Bestway SolarFlow 9.2 Gallon Water Capacity Solar Heat Outdoor Shower with Adjustable Shower Head, Multiple Spray Settings and Quick Connector, Black

Excellent product

I put the shower together, followed instructions, and the result is a very low water flow that barely comes out. I took it apart, tried again, but no improvement.

I ordered this to put out by our pool. It is great to not have to run plumbing to it to get a warm shower. As others pointed out, the water pressure is not what you would probably experience in a plumbed shower, but it works well enough for our needs. The price is a bit high, but it’s quality made and the fact that it’s solar so we didn’t have to invest in a plumber somewhat makes up for it.

In my personal opinion, this is an excellent addition to any backyard with a pool. I used to request my guests to take a shower before entering the pool. Now, the outdoor heated shower makes it more convenient for all my guests. The height is suitable for people of all sizes. The shower is durable, sturdy, and easy to install. I believe it is undervalued considering its usefulness and how essential it has become. Fortunately, the cost is reasonable. I haven't noticed any leaks, but it's difficult to tell since we are always wet when using the shower. Like any showerhead, there might be some drips after use.

We got this solar heater shower to use when we experience water outages which are frequent in our area. This is a great quality solar water heater and it looks like a great piece of craftsmanship work. It took my hubby about 20 min to assemble and it was ready to use. It works great and do far we have not had signs of water leakage. It is a great value for the money because it holds 9.2 gallons of water looks really nice. You can also use it around a pool or hot tub area in the cooler months to rinse off before heading in the house. It comes with a soap dish attachment and the shower head is adjustable. Nice looking solar heater shower.

Good in theory, not in practice.The primary issues are placement of the valve and a lot of flex in the soft hose plumbing inside the unit and the outer plastic pipe walls themselves.The valve comes way before point of use and the hose after the valve is compressed by the water pressure in the tank. That means when you first turn it on, water barely trickles out because the passage is narrow. As pressure slowly builds in the hose, it enlarges and more water can pass to the showerhead. This wastes a lot of solar heated water and user time waiting to come to full pressure. After shutting off the valve, it continues to flow because the pressure in the tank is recompressing the hose forcing the remaining water out. Again wasting water and time. Because the "cold" water inlet is the same as the "hot" water inlet, the hose, there is very little difference in temperature between the hot and cold setting. Because you want the shower to be near the pool, and you generally want the pool to be in shade, the shower unit is often in shade. The hose may be run through sunny areas and is a smaller volume with larger surface area. Overnight temperatures cool the reservoir. Therefore the 'cold' setting is frequently hotter than the 'hot' setting in the morning and reversed in the evening.My temperature adjust handle fell off unnoticed while moving the unit and got run over by the lawnmower. This could be alleviated by inclusion of a small screwdriver to secure the handle. Or designing a tool free installation.Frankly, I would prefer eliminating the internal plumbing and simply place an on/off valve as close to point of use as possible.There are aesthetic issues with the grey paint application.The included quick connect hose fitting leaks terribly and is unusable.The choice for a male threaded inlet means you cannot just directly connect a garden hose to eliminate the bad adapter. The garden hose end is also male. Instead, you must insert a section of female to female hose. Such as a washing machine inlet hose. This is likely smaller than your garden hose, causing a reduction in showerhead pressure. Our home water pressure is a very high 70 psi and the 1" hydrant at the well easily filled the 3/4" 100ft hose. Initial shower flow was still just a trickle.

The water flow is a drip. It didn’t matter what we did there was no water pressure. It took a minute after turning it on for any water to come out. The box got thrown out so I guess we are stuck with it. We will hook a hose up on top and use it that way. I would not recommend it.

I got this solar outdoor shower to have it by my pool, so we rinse ourselves before we go in the house.This was an easy installation. A took some time to fill the tank since is 9.2 gallons and the pressure was not the same as the one coming out on my bathroom, but enough to rinse ourselves to get the choring out if we planning to go back inside the pool.Come with perfect accessory for the soap and also the shower head can be change to a setting for your preference.
