A dacha is, first of all, gardening work. Whether we are talking about a plot of land occupied only by potatoes and onions or a plot with brick residential building in any case, there are plants and even animals that need to be taken care of. And such work is always associated with dirt and dust and the urgent need to take a shower after finishing it. A toptun shower is just the bathing option that is available in the absence of electricity, water supply, or even a summer house as such.
Why do you need a shower?
Showering differs from washing in that in the second case it is impossible to achieve uniform washing: water flows over the same areas of the body without any pressure. A shower involves supplying water in the form of droplets and streams under some pressure, which is much more effective.
On average, an adult needs about 10 liters of water to wash the entire body. Having taken a shower with this volume of water, you can both rinse and cool down. In a basin, these 10 liters will only be enough to wash your hands and feet, as evidenced by reviews not only from summer residents.
Also, using a bathhouse is not a solution: in order to wash off the dirt after righteous garden labors, it is irrational to heat the stove, heat the water and the steam room for a long time. But, however, if there is a bathhouse, then there is both water and electricity, so installing a stationary shower is not a problem. It's a different matter when there is no electricity or water supply. For such cases, portable structures have been developed.
Mobile shower: varieties
- In the very simple version The device is a 10 liter plastic elastic container to which you can attach a shower head. Warm water is poured into the container, then suspended above head level and the tap is unscrewed. If there is no electricity at the dacha, then to get warm water, the container is simply left in the sun.
The disadvantage of the device is the lack of pressure: the water simply drains, which is not entirely convenient. In the video you can see how this ablution takes place.
- Shower stomp is a more effective modification. It consists of a pneumatic foot pump - the well-known “frog”, in the form of a rubber mat with two pedals or even one, and two hoses. One hose is lowered into a container with warm water, the shower head is screwed onto the second one. The water supply is ensured by the operation of the pump: the person taking a shower stomps on the mat, pressing the pedals, and the pump pumps up water. The more vigorously you press, the stronger the water pressure.
The advantages are obvious: firstly, the pressure is adjustable - special effort not required here, as user reviews state. Secondly, the volume of water is limited only by the volume of the container. Water can be pumped from anywhere: from a tank, bucket, well or pool.
Most models use corrugated hoses: they are more flexible, while tubes with smooth walls often break during storage. Replacing them is not difficult.
Models with two pedals – or cylinders – are more convenient because you can operate the pump with two feet. The option with one cylinder requires a little more effort, but its cost is almost 2 times lower. You can heat water on a stove if you have electricity, and in summer the sun is enough.
Application
Such a simple and effective design, of course, found other applications.
- The trampoline shower is the “favorite” equipment of tourists. Hiking trips involve not only long treks on foot, but also the absence of civilized housing in the intermediate stages. And I want to wash away the dust and dirt accumulated over the whole day. In this case, warm water is more difficult to obtain, but in summer cold water from a spring or lake is also perfect.
- Car washing – as well as windows, facades, stone garden paths, platforms and gazebos. Not all of these objects are always located near the house, where the hose can be connected to the water pipe. The shower works great using a bucket or tank. The pressure created by the “frog” is quite enough for high-quality washing, as confirmed by reviews from summer residents.
- Watering and spraying - supplying water in the form of drops, rather than a stream from a bucket, is much healthier for plants.
In the video you can see how a portable shower is used.
Manufacturing of the device
You can build a toptun shower with your own hands in half an hour. Or faster, if all the necessary parts and tools are at hand:
- car or foot pump for a rubber boat;
- container with lid;
- hose – preferably corrugated, two sections with different diameters;
- two plastic tubes with a diameter of 10–12 mm and 18–20 mm;
- shower head;
- cork made of wood or rubber.
The main structural unit here is the cork. You need to make two holes in it with different diameters for plastic or metal tubes. The tube with a smaller cross-section is short, and the one with a larger cross-section for supplying water should reach the bottom of the container.
- The tubes are threaded into the plug, then hoses are connected to them.
- A section with a smaller diameter is attached to a car pump - it serves to supply air to the container. A shower head is attached to the end of the second section.
- Holes are cut in the lid of the container for the cork: the connection must be airtight. When air is pumped into the pump, a pressure difference is created and water rises through the tube. If the lid is not sealed, the device will not work.
- The shower can be improved by attaching a faucet head. In this case, you can pump air into the container without opening the tap so that the water rises and is held under some pressure. Thus, they create a good pressure for about 5 minutes.
In the video, making a shower with your own hands is discussed in detail.
The stomper is, of course, a very simple device. But thanks to its simplicity and unpretentiousness, you can equip it in half an hour. And to use it in such conditions when any other “advanced” devices cannot function.
The shower, perhaps, is one of those devices without which the life of modern people is unthinkable. How can a person who is meticulous about personal hygiene not pay attention to a virtually pocket-sized device called a shower-treadmill, which allows you to take water treatments almost anywhere?
Pocket shower - reality or myth
Everyone strives to secure and make their life more convenient. Take a shower in own apartment couldn't be easier. At most dachas, owners also try to build a bathhouse. There is nothing more beautiful than active recreation combined with cleanliness, which, as we know, is the key to health.
Spoiled, let's be honest, modern man amenities. Personal hygiene such as a bath once a week is unlikely to suit today’s citizens. But here’s the problem: if you build a dacha and a bathhouse on the site on your own, you will have to work hard for months or years, frankly speaking, with unsterile materials and tools. At the end of the day after working on the site, washing off sweat and dirt is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Building a secluded corner for taking procedures is not a problem. A few stakes, used covering material - and the shower stall is ready. So what next? You can put water in a watering can and ask someone to water from above, or use an innovation - a trample shower.
Device Description
The design of the device in question is simple. The trampling shower consists of the following components:
- pump, which can be made in the form of a mat, pear, soft rubber hoses large diameter etc.;
- a valve system that ensures water movement in a given direction;
- intake (suction) sleeve (hose) with a filter element at the end that protects the system from clogging;
- flexible hose ending with a shower head.
You will also need any container of water to operate the shower.
When pressing with your foot on a rug or pear, water is supplied from the container along the route “pump - hose - watering can - summer resident’s body.” The operation of the mechanism does not require much effort. After all, rarely does anyone stand completely still in the soul. But in an ordinary shower, citizens trample around completely in vain, but a trampling shower uses this energy.
Applications and benefits
It is clear that the trampoline is not an item for equipping a bathroom in an apartment, but where the keyword is “mobility”, it has no equal. For the sake of truth, it must be said that this is not the only device for taking hygienic procedures far from civilization. In the same summer cottages you can often see a container of water attached to poles - classic country option soul. There are designs that operate from a 12 V vehicle on-board network, and others.
If all the devices under consideration are mobile in their own way, then the trampler shower is simply super mobile. In order for water to flow, no 12 V is required, there is no need to supply water to a two-meter height and wait for it to heat up sun rays. To take a shower, just fill a bucket with water; if it’s cold, heat a kettle or two and add it to the container. The stomp shower will do the rest. Reviews about the miracle soul come not only from summer residents, but also from lovers active recreation: tourists, fishermen and hunters.
DIY making
Some of our citizens prefer to consider the dacha as something to which they can attach own hands. Such people take pleasure in doing everything themselves at the dacha, like Robinson on his island.
It’s not difficult to assemble a trampoline shower with your own hands if you have a hemispherical pump from a rubber inflatable boat. In fact, this pump is almost a finished product.
Necessary:
- Insert a piece of pipe tightly fitting in diameter into the suction hole of the pump, onto which attach a rubber hose about a meter long (this will be the suction pipe);
- At the end of the pump hose, instead of the pumping nipple, insert (and possibly clamp with a clamp) a rain shower.
That's it. Enjoy your hygiene procedures!
Most summer residents are thinking about creating a shower in their country house with their own hands.
Firstly, this is an opportunity to improve comfortable conditions without big expenses.
Secondly, a properly equipped street garden shower allows you to satisfy the necessary sanitary needs, as it is suitable for use at any time of the year.
And besides, crafts for decorating it make any garden plot exclusive.
Design Features
If the shower will be used exclusively in the summer, then a simple, quickly installed structure, such as a shower stand, camp shower or trampoline, is sufficient.
Install a simple camping summer shower you can do it yourself in a fairly short time.
If long-term operation is planned, including during the cold season, then it is necessary that the design of the shower-craft is reliable and provides for the possibility of installing equipment for heating not only water, but also the air in the cabin.
It is more difficult to install a winter shower in a country house with your own hands, since its design requires a frame and foundation.
Regardless of the modification, the dacha design provides the following equipment:
- foundation or foundation;
- drain or drain;
- pallet and floor;
- cabin;
- holder-diffuser and shut-off valves;
- pipeline;
- devices for pumping and heating water, as well as for heating the cabin.
Film or plastic is used as a material for such a craft as a country shower without a foundation.
For booths installed on a foundation, it is preferable to choose more durable materials- wood or brick. Good option- do-it-yourself polycarbonate shower.
The most famous modifications of the shower room crafts used in summer cottages:
- Toptun - a mat with a pump and hose. The water supply is provided by pressing the feet on the mat;
- Camping - a compact, portable plastic container equipped with a hose and nozzle. It can be stationary or mobile;
- Circular. The circular option ensures water supply from all sides;
- Alekseeva. Provides hydromassage by supplying water under high pressure;
- Tropical. The flow of water entering through a special grille looks like a tropical downpour.
Making a circular shower with your own hands is quite difficult, but the result of this work will please any summer resident.
Toptun is the most popular shower among summer residents
Simple home-made designs of shower devices intended for summer use are considered the optimal solution to the issue of country hygiene.
After all, installing the same circular or tropical shower is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. That is why, when choosing which shower to make at the dacha with their own hands, summer residents most often stop at the trampler.
To build a toptun shower with your own hands, you will need a car pump, two corrugated hoses, a container with a lid, and a shower head. You don't even need a holder here.
Sequence of operation of the trampler:
- Water at the required temperature is taken into the container. Considering that the volume of the container is small, you don’t need a do-it-yourself shower tray if it’s a tramp;
- Crafts are attached to the lid - a wooden or rubber plug equipped with holes and tubes, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the hoses;
- The container is covered with a lid with attached hoses - one from car pump, the second is a shower head holder. Under air pressure from the pump, water flows into the hose. The watering can is held in the hand or attached to any surface.
Using the same principle, you can make a camp summer shower. To do this, you will need a rubber mat or pedals equipped with built-in valves, as well as two hoses.
An ordinary bucket is used as a container for water, covered with a lid, in the hole of which the inlet hose-holder of the watering can is fixed.
As in the first option, a pallet is not required, and the drainage ladder is replaced by earth.
Water is supplied to the traveling version by alternately pressing the pedals with your feet.
Each step provides one serving of water. As a rule, the walking method saves water and is used in conditions with limited access to water resources.
Also, a camp summer shower can be used to wash a car.
A circular shower can be considered as another option for a country house, but in in this case The above actions will not be enough. You will also need a special holder for it.
How to expand the functionality?
The functional purpose of the shower, even in a dacha setting, should not be limited solely to hygienic considerations.
For many summer residents, this is an important part of their suburban area.
But not everyone knows that a do-it-yourself country tropical shower in a bathhouse can fully replace many procedures offered by spa salons.
In practice, the available functionality of the shower is the result of the choice of its type.
That is, in order for a self-built country shower in a bathhouse to meet your expectations, you need to learn more about its functionality and installation stages.
In the minds of most people, a bathhouse is associated with in a healthy way life, and visiting it is considered a preventive measure.
Therefore, Alekseev’s famous shower will come in handy in the bathhouse.
Alekseev's shower is a new generation design, an analogue of the famous Charcot shower with hydromassage properties.
But Alekseev’s shower, an invention of the Russian doctor of the same name, is equipped differently and has no analogues in the world in terms of its effectiveness.
The use of a device created according to Alekseev’s method provides healing through massage and is recommended for many diseases.
To independently install Alekseev’s shower in a bathhouse, you need to understand how it works.
The unique feature of the device is high-speed streams formed using a special design of holes in the nozzle for the watering can.
If you make such an attachment yourself, then install Alekseev’s device in own bathhouse won't be difficult.
To do this, it is necessary to drill cone-shaped holes in the nozzle for the watering can - wide on the side of the water flow and tapering towards the outlet.
Then the craft attachments are placed on the holder. The holder must be selected carefully.
Considering that Alekseev’s device produces a strong flow of water, it is necessary to ensure that the drain ensures its full drainage, or use a tray.
At the same time, Alekseev’s shower can be used not only in a country house, but also in an apartment.
Features of self-installation of various types
The functions of a device used in a summer cottage can be expanded if you take advantage of the non-standard capabilities of its design varieties.
For example, a circular shower, along with hygiene, will also provide a healing effect.
According to the principle of the device, a circular type shower consists of several systematically arranged pipes equipped with small holes and a tap.
In the center there is a holder with the main watering can. Using a tap, the water supply pressure is regulated.
Thus, the circular shower additionally provides comprehensive hydromassage of the body.
You can install such a device yourself both at the dacha and in the apartment.
To create an original shower craft, you need to connect several pipes equipped with small holes in series with a central riser on which the mixer holder is located.
The shape of a circular type shower resembles the back of a chair with transverse or longitudinal bars.
Then you should take care of the water drainage - the ladder will handle this task. The owner of the dacha has the right to decide whether he needs a pallet in this case, or whether a ladder will do just fine.
A tropical shower can be an excellent alternative to a regular shower. This is a device whose water flows simulate a tropical downpour.
Functionally, a tropical shower is a hydromassage device.
However, not every apartment has the opportunity to install a rain shower, but if such a structure is installed in the garden, the impression of authenticity will be complete.
It’s not difficult to build a rain shower in your country house yourself. To do this, it is enough to increase the area of the mixer watering can and strengthen its holder.
A drain will help control the drainage of the powerful flow of water that characterizes a tropical shower. It is also convenient to use a deep tray.
But you need to remember that the holder, the ladder, and the watering can must be of high quality.
Construction stages
To build a summer shower with your own hands, you need to know the basic rules of the process:
- Preparation - determine the dimensions and draw a diagram;
- Selecting a location - sunny place on a hill that is not too far from the house and water supply, but with the possibility of arranging drainage if the shower is equipped with a drain, or drain hole, if a pallet is installed;
- Construction of a foundation - level a site equal to the size of the building, then fill it with concrete;
- Installation of the frame - piles are installed and secured in the corners of the site, then they are tied up, constructing the shower floor. The frame posts are secured with self-tapping screws. They erect walls and a roof;
- Connection of communications - installation of a tank, drainage, lighting and ventilation equipment;
- They install pipes and a pan - it is necessary to drain water. Sometimes they use not a pallet, but a floor into which a large drain is built. The best option for a drainage system is a drain with a lock and a grate. The shower drain performs the function of a sewer, but can have different throughput;
- Waterproofing, wall cladding. For use in the cold season, the walls need to be insulated;
- Decorative design of the shower stall. Beautiful crafts increase the aesthetic appeal of the entire suburban area.
If the weight of the structure is light, then a foundation is not required for its installation. For example, metal frame for a polycarbonate cabin they are installed on reinforcement driven into the ground.
In addition, it is physically easier to build a shower made of polycarbonate with your own hands than from brick.
A properly constructed foundation will allow you to modernize your shower room in the future and endlessly enjoy its new capabilities.
Becoming very relevant. To take water procedures, you should take a basin and heat the water, and then manually pour the water onto yourself. This option is inconvenient and problematic. An excellent solution for taking a shower in nature would be to use a shower-treadmill.
Its main features are mobility and regulation of water supply using the legs. The reliability of the system is evidenced by the fact that there are completely no mechanical parts. Even children without the supervision of elders can use this device, because it is completely safe.
Scope of application
The trample shower (foot shower) can be used anywhere, because it is easy to carry. It fits compactly into a small bag, and the corrugated hoses are twisted without losing their original shape or bending. On a hike, in the country or in nature, this shower will become convenient means for taking water procedures.
The trample shower can be placed on a regular country shower, in a shower tent, in a stationary cabin, or simply in an open area. The scope of application of the shower-treadmill is quite extensive, because it allows you to take not only water procedures, but also provides the opportunity to water the beds on summer cottage. The peculiarity is that the length of the hose allows you to take water directly from the well, if there is one on the territory of the dacha.
The treadmill shower is also perfect for washing cars and windows. country house, paths and sidewalks of a suburban area, because the process itself is quick and convenient. It can even be used in an apartment when the hot water is turned off. This plumbing product will never lie unused, because it can be useful in many situations.
Operating principle
To understand the principle of operation of a shower-treadmill, you must first understand the structure of the device. The mechanism of this product consists of the following parts:
- rubber mat or rubber pedals;
- valves;
- water intake corrugated hose;
- water receiving corrugated hose;
- shower head.
Corrugated hoses can be replaced with regular tubes, but you should be prepared that you will need to replace them in the near future. They are characterized by a tendency to break where the hose is bent during transportation or use.
On next video you will see the process of assembling a purchased trampoline shower (foot shower).
Preparation for taking a water procedure using a shower-treadmill:
- First you need to hang the hose with the nozzle at a suitable height so that the nozzle is above you.
- Place a rubber mat under your feet.
- One end of the hose should be immersed in a container of warm water, which must first be heated. For the container, you can use a flask, tank, canister, inflatable pool or bucket to hold a large volume of water.
Now you can stand on the mat and stomp your feet to start the water supply mechanism from the tank through the hose with the nozzle. The treadmill shower works on the same principle as a foot pump, which is why it is also called pneumatic.
The peculiarity of using this device is that your hands remain free for washing, and you can turn off the water supply at any time. This product perfectly imitates a full-fledged shower.
Advantages
- Easy to use shower mechanism. You just need to dip the hose into a container of water and with a few steps on a rubber mat the shower system will start - water will flow from the watering can.
- Saving money. The cost of a walk-in shower on the plumbing equipment market averages 1,500 rubles, but building a stationary shower in a country house requires much more cost and time.
- Versatility of the device, because in addition to the direct purpose of taking a shower, you can water the beds, wash the car, or during the period when the hot water supply is turned off, it can be replaced by a full-fledged shower.
- Compact dimensions The soul-stomper lies in its design, which consists of two hoses and a rubber mat.
- Mobility. The shower is easy to assemble and disassemble, allowing it to be transported to any location without hassle.
What does water pressure depend on?
The water pressure in a trample shower depends entirely on the human factor. The rhythm of steps affects the creation of uniform water pressure. If a person stops, the water supply will stop completely.
At first glance, this is not very convenient, but it helps save water consumption. With this device, only 10 liters of water will be enough to thoroughly wash your entire body. Women especially like this mechanism, because simple aerobics while taking a shower helps to keep oneself in good physical shape and also lifts one’s spirits.
Do it yourself
The mechanism of operation of the shower-treadmill is so simple that you can make it yourself.
To do this you need to purchase several items:
- foot pump for cars;
- rubber hose;
- cork made of rubber or wood;
- plastic container with lid;
- shower head;
- tube made of plastic or metal.
The process of making a homemade stomp pump:
- Fill the container with water and place it in the sun to warm up.
- You need to make two holes in the plug with different sizes(the diameter of one hole is 1 cm, the second is 2 cm).
- Insert the tubes into the holes. Through a hole of a larger diameter, the tube should reach the bottom of the container.
- Rubber hoses are placed on the tubes.
- Attach a foot pump to a tube of smaller diameter that will supply air to the container.
- A shower head is attached to a larger diameter hose.
To make showering more comfortable, you can involve another person who will pump air into the system using a car pump, and then switch places.
IN hiking conditions either in country house the presence of a shower is a pressing issue. Often, in order to wash in uncomfortable conditions, you need to find a large container (basin, bucket), then fill it with warm water, and then use a ladle or mug to begin the washing process. This method, although real, creates a lot of problems. Therefore, the best option for a summer house is a do-it-yourself shower, a video about which you can see below.
The peculiarity of this shower is that it is compact, while the water flow is controlled by the foot. Also, the system does not provide for the presence mechanical elements, which indicates its strength. In addition, even the youngest family members can operate this device without the help of elders, since it is absolutely safe.
Hygiene is just as important on the go as it is at home. Sometimes, in order to wash yourself at the dacha, you need to do a lot of inconvenient manipulations (find a container, heat the water, pour it on yourself, etc.), so you can’t dream of evenly distributing the water. But uncomfortable natural conditions can be made more comfortable thanks to portable shower trample.
The trample foot shower is easy to transport, making it convenient to use almost anywhere. It can be placed in a spacious backpack, and the corrugated cable can be easily twisted, thanks to which it folds compactly and does not deform at all. Such a device is best option for hiking and suburban areas, who do not have the special benefits of civilization.
This type of shower is easy to use in the location of a standard country shower and even in a tent, as well as in a cabin or in an open space. Scope of use for this water device quite wide, because it not only performs its original functions, but also with its help you can water flower beds and vegetable gardens in the country. Thanks to the length of the corrugated hose, it is simple and easy to draw water, for example, from a well or borehole, if there are any within the site.
Using a portable shower
A trample shower is also used to wash various objects and surfaces: cars, floor coverings, rugs, asphalt and even windows in the house. It is also convenient to use inside a home where there is no warm water. There will always be a job for this useful plumbing element; it will never gather dust somewhere on the outer shelves of the pantry.
How the device works
To understand the principle of operation of a trample, you first need to understand the features of its structure. The design of the shower consists of several elements:
- watering can (nozzle);
- rubber mat or pedals;
- corrugated hose that does not allow water to pass through;
- valves;
- water intake corrugated tube.
In principle, the corrugation is replaced with standard tubes, but then you should be prepared for the fact that they will need to be changed frequently, since such products often break at the bends during operation.
Portable shower-treadmill
Preparatory process for carrying out water activities using a shower-treadmill
- First, the hose, at the end of which the nozzle is attached, is hung on optimal height so that the watering can is above your head.
- Pedals or a mat are placed under your feet.
- One end of the tube is immersed in a container filled with hot water. Any solid container that holds a large amount of water can be used as a container: buckets, tank, canisters, large pans, etc.
- The person presses the mat with his foot, as a result of which warm water begins to flow from the container, entering the hose with a watering can.
The treadmill shower (see the video of its operation below) operates on a similar principle to a foot pump, which is why it has another name - a pneumatic shower.
The specificity of using this sanitary product is that, if desired, you can stop the water flow, while your hands are not busy, and this is very convenient for washing. Therefore, such a device is an excellent imitation of real shower equipment.
Advantages
- Basic operation of a shower structure. You just need to insert the tube into a container of water, and then take a couple of steps on the mat to start the system.
- Saving. Average price for the design approximately 1500 rubles. Compared to a traditional shower suburban area this will significantly save money and time resources.
- Mobility. The system is simply disassembled and assembled, making it easy to transport to any location.
- Versatility. As mentioned above, in addition to its main function, a trampoline can be used to water beds and also wash large surfaces.
- Compactness. The parameters of the shower lie in its design features, the mechanism consists of a rubberized mat and two tubes.
Water pressure
The shower is a stomp, user reviews confirm this, it absolutely depends on the person. In other words, the formation of a smooth water flow is influenced by the frequency of steps. When the movements stop, the water will stop flowing.
Shower stomp in action
At first, this feature may seem very inconvenient, but as a result, water costs are significantly saved. Thanks to this mechanism, a person needs about 10 liters of water to fully take water procedures. In particular, this design even makes it possible to do a little aerobics while taking a shower, which contributes to good fitness and significantly improves mood.
Portable shower for the dacha “Toptun-mini”
If there is no connection to the pipeline at the place where the plumbing product is used, then Toptun-mini will come to the rescue. It is almost the same as a standard trampoline, but its difference is that the mini models do not have a rubber mat. In the standard version there are 2 cylinders on the mat, which must be constantly pressed to pump water, and in the mini version there is an autonomous cylinder made of medresin. However, such products function in the same way as a classic trampoline.
I would like to note that the cost of a mini shower is almost half that of a standard one. For example, a full-fledged model with a mat costs about 45 USD. e., and mini – about 25 cu. e. The economic factor plays a significant role in choosing a model; for these reasons, before purchasing, it is worth deciding whether it makes sense to pay double the price just for the presence of a rubber mat.
Shower stomp in action
Stomper - optimal solution for conditions where there is no running water, as it is an excellent alternative to a stationary shower. And the ease of use robust design and complete safety of operation makes it possible to use it even for children.
How to make a shower stomp with your own hands
This device is very simple, so you can make it yourself. The following items must be purchased:
- shower head; foot pump for cars;
- a plastic tank with a lid;
- rubber hoses;
- wooden or rubber stopper;
- metal or plastic tube.
Manufacturing stages
- The tank is filled with water and heated under the hot rays of the sun.
- Two holes are made in the cork various sizes(1 and 2 centimeters).
- Tubes are inserted into the holes made in the cork. Through the larger hole (2 cm), the tube should touch the bottom of the tank.
- Rubber hoses are placed over the tubes.
- The foot pump that supplies air to the container is mounted in a smaller tube.
- A shower head is attached to a large hose.
- You can also build a holder for a shower head and other amenities: a wall and a fence.
Area of use of the foot shower
In addition to its main function, the device pumping water from the reservoir is used:
- for watering trees, flower beds and beds;
- for washing paths near the house, cars, windows and other objects;
- for spraying plants (for example, seedlings).
A do-it-yourself trampoline shower (see photo of the assembly on the website) is not intended for use in an apartment if there is no hot water. It is better to leave such work to models (portable shower structure), which can be purchased in a special store.
However, using this device regularly is not always convenient. After all, it cannot be compared with a stationary shower with a tank and a comfortable cubicle, where there is room for bath items and towels. In addition, in bad weather conditions (rain), the water in the container will not heat up to the required temperature; for these reasons, it is better that the summer shower be equipped with an electric heating element. But as a temporary option, a shower stomp is quite appropriate. It can be assembled with your own hands or purchased from assembled version in a store that sells goods for fishing, recreation and gardening.
