Best garden showers for 2020

To the question of what to do when there is no possibility or need to run a water supply system with all accompanying units at the summer cottage, but you need to wash yourself occasionally, there is an answer: garden compact showers, which can also be used to water the garden. At the dacha, the issue of hygiene is especially important when work is being done where you have to get your hands dirty. Based on the technical characteristics and subjective description of different models, buyers have created a rating of the best for 2020.

Garden shower specifications

Description of technical characteristics is important for any category of goods. These are individual indicators, therefore, in addition to the price, they pay attention to them when choosing.

Manufacturing material

The shower is often made of metal, some elements at the junction of parts and the head are made of polycarbonate or other plastic. The bags are made of waterproof plastic PVC, or shower units are sold with plastic tanks included. Most often garden showers are sold with water bags, and plastic tanks are sold separately as a spare part.

Some models are sold with plastic pallets. Users make pallets from wood if it is not included, which is more common. But wooden ones can quickly wear out or rot if they don't have the ability to dry well. Outside, tanks and bags should be black in order to quickly heat their water from the sun. Even if the model has a heating function, heating from this heat source is often used to save electricity.

Shower cabins are on sale completely made of wood, but they are not popular, since wood is not fireproof, not electrically safe, and most summer residents, if they wish, can make it themselves. This is more relevant in our country than abroad, where most people do not know how to do anything except their profession. Residents of the CIS countries are used to specializing in many things. Therefore, wooden booths are simply irrelevant in our country, as a purchase, rarely which users, after all, buy ready-made ones.

Presence of heating

Electric heating increases the cost of a garden shower, but allows you to wash with water at a comfortable temperature on a cloudy day. Heaters must have electrical protection and a sufficiently long cord, since the presence of outlets on the street is quite complicated and inconvenient. And it's not safe in the rain.

Shower with changing room

Showers, which are sold with walls, are equipped inside for changing rooms.There are coat hooks and waterproof curtains to help keep clothes dry. Also the presence of locks and hooks that close the door from accidental intrusion of roommates or other tourists. Cabins can be sold with compartments, separate for changing rooms. There may even be three compartments, connecting the changing room and shower.

Pump presence

Low-cost options work by placing a bag or tank over the user's head and simply flowing out of it. Or it can be driven by a pump, manual or electric. A very convenient pump that has buttons on the floor, you can pump water through it by trampling.

Water pressure adjustment

Good flow pressure - less time in the shower and time savings. As a rule, structures that are able to provide a high head have its adjustment. You can decrease or increase the force of the fluid flow at your discretion. Cheap options prefer to water with water relatively weakly, without the possibility of change.

With tanks or bags included

Designs that are sold with water tanks. If they are without this device, most likely there will be a pump for pumping water from the tank, or the tank will need to be purchased.

Shower stand

Stands with three legs for easy mounting on a flat surface, and not so. Almost all tube-shaped designs are sold with peaks that are shoved into the ground. Such peaks will not stand on a flat surface. Therefore, tripods are very comfortable.

Portable and foldable showers

The shower can be in the form of a stand, which is attached in parts, or in the form of a hanging bag with a shower umbrella. Suspended are mounted on a tree or other support. The fastenings to which the structure clings must be very strong and reliable.

Tank volume (bag)

In order to wash one person you need up to 10 liters of water. Naturally, when the shower tank only intervenes 5 liters, there will be little sense from it, only torment. But it is great for washing small animals or watering a small area with plants.

Tank cleaning capability

When the contents of the tank are left for a long time, and the water is not drained from there, there is a possibility of contamination. If the tank is of corrosive metal, cleaning is necessary. This option is available in more expensive types.

Installing a shower in the country

To be successful in installing a shower, you need to take into account that the area should be as illuminated as possible by the sun, equipped with a path to get to it if the soil is very wet in bad weather. Arrange a waste water drain so as to minimize environmental pollution. If the shower does not have a tray, it is advisable to install one so that the water that flows down goes under the feet, leaving them clean.

It is not advised to place a shower structure near a toilet or a well, so that dirty water does not flow where it is not needed, and does not overflow the toilet pit. Also, an unpleasant odor can spoil the aesthetics of hygiene.

A drainage ditch (the path through which the used water flows) is made when more than 30 liters of water are used per day on a regular basis. It is advised to make a hole half a meter deep right under the pallet, lining the bottom with stones and sand.
