Mounting
Mounting at the location
1. Choose a location for the solar shower that receives the most direct
sun-light.
2. The solar shower is fi xed to the fl oor with the integrated base plate
(fi gure 1) and the mounting bolts supplied.
3. For mounting you need a drill. Mark the position of the mounting
holes according to the holes in the base of the solar shower. Trilling
depth in concrete or stone should be at least 50 mm. Then the bolt
has a good traction and the necessary support.
4. Insert the dowels into drilled holes.
5. Place the lower tube over the holes and secure with bolts.
6. Assembly Instructions showerhead (Illustration 2; 1-4)
1 - Place the showerhead on a fl at surface and push the fl at
side of the seal ring into the back of the showerhead fi tting.
2 - Place the ball joint with the round side on the sealing ring.
3 - Place the sleeve over the ball joint and screw in tight.
4 - Now connect the shower head to the connection pipe.
When using tools, please ensure that the surface of the parts is not
damaged.
Starting up
Attach the garden hose to the inlet port of the shower. The max. opera-
ting pressure for the solar shower is 3 Bar.
Be sure the hose is placed safely.
Initial Setup:
Connect the water hose to the shower. Filling tube with valve in "hot"
position ensures no air pockets are trapped in the shower.
The fi lling of the water tank will take about 4 to 6 minutes. If water runs
evenly out of the shower head, close the tap, because now the tank is
completely fi lled.
Use
Caution: Due to the solar radiation, the water in the solar tank can get
hot. We recommend opening the handle in the middle position between
hot and cold.
1. Lift the handle to its ON position and you are ready to enjoy your
solar heated water! Note: The water supply must be turned on for
the shower to run!
2. Turn off the water supply to shower when done.
If the shower has not been used for 24 hours or more, before the next
use it should be rinsed for at least 2 minutes to replace the water in the
solar tank completely. In warm environments, pathogens can multiply
very well in stagnant water. Stagnant water in the tank has no drinking
water quality anymore.
Important Notes
After closing the tap, the shower still may run! This is not a defect,
but technically conditioned!
This solar shower is not a closed system. If hot water is required, cold
water is admitted by actuating the tap at the bottom of the tank and the
warm water already heated in the upper area is pressed out of the tank.
The entire body of the shower is fi lled with water and works as a solar
heating.
Any pressure caused by heating can escape through the shower head.
Off Season - Disassembly
During winter the water has to be removed from the solar shower
completely. Furthermore the solar shower has to be knocked down in
winter and stored in a dry place. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause frost damage on material. Frost damage will not be recognized
as a claim.
1. Turn off and disconnect the garden hose.
2. To empty the shower, lift the cold-hot handle to its ON position
again (approx. 2 minutes).
3. Unscrew the mounting bolts in the ground and pour the remaining
water out of the unit (this is absolutely essential).
