Like a dream! I've used a solar shower for a number of years. One pack full will wash, including hair wash, me plus 2 children. You need to hold them up high, to get the shower effect, and when full of water it's heavy, so the top of a car or van is both good height, strong enough to hold it and usually a good place to let it absorb sub and warm up the water. If you can find some insulating material - say the polystyrene pads that new fridges come in, to sit the pack on and cover it over with, your shower will retain some heat when the outside temperature has dropped. Rolls up to nothing when empty - great camping gear.

Scott asked this question on 26th May 2008
Q: How long is the hose?
Is there a safety feature? could the water overheat or would it be safe? Is there a mechanism which prevents the water from getting too hot?
A: The hose is approx 67cm long.
The product instructions advise that the solar shower is capable of attain temperatures of 48 C - so it always best to test water before using and add cold water if required. John.

lesley asked this question on 5th Jul 2008
Q: considering the summers we have here in Britain,I was just wondering -what if its not sunny? will it still heat up if you put it out in daylight?
A: The intensity of sunlight is a key factor in the performance of this product - the temperature will rise if well sited in light (e.g. avoiding shade and on a heat absorbent -dark coloured -surface) but results will be better on a sunny day.

Q: How do we fill the unit?
Can the hose be lengthened?
A: The unit is filled by a plugged opening at the top of the shower. Simply remove the plug, fill with water, and then re-plug the hole.
The hose is not designed to be lengthened, but this may be possible.
