VINGLI Solar Heated Shower,2-Section with Shower Head，for Outdoor Backyard Poolside Beach Pool Spa,Black (2.3 Gallon)

Update 7/2024: Going on 3rd summer season. Still works great and no leaks. The shiny chrome metalized plastic has tarnished, but works fine. My usage is summer only. It’s disassembled and stored indoors during winter. Happy with this product for the money. Upgraded to 5 stars.————————————Foremost, it works. This was a simple inexpensive way to add a rinse-off shower at an ocean beach house.Even when not in direct sun, the water will warm to the ambient temperature by early afternoon making for a pleasant non-frigid rinse. At least for now, this thing does what it's supposed to do.The plastic tower/tank is sturdy enough. I chose to bolt it directly into a concrete patio. Still, I'm sure if kids climbed on this, it would break. The fixtures, like the faucet, shower head and shower head pipes are incredibly cheap/flimsy. Very pretty metalized plastic so they look just like real plumbing parts (but they're not). You can easily break these parts assembling them if you're not careful and over tighten. This is where they saved costs. We'll see how these fixtures hold up, but won't be surprised if upgrades are needed in the future. I'm especially wary of the plastic shutoff faucet.Assembly was straightforward, but required a little innovation and mechanical sense. Instructions are merely a guide and did not completely match my hardware. Teflon tape was included to eliminate leaks, but you're supposed to already know how to use this stuff. Make sure to wrap all threads with teflon tape before screwing anything together. You'll have to visit your local plumbing store like Home Depot to purchase proper adapter(s) for connection to any American standard garden hose. And be extra careful when tightening any pipe/fixture threads as you can easily break the el-cheapo plastic pipes and fixtures. Instructions warned not to use tools, but it's ok if you wrap parts with a rag and very carefully snug with hand tools. I don't have any leaks.It's a well engineered product for a very low price point. But, you get what you pay for. It's just a step above "throw away toy" in my opinion.I intend to remove and store indoors for the winter. I'll be thrilled to get more than 2 seasons of use from this and hope to be surprised.Bottom line, it works. If in the sun, you'll have pleasant warm showers.

Love it! Works just like a more expensive shower. Really can control temp. It holds water but it’s the hose running that adds the cold water that mixes with the solar heated hot that allows temp control also what provides water pressure. Keep a hose hooked up but turned off at the faucet when not in use and won’t have any leaking. I live in Texas so I have to turn it on and adjust the temp so my grandkids don’t get scalded. I got a 24x24 concrete slab to bolt onto. Very well made however the handles a cheap so use gently and you won’t have any problem

Saw this advertised and was intrigued. How great would it be to have a solar shower right at the pool. Would the water really heat up. The answer is yes. I’m now able to rinse my hair right out of the pool. Saves so much time having the kids wash their hair outside after swimming. Installation was a breeze. I chose not to bolt it down since sun moves around. Hooked it right up to the main hose. Several friends have also loved and wanted to order but it is out of stock. I live in Florida and Hurricane and tropical storms can be heavy. We make sure to gently lay it down until we can stand it up again. Also handy to wash pets with.

I love this outdoor shower. My kids love it too. First one broke because I didn't anchor ir properly but we enjoyed it so much I had to buy another.

I waited for 30 days after my purchase to provide a more comprehensive review of this product. My purchase was delivered FEDEX 3 days after my order was processed. I do not have Prime membership in Amazon so was happy for the quick delivery. This review is from a Florida resident and I could see where this may not be a practical device to utilize in an environment where it freezes. Seasonally it could be utilized in the northern latitudes but I would definitely winterize this unit if it freezes where I lived. Assembly was a synch and I was able to do it by myself. I did purchase a few pieces of PVC fittings at home depot to make the hose fitting more secure and leakproof. I also purchased four stainless steel bolts to mount this shower to my deck as the materials they provided would rust immediately in my environment. I would also recommend using every bit of Teflon tape you receive on every fitting possible. Use the hose washers and other materials the manufacturer provides. I would also not recommend cranking your hose faucet open all the way when running this shower as you water delivery pressure may exceed the manufacturers recommend pressure for this shower. I find cracking my hose faucet open a half of turn works well. I also do not recommend leaving the shower under pressure when not in use. The shower must be in direct sunlight for it to work as recommended. The more sun during the day, the hotter the water. The colder it is outside the cooler the water. So on a cool day with clouds this shower may not do the trick, but is still better than cold tap water. This is the exception however, because on the majority of days I have utilized this shower I have received results of over 100 degree water. A nice warm shower would be about 95 degrees and I have been able to achieve water temperatures on most days at 105 degrees. This allows one to enjoy a 95 degree shower for 5 to 7 minutes which is plenty of time for a quick rinse off after yard work of a swim at the beach. Hope your results are as good as mine!
