General information

Previously, the shower in the country, as a rule, was a booth, made and scrap materials, with a tank located on the roof. The water in the tank was heated naturally, i.e. due to solar heat.

Of course, such a shower is still better than washing in a bucket, however, it cannot be called comfortable for several reasons. Therefore, in recent years, ready-made booths equipped with a tank with a heating element (heating elements) have become popular. Besides the fact that they provide comfortable reception of water procedures, they also look quite attractive on the site.

In addition, these products have other advantages:

Garden showers with heated water are easy to install, and the assembly requires significantly less time than building an independent shower.
The equipment is quite durable.
If necessary, the cabin can be moved from place to place or even transported in the event of a move.
The price is quite affordable, especially for models from domestic manufacturers.
Easy operation.

For convenience and comfort of operation, such structures are much closer to the showers for an apartment than summer showers with natural heating.

Types of shower cabins with heated water

Summer showers for giving heated there are different types.

Below we take a look at their main differences and peculiarities:

Differences	Kinds
By picking	Depending on the configuration, finished products can be divided into two types: Heated tank, shower head and necessary fittings to connect it. Buying a shower in this configuration, you will have to make a cabin with your own hands. Products, which, in addition to all the above elements, are included in the kit itself.
Heating method	Depending on the method of heating water, designs are divided into the following types: Electric heaters - the design is a tube inside which is located a spiral. As a result of the passage of electric current through the spiral, it is heated and transfers its heat to the tube. The disadvantage of this design is that it is volatile, and consumes quite a lot of electricity. Titan on the wood - in fact, titanium is a large samovar - a tank is installed on the fire chamber of the structure through which the fire tube passes. Solar collector - the principle of operation of such a heater is quite simple: Cold water is supplied to the solar collector; After heating, hot water enters the storage tank; From the tank water is consumed as needed, while the vacated space is filled with hot water from the collector. The advantage of this design is non-volatility. Water heater based on a blowtorch - this heating option is usually used in showers made by private craftsmen. The principle of such a system is quite simple - a blowtorch heats the heat exchanger through which water from the tank enters the shower head or mixer.
Material	According to the type of material, garden shower cabins are divided into: Plastic - are a panel construction that is easy to assemble. I must say that many gardeners doubt the reliability of such products, however, a plastic shower for giving heated water can last up to 30 years. Metal - are a frame collapsible design, which is covered with an awning or sheathed with polycarbonate or other sheet material. These booths are less durable, however, and they cost a bit cheaper. Wood - exist in different versions. As a rule, such cabins are made by hand by private craftsmen. The disadvantage of wooden structures is that they need periodic maintenance.
Tank capacity	As a rule, shower cabins are completed with tanks with a capacity from 100 to 300 liters. The power of the heating heating element depends on their volume.

What to look for when choosing

Choosing a shower cabin, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Capacity - depends on the number of people living in the country. If the family is large, then the capacity of the shower tank should be at least 250-300 l.
Method of heating water - is selected depending on the availability of energy. For example, if there is a forest nearby, then it makes sense to purchase a shower stall with titanium on the wood.

Convenience - The size should be sufficient for a comfortable swim.
Environmental friendliness - all materials from which the construction is made must be safe for humans.
Design - must fit harmoniously into the surrounding exterior. For example, if the cottage is framed in a rustic style, then a plastic cabin is unlikely to look beautiful on the site.
Easy installation - detailed information on the assembly of the product contains the instruction, which is attached in the kit. Therefore, before buying it must be familiar.
Options - It should be borne in mind that the additional functions, although they make the booth more convenient and functional, they affect the cost of the product.

Note! The shower should have mesh elements or a window for airing and fresh air intake, which will prevent the formation of mold.
