Shower tank heated to the cottage or private house

The best salvation from the heat in the heat of the summer is a cool shower. In apartments it is taken in the bathroom, and in private houses or in cottages they build special booths directly in the open air. At the same time, a plastic water tank (or another) is installed from above, which is filled from a garden hose. The water in it is heated by solar heat.

Such shower cabins are usually installed in an open space. For their manufacture, mainly wood is used, because it is quite light and easy to process. The watering can and crane can be purchased at any hardware store or on the market. There you can buy a plastic shower tank. And they are sold in different colors and there are different capacities.

However, it should be noted that such a design can satisfy users' requests only in the summer period of time. This is due to the fact that with the onset of cold weather, the opportunity to heat water from solar heat disappears, which means that such a shower will no longer be needed.

Therefore, the majority of summer residents and people living in private homes prefer to install a special heated shower tank. It can be used even in cool weather, as well as in spring and autumn.

The construction of such a tank is quite simple. It is a container into which a heating element capable of operating in a humid environment is installed and a special thermal relay that will monitor the heating level. However, it should be taken into account that electricity is used for the use of this device, which means that precautions for installation and safety rules must be observed. It is best to buy a heated shower in the store or use a boiler for this purpose.

One of the most important characteristics of such a device is the coloring. The fact is that to save electricity it is worth dyeing the container in black. Even a heated shower tank, painted in black, will be able to raise the temperature much faster, and to maintain a certain value it will need less energy.

When buying such a tank, one of the most important parameters to consider is the volume of capacity. It must be calculated from the number of people living in the house, and the periodicity of using the shower. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the heated shower tank is not a boiler, which means that its capacity should be one and a half times more. This is due to the fact that in the apartment hot water we brew cold, reducing its consumption. At the same time, the summer shower only uses water from the tank, which means it must be much larger.

Thus, a summer shower in the open air is a real find on hot summer days. At the same time it allows you to save money on heating water, and when using a heated tank it can be used even in autumn or spring. However, it is necessary to observe all precautions when working with electricity and purchase such devices is only in specialized stores.
