Before you begin
Model 1532 only - Preparing third party solar showers for use with system.
1.
Remove existing shower hoses from outlet port of third party solar showers if present.
2.
Slide supplied adapter connectors onto outlet ports.
a.
Outlet port outer diameter of solar shower must be between 0.43-0.50 inches (11-12.7mm).
3.
Before filling cold water supply bag, temporarily insert supplied shower head into adapter connector
to plug outlet.
4.
Close pinch valve
Water containers that have shutoff valves at the outlet port are not
advised for use with the ShowerCoil system. However, if they
are
used,
extra care must be taken to ensure each valve is fully open during the
heating process to maintain unrestricted water flow. Failure to do so can
damage or melt the heating coil due to absent or inadequate water flow
and produce steam or overheated water causing a risk of injury including
burns.
