Water supply

If for any reason you find yourself outside the places where you can take a shower, you can get out of the situation by using handy objects, the simplest of which is a plastic bottle. With its help, you can make a marching version of the design, with no special elements required, which is also a plus.

In the photo: many make a shower from the bottle to the country with their own hands in this way - they simply hang the container on the wall and, if necessary, open the lid

Advantages of this option

The main advantages of this solution are the following factors:

Simplicity	In order to make an improvised shower, you do not need the presence of any special units, since plastic bottles are always on hand. Systems are so unpretentious that it is almost impossible to come up with a simpler version.
Time saving	You can take a shower in a few minutes, everything is very easy and fast. This is very important if the time for hygienic procedures is limited and there is no time to make more solid and complex structures.
Budget	The price of the project is minimal, since everything that is required is already at hand. Sometimes, to get a better option, additional elements are required, but their cost is also low.
Efficiency	Water is consumed sparingly, and a person with a two-liter bottle can wash a person, which is also very important if you have to heat the liquid in the pot, and its volume is limited.

Note! If you have nothing to heat the water, then we will tell you a simple solution - you can put a full bottle in the fire, the fire should be low so that the cork does not burn. A bottle filled with water does not burn through, and the heating takes place in a matter of minutes, the main thing is not to overheat it.

On the coals the water heats up very quickly

How to make a design

Consider how to make a shower from a plastic bottle, there are two options that we will explore in this review. One more simple, and the second - more convenient and economical. You can decide for yourself which solution is best for you.

Simple option

Everything is clear here:

Bottle required, the greater the capacity, the greater the supply of water. As practice shows, the minimum acceptable option is one and a half liters, although now it is most often used five-liter bottles of drinking water, they allow you to shower two or even more people.
You can do in two ways, consider the first: a part of the bottom is cut, and holes are made in the construction, to let the twine through them for hanging the structure at a comfortable height for you. It is important that the system retains its strength, for this you can wind the rope and the bottle itself for support.
As for the traffic jam, it makes a very simple and convenient rain.. Naturally, if you make holes in the middle, the water will constantly pour out through them, so a more thoughtful solution was invented: the holes are made around the circumference of the side face 2-3 millimeters above the bottom. The figure shows how this is done, everything is very simple and fast, you can use an awl or a not very thin nail, preheated on the fire.

A very interesting and practical option for an impromptu soul

In extreme cases, you can wash, just opening the cork, it also allows you to take a shower, though not as comfortable as in the above case.

Tip! If you decide to build such a shower structure in the country, then we advise you to dial in the water tank in advance and leave it in the sun. In just a couple of hours, the temperature will rise to a comfortable level, and you will be able to wash yourself with warm water.

You can even make a few nozzles, which will ensure the versatility of the system - and the ability to take a shower, and the ability to wash hands, as well as vegetables with fruits, can also make holders for toothbrushes and toothpastes as shown in the figure below.

Very interesting and versatile solution - a multifunctional and convenient shower made of plastic bottles with your own hands.

More functional solution

Now consider how to make another option that looks more like a shower and allows you to save water.

Instructions for the following:

You will need a bottle, according to capacity, as in the above described method., the bigger, the better. You can cut a part of the bottom, and you can remove the bottle and fill it, it all depends on which option is more convenient for you, besides, if you are traveling, then the whole container will be much preferable - it is easier to transport and store, because water will not spill.
For this option, you must purchase a regular dropper., its cost is low and you can find it at any pharmacy, this particular node will become the main one in the whole system. With the tube removed all the elements, leaving only a hard tip on the end and the system overlapping tube.
A neat hole is made in the stopper, the diameter of which should be about 1 millimeter smaller than the tube itself.. Next, the tube is inserted and with a rigid tip is clearly fixed and not bent, which prevents leakage in the process of using the system in the future.
Next, the cork is wrapped and the design is ready for use.: just hang it at a convenient height with a stopper to the bottom and, when necessary, open the stopper. This option is not only very convenient, but also allows for a very rational expenditure of hearth - two liters is enough to wash twice, which you will agree is very economical.

This is how the assembled system looks - everything is very simple and at the same time reliable and rational, the small diameter of the tube ensures a small flow of fluid during use.
