As is known, progress is usually the work of people who are lazy and who love comfort. Everything is aimed at making our life easier and making it more enjoyable. The country side did not bypass the progress. If earlier the shower from the tank, heated by the sun, was the norm for a country house, today more and more often summer residents give preference to warm warm water. A summer heated outdoor shower is an excellent solution, since cloudy weather or a sharp cold snap is now not terrible.
Garden shower with heating
What is the difference between such a warm soul from the ordinary? It is clear that the water there will be hot and taking a shower is much more comfortable. But the main difference in the design. The summer heated shower has two variants of design, depending on the chosen method of heating the water.
A heated shower for a summer residence can be equipped with a solar storage water heater. With such a device, the water will be heated by vacuum tubes. Moreover, heating will occur at any ambient temperature. Even in winter, water can be heated to 70 ° C, and in hot summer, get boiling water. Garden shower with heating of this type is completely independent of UV radiation, so that even in cloudy weather you will get warm water for bathing.
The second version of the design of the summer shower with heating - from the electricity. Of course, you should first take care of quality wiring. But this type of heating will only work if the water comes from the central water supply.
There are two more alternatives, if the shower is only needed for occasional use. For small containers that have to be filled with buckets, a filling heater is more suitable. As a rule, the design of such a shower for a heated cottage provides a tank of not more than 100 liters, also there is a special heater and a safety thermostat.
Well, as an alternative to the traditional design with a small booth, there is also a car shower with heated water. This option is more suitable for the conditions of a hiking trip or fishing, but it is also suitable for a dacha. Heating will occur solely at the expense of the engine, and the kit includes a special pump with a heat exchanger and a watering can.
Barrel for a summer shower with heating
Now let's stop at the water tank. It can be made of a variety of materials, each has its own disadvantages and advantages.
- A plastic heated shower tank has several significant advantages over metal. Water in this tank is much longer left clean, plastic is not afraid of corrosion, it is environmentally friendly. With fairly strong temperature changes from -30 ° C to + 60 ° C, such a tank will last a long time, and it is much easier to install and transport it than metal counterparts.
- Stainless steel tank for a heated shower is almost a dream of a summer resident. Due to anti-corrosion coatings, it does not need painting or priming. The thickness of the walls of such a tank is usually not less than 1 mm. Externally, the tank is not very presentable, but the water in it is kept perfectly, does not bloom and does not deteriorate.
- Barrels made of galvanized metal. Due to the zinc layer the product is less exposed
corrosion, but needs painting. The range of products varies from 40 to 200 liters. In such barrels, even under the influence of direct sunlight, the water heats up perfectly, not to mention the heating elements. - Barrels of ordinary black steel - the most familiar to summer residents with the experience option. This design is the most economical, durable and durable. However, for all its positive qualities, steel has one important drawback. Even after the layer of enamel, sooner or later the first signs of rust will appear. For obvious reasons, water deteriorates noticeably, which makes it unsuitable for bathing for hygienic reasons.
