Pioneer Solar Shower Review

This cheap, no-frills solar shower is about as functional as you can get. At it's core, it's a black water bag with a shower hose and nozzle attached to it. The idea is you

As the name suggests, this shower harnesses solar energy in the simplest way possible. After filling it with 20L of water, leave it under direct sunlight. The black plastic construction will slowly warm up the water by absorbing the sun rays.

On the top part of the shower lies a large mouth that allows for easy filling. On the bottom part, you’ll find a hose that’s about 70 cm long, which should be long enough for most people. You’ll also find a pull/push nozzle at the end of this hose to quickly adjust the water flow.

On the lower left side, OZtrail places a small hook on which you can hang the hose when not in use. This is a simple yet extremely helpful feature because the dangling hose can be quite annoying.

To enjoy the best water pressure, you should hang this shower on a tree branch or place it on top of your RV. Bear in mind that it’ll be quite heavy to lift when full (about 20 kg), so you might need a friend to help you.
