A portable shower is a modern and very convenient invention for giving and hiking. It can be easily and quickly enough placed in any convenient place or taken by yourself on a long journey. It is lightweight, compact, does not take up much space.
It’s not very convenient to water yourself from a jug, hose or watering can. At the same time, it is not always possible to put a large stationary shower with a barrel, and filling it with water is not always possible. At the same time, it is good because a black barrel quickly heats the water in the heat. A portable shower is an easy and convenient solution. A sufficient amount of water is poured into it, allowing it to be washed, while it heats up pretty quickly. The bag can be hung anywhere, even on a tree. In the event that it is placed in the shade. You can put the bag in a sunny place so that the water in it is heated, and then hang it in a place convenient for you, where you can calmly wash yourself. A portable shower is convenient to use when it is not so hot, for example, in August-September. Anyway, the water in it will heat up quite strongly. Pouring it is quite convenient, since the bag-tank can be transported anywhere. So, you can fill it with a hose, in a spring or river.
A country portable shower has a number of advantages:
- It can work continuously up to 10 minutes. This time is quite enough. Especially when you consider that in the heat it can have time to warm up more than once, that is, after using all the water, it can be filled again and again.
- Ease of transportation. The shower will fit in a small bag when folded.
- Ease of use. It is enough to suspend it to a height of about two meters, and then turn on the crane.
- The tank is painted black and completely tight. This allows the water to warm in the sun quickly enough.
A portable shower for a summer residence may have a more primitive device. You can take a simple
plastic bag, a cork from a plastic bottle with holes. The cork is stuck in the corner of the package, wrapped with tape or rope. Then the "container" is suspended from a tree. If you just need to wash off the salt after bathing, then you can just pierce the bag itself without bothering with the design of the dosing device.
You can make another option. You need to take a sturdy canvas bag, to which, using a wire, you need to tie the neck of an ordinary garden watering can. All this should be hung on the console, and the shower can be of any kind, it all depends on your imagination.
You can use a portable car shower. It is an 18-liter plastic structure with a rigid frame in which a heating element is integrated. Such a shower works from 12 volts, which allows you to heat water, while away from civilization, if you went on a trip by car. The design can work from a regular household network, for this you only need an additional network adapter.
You can buy a pump for a regular tank, eliminating the need to constantly fill the tank with buckets of water or run to the source. As you can see, a portable shower can be made in different ways.
