Such products are simple and fairly high reliability, so they will become your reliable companions over the years. The folded design takes up little space, which is also a great advantage when traveling.
- A great option for giving is a design that works from a fixed network, its principle of operation is similar to that described above with the only difference, then compliance with safety standards is much more important - 220 volts is life threatening. The construction work is simple: the intake hose is placed in the tank, and you can use the system as a shower, and as a system for watering the garden, and as an option for washing the car.
- The most interesting option is a heated system, because it can practically replace a full-fledged shower, it is very compact and weighs only 2.5 kg, while it is very easy to use: the water intake system is placed in a container, the device turns on in the network and after a few seconds use.
