a pool
- Easy connection of the garden hose
- Ability to drain the water from the tank
- Surroundings not sensitive to vibration and noise
To prepare the setup location, proceed as follows:
1. Clean the selected setup location by sweeping away stones and other solid objects.
2. Set up the shower exactly as it will be installed later.
Arrange the tank so that the faucet can be easily reached and there is enough space
for showering.
