The RoadShower™ will heat water on a warm and sunny day. The sun heats the black
surface of the tank and the aluminum transfers the heat to the water. The water heats up
as long as the tank is receiving sunlight. The water temperature will rise approximately 10-15
degrees per hour depending on the conditions of your enviorment. If your water temperature
starts at 60 degrees, for example, it might be 90+ in about 2-3 hours. In general, the water
will be about 20-30 degrees warmer than the ambient temperature on a sunny day.
WARNING:
Test the water on your hand for about 10 seconds Remove your hand before the
water gets hot enough to scald you. Keep in mind that the water in a the tank is likely hotter
than the water in the hose. Also, check the thermometer. The highest reading is 118 degrees
fahrenheit, so if there is no reading the water may be too hot. If the water is too hot, you can
add some cool water via the fill cap (realease pressure first) or wait until it cools off naturally.
WARNING:
This product releases pressure at a target of 55-65 PSI. If the pressure relief
valve on the fill cap is damaged or altered, the RoadShower™ could explode and cause injury
or death. Check the pressure while pumping air and never pressurize greater than 65 PSI. If
the pressure is not released before it hitreaches 75 PSI, the fill cap should be replaced.
