Abstract
A reservoir for storing and solar-heating water, a shower head, and means in fluid communication between said reservoir and said shower head for adjusting a temperature of water leaving said shower head. The shower preferably includes a source of temperature-blending water, such as a hose, for pressurizing the reservoir. The reservoir preferably comprising a one-piece, unitary sphere.
Claims18
A solar shower comprising:
- a reservoir for solar-heating and storing water said reservoir serving as base to provide stability to the shower;
- a first conduit having a first end mounted in fluid communication with said reservoir,
- a first valve mounted within said first conduit for controlling a rate of flow of solar-heated water through said first conduit;
- a second conduit having a first end mounted in fluid communication with said reservoir, said first and second conduits detachably mounted to said reservoir for relatively quick and easy removal to transport the shower, said first and second conduits extending upwardly out of said reservoir;
- a second valve mounted within said second conduit for controlling a rate of flow of temperature-blending water through said second conduit;
- a shower head mounted in fluid communication with second ends of said solar-heated and temperature-blending water conduits for mixing the solar-heated and temperature-blending water into shower water;
- and
- said first and second valves permitting adjustment of a temperature of the shower water mixed at said shower head.
