TIME AND CONDITIONS FOR HEATING WATERHeating time depends on several factors: the initial water temperature, outdoor temperature, ground type (concrete, grass, etc.), wind, sun, etc. To speed up heating, increase the surface area exposed to the sun by laying down the non-inflated shower. It's also possible to add hot water directly but be careful as the temperature shouldn't go over 50oC as you risk damaging the product components and putting yourself in danger.
Recommendations for useTo encourage increased temperature, put the shower in the sun between :12:00 and 18:00. We advise against putting it behind a car windscreen; our tests show that the water could go beyond 70oC. Be aware that the temperature drops as soon as the sun fades. When you put the pressure on, a ringing noise from the valve will signal maximum pressure: pump again when the pressure drops in use.
DESIGN TEAM TESTS - STANDING SHOWERHere are our temperature readings after a heating test on the standing shower exposed to the sun. The test took place one mid-June afternoon in the south of France.The shower was standing, pressurised and filled with water to its maximum level (10 L).Outside temperature of 25oC, barely any wind, 750 W/M2 solar power. Initial water temperature: 22oC.In 3 hours, the water went from 22oC to 30oCIn 5 hours, the water went from 22oC to 35oCIn 6 hours 48 minutes, the water went from 22oC to 38oC.
DESIGN TEAM TESTS - SHOWER LAY FLATYou can improve heating time by increasing the area exposed to the sun: lie the shower horizontally on a table or on the ground. Performance will be improved under the same test conditions in standing position.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGEWe have added a water temperature gauge. This start when the water is at 30oC and goes up to 40oC. In all cases, it is recommended to let the water run a little before taking your shower to ensure that the water is not too hot.
WATER VISIBILITYWe have added a window so you can see the current water level.
