It is unlikely that you will surprise anyone with a shower at their summer cottage, but often the system has the most primitive design: there is a tank on the cab roof, water is poured manually and heated by the sun, and on cloudy days it is completely cold. If you use a heated shower with a pump for the garden, then it will be almost no way inferior to urban options.
If the question of choosing the design and method of heating water is given a lot of attention, then it is more and more difficult with pumps, so this review will help you understand the types of structures and features of each of them.

Types of equipment
As noted above, the pump to supply water to the shower can have a very different design, we consider the most common and popular options.
Compact shower pump
The most budget and simple solution that has the following features:
- This is a submersible design that can be placed in any water tank and plugged into the network to get started..
- Device dimensions are usually small., which simplifies their transportation and transportation.
- The structure consists directly of a pumping unit placed in water and a hose, at the end of which a shower head is located. Usually the length of the hose is 3-4 meters, which is enough for comfortable use.
- The main condition - the availability of electricity, as this option of food uses the considered type of the equipment.
Tip! If there is a problem with electricity or there is too high humidity in the room, you can use more safe modifications that operate at 12 volts, they can operate both from the mains through the adapter and from the battery.
- The devices can be used for other purposes: watering the garden, washing vehicles etc. In addition, you can unscrew the watering can and use the equipment as a transfer pump.
Submersible pump
Regarding the submersible models can say the following:
- They are ideal for dachas, on the territory of which there is a well, you just have to lower the pump into the water, fix it on a solid, moisture resistant rope - and it is ready to go.
- If necessary, the system is easily removed, for example, in winter, when no one uses water.
- Such equipment can provide all your water needs, as for the shower, you will need to install a shower container, preferably a fairly large capacity.
Surface system
- The system is designed for pumping water into a tank or system from a depth of up to 7 meters. That is, this is also an option for a well, but it is located not in the water, but on the surface or even in an extension.
- The design is characterized by high power and performance, but its work is accompanied by a very high noise level.
- Such a pump for a summer shower in the country can both pump water into the tank and maintain constant pressure in the system, but for this you need to make a full-fledged water supply system at the summer cottage.
- This option is demanding on the quality of the water, so a pre-filter is attached to the water intake hose without fail to prevent sand from entering the system. For use in food purposes it is necessary to additionally put a fine filter on the input to the house, this will ensure high quality water.
