A Shower for a Modern Home

The WMK A-16 Shower Enclosure Unit is a fully-loaded steam shower enclosure with a built-in steam generator, hydrotherapy foot massager, radio/stereo inputs and much more for your therapeutic experience. As you can see this Shower Enclosure Unit can replace a bathroom, looks very cool, and is equiped with a lot of stuff that can relax you completely. For this luxury shower you have to pay $11,999.99.

Why a Solar Shower?

Simple! No one wants to take a cold water shower. Outdoor solar showers get lots of use. Imagine, getting the kids and adults to take a quick shower before entering the Pool or Hot Tub. Maintenance would be drastically reduced. No more lotions, cosmetics, sand, dirt, grass and other contaminants being introduced to the water by bathers. Plus, after getting out of the Pool or Hot Tub you can wash away any chemical residues that may irritate your skin, eyes, or hair. This is a great item for gardeners or for anyone wishing to just take an outdoor shower with water heated by the sun. You don't need a pool or hot-tub to fully enjoy it. The Jacques Giordano Solar Showers were designed in Europe and feature a patented "Soltub" collector. This is the major advantage. It is a solar collector and a hot water storage unit.

With the Giordano Solar Shower you can "stay clean and go green". All Giordano Solar Showers with the patented "Soltub" component produce about 40 KWh per season at no energy cost to you. Many of our customers use the solar shower as their primary shower to save even more on gas, oil, or electricity.

How Hot and for How Long? A very good question. First, let me tell you a little more about the patented "Soltub" collector. It is made from black polyester materials with an "EPDM" jacket. It looks and feels like a larger diameter hose that you would see on a fire truck. Tough stuff to be sure. The "soltub" has a 5.5 gallon capacity (20 liters) of hot water (renewable throughout the day). The water temperature inside the collector tube reaches about 130 F within a few hours after hookup, depending on how shower is positioned towards the sun and where you are located. Cold water is introduced into the bottom of the shower via a standard garden hose or other cold water source. Cold and Hot water mixing taps lets you adjust the water temperature to that "just right" setting. With a fully heated 5.5 gallon "Soltub" collector there is enough hot water to last about 10-12 minutes. That's enough time for many people to leisurely shower. Plus, as soon as the shower is over, new water entering the tube is heated. If more hot water is needed, it's easy to simply add more solar tubes. Additional solar tubes can be daisy-chained together, increasing the Solar Shower's total hot water capacity to more than 60 gallons.

We also offer what is called a "pressure" SolTub that can be purchased for an add-on to non Jacques Giordano solar showers to add more capacity, or even to a home made shower system you would like to convert to a solar shower. You MUST use the Pressure SolTub in these applications because of pressure build-up. Along with the Pressure SolTub you will need our accessory kit that includes a pressure reducer, a manual valve with gauge, and M/F and F/M reducer fittings. You can see the SolTub(s) and the accessories on the "shower accessory" page.

Great Quality and An Economical Solution: Jacques Giordano is known for quality. There are thousands of Giordano showers in use today. We offer 3 articulated "angled" Giordano solar showers. The original shower is a cream colored steel model. It is double plated, galvanized, and lacquered for a long-lasting lustrous finish. A brushed stainless steel model was introduced in 2005. For 2008 we offer a new "teak wood" model with a platform base. No other traditional shower installation will give you the same benefit or enjoyment at such a modest price, thus proving that a good application of solar energy is a truly original and economical solution, as well as being clean for the environment. The Solar Shower is as friendly to the environment as it is to your wallet.

Easy to Install

We deliver the Giordano solar shower to you essentially fully assembled. It will take only a few minutes to set it up. We even have an optional aluminum "jig template" if you are pouring a patio or pad. This also works great if you are installing the shower on a wood deck. Simply drill the 4 holes for the shower base holder, position the template through from under the deck and attach the shower to the 4 threaded studs. No special skill is required to install this shower. There are only 4 screws, 4 nuts, and 4 washers on the non-teak models. Showers can be portable as well. You may wish to take the shower with you for camping or other outdoor ventures. Many customers simply bolt it down to a deck or patio. You may wish to install underground plumbing to the unit as a more permanent installation. If you are halfway handy this is a no brainer to do or any plumber can accomplish this very easily and inexpensively.

Optional Aluminum Template Mounting Jig: To facilitate your installation of the Solar Shower you may wish to purchase this product. I have it made at a machine shop out of heavy aluminum flat stock. It is precisely manufactured to fit these showers. You don't need this if you are planning on bolting the shower to a wood deck or if you simply wish to drill into the patio and secure with lags or epoxy. This can be easily accomplished. However, if you are planning on pouring a cement patio or mounting slab, you can use this item. Simply place it in the wet cement with the 4 threaded bolts exposed. After the cement or slab hardens ( a day or so), mount the shower base to it and secure.

Do Portable Solar Showers Really Work
By Michael A Wilson Platinum Quality Author - Ezinearticles

Portable solar showers are plastic bags that you fill with water and leave them in the sun to heat. After a while you have warm water that you can take a shower with using the built in shower nozzle.

These showers are sold as an outdoor and camping item but they can also be for home use. I tried one of these last summer and it worked so well that I started using it at home instead of the regular shower. Home water heaters are one of the biggest energy hogs in a home and with a solar bag shower that I bought for less than $20 I eliminated that bill as far as showers go.

Solar bag showers are made of tough plastic that is clear on one side and dark on the other. You fill it with water and lay it out in the sun with the clear side facing up. On a warm sunny day after 2 or 3 hours it's warm enough to take a shower. In some cases it may even be too hot and you will have to add some cold water.

Once it is hot you hang it above head level and turn on the valve. You can do this outdoors or bring it inside and use it in your home or RV shower if you install a hanger or shelf to put it on. I found the 5 gallon solar shower to be plenty for one person to take a fairly long shower.

A solar shower bag is not for cold weather. Unless the weather is warm and sunny the water will not get warm enough. I have an outdoor shower set up and if the weather is above 70 degrees I can just leave the bag hanging in the shower position and it gets plenty hot. If it's only in the 60's I have to set it down flat so it will be exposed to maximum sun.

If you enjoy camping or if you want to switch your showers to solar power during the warm months of the year a solar bag shower is an excellent low cost solution.
