Hey I saw your shower and the upgraded version. I have the answer to your 'too hot' problem. install a thermostatic mixing valve. You will extend your hot water supply, have a exact temperature for the whole length, and all in a single ball valve.

@dmonkfunk I would need a cold water stream going in then. I think. This shower simply gravity feeds from the top via a hose piece.

alrighty, it says solar shower. But i did not see where the sun came into play to heat your water. Maybe you forgot to add it to the video, ty.

[msakowski]

@KingRyltar The sun shines through the top and heats a black bag full of water. It can be seen in the page showing the plans.

man it sounds like this guy lives in some sort of bird sanctuary or something! all sorts of animals can be heard in the background...

[msakowski]

@ppl00125 Yeah, there are enough birds around in the summer! They wake me up at 4AM if I leave the window open and don't have some loud fan going.

You can coil the hose through a big compost pile and get hot water for dayz....

very cool, but i wouldn't recommend it for northern climates. I'm from minnesota, and i can gaurantee tht iw won't work during the winter.  water would freeze in the heating tube, and there's the slight matter of being nude, outside, at 20 below zero.

@CmdrSoCal : Thanks, will do.

[CmdrSoCal]

@CommentsSurvey there are videos on my channel on fluoride and pharma. or search the natural news website. the videos explain it better than i can in these responses.

[CommentsSurvey]

@CmdrSoCal : thanks for your response. Are you talking about "tap water?" What does "eugenics" have to do with flouride or chlorine in our water?

[CmdrSoCal]

@CommentsSurvey tap is hardcore eugenics poison. when you take a shower you are in a chlorine gas (ww1 chemical weapon) chamber. fluoride is a powerful poison that goes back to the nazis. for more info watch the videos on my you tube channel or go to prison planet . com or natural news . com.

Beautiful music by Kevin MacLeoud, great idea for a simple shower. Thanks for posting the free plans. Going there now!

@CmdrSoCal : What do you mean "tap is poison?" Are you referring to tap water being poison, or what?

[CmdrSoCal]

where is the water filter? try pacific sands hose filter. tap is poison.

[dmonkfunk]

@msakowski You would, and you have to adapt from hose thread to copper, and do a little soldering. It's well worth the extra dough. 'Bout a hundred bucks should do it. It was the most expensive piece of my installation. Don't let it freeze though. I busted mine stupidly by not draining the system in time for the first frost.
