Summer showers, which are installed in the country, can be divided into two groups (this depends on the temperature of the water used in them): warm and hot. In the first devices, the temperature does not exceed the mark of sixty degrees, and in the second case, the temperature is much higher. A hot shower for giving provides heating of water with the help of a special device. To choose which of these two devices is more suitable, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account all the parameters of the residential area. These include: the presence of water in the country, its quantity and quality, equipment for creating a shower, heat sources, their power and the type of fuel with which they work.
To build a quality shower for a summer residence, you need to properly plan its placement. It should be in that place of the site, which is as far away from home as possible. This will protect the foundation from possible penetration of water into it. In addition, it is worth taking measures such as creating a concrete well to receive the water used in the shower. In the case of using a heater, the design should be away from household buildings made of wood and other flammable objects.
Shower for a summer residence can be of various types. The simplest and most frequently used option is a design in which water is heated exclusively by solar energy. It is easy enough to equip a building of this type from improvised materials. For the shower, you will need to take plastic wrap or wooden panels that will be attached to the racks. A shower tank for the cottage in this case will not be needed. Instead, you can use a watering can or bucket, which is equipped with a crane. In this case, the water will need to be heated independently, and then poured into the selected product in a warm form (immediately before taking a shower). To collect the liquid after use, it is worth creating a pit of small depth. Then it is covered with well-sliced boards. This option can also be simplified by just pouring a layer of small gravel. Then, lattices made of wood are laid on it.
A more sophisticated shower for the garden is arranged with the help of a tank. To ensure that the water in it is heated as much as possible during sunny weather, it is necessary to paint the container black. To use solar energy even better, a freon capacitor must be attached to the tank. This is a black metal panel, which can be found on the back of the refrigerator, unusable. If such an option cannot be implemented, it is best to give preference to the first.
So that the water does not cool in cold weather, the tank is covered with plastic wrap or plexiglass. In addition, it can be heated by an electric boiler. A country shower, which is not a problem in our time, also has other, more sophisticated execution technologies. If the owner of the site does not want to spend his time and efforts, then the easiest way is to purchase a ready-made design that will be installed by specialists.
