Solar Shower
Ran across this product post on GroovyGreen. Unfortunately, it has given me an idea for yet another project. Why buy one of these when I can make one myself. I have a fairly high roof over my back deck. I figure I can string up some containers for water and let them heat in the sun all day, then voila! Hot showers for the whole family. Or at the very least hot outdoor baths for Maxie. Fun!
First up is a “Professional Solar Garden Shower System” called the Solar Fizz. This portable showering unit uses reflector tubes to capture solar energy and heat water to 70 degrees Celsius. Each tube can hold 15 liters — with a complete system capable of providing hot water for an entire family. Each of the units displayed on the website is claimed to be portable; but even the 15 liter version might be a little unwieldy if you plan on roughing it somewhere. The only problem is that the technology is limited to a few countries in Europe and Asia. They’re looking for distributors in North America; no any of you eco-entrepreneurs out there — have a look! Outdoor showers are the bomb-diggity — especially pollution-free, hot showers.
