Operating Instructions

Using your Goplus Solar Heated Outdoor Shower is simple:

1. Solar Heating: The black column absorbs solar energy, heating the water inside. On a sunny day, water temperature can reach up to 140°F (60°C). The heating time will vary depending on sunlight intensity and ambient temperature.

2. Adjusting Water Temperature: Use the hot/cold mixer faucet to achieve your desired water temperature. Turn the handle towards 'Hot' for warmer water and 'Cold' for cooler water. Always test the water before stepping under the shower.
3. Using the Shower Head: The shower head features a 360° swivel design, allowing you to adjust the spray direction for maximum comfort.
4. Using the Foot Shower: The dedicated foot shower spigot is ideal for rinsing feet, washing off sand, or bathing pets without needing to use the main shower head.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shower regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Winterization: Before the first frost, completely drain all water from the shower to prevent freezing and potential damage to the internal components and pipes. Disconnect the garden hose and open all faucets (shower head and foot shower) to allow water to escape. Store in a sheltered area if possible.
• Leak Checks: Periodically inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten any loose fittings as needed.
