The need for fresh air and silence is characteristic of most residents of megacities. People tend to the country, many move to live outside the city. Of course, one of the main issues is hygiene. But not everyone outside the city has a bath or shower. What to do? A shower for giving with heating will easily solve this problem. Also, heated country showers are suitable for private houses, where there are interruptions in water supply. This problem is not uncommon.
Shower for giving with heating is of two types:
- Homemade. This is a do-it-yourself heated shower, which is a frame - a shower cabin, which you can build yourself from timber, plastic, polycarbonate, brick, corrugated sheets, or simply cover the frame from timber with polyethylene. You also need a hot water tank. It, in turn, can be with or without a ready-made heating element (in this case, metal water barrels are painted black and the water is heated by the sun). You can use Tenami, mounted with your own hands.
- Ready garden shower with heating. This is a cabin that includes a fully equipped wash area and a heated water tank.
How to put a country garden shower with heated water.
The first thing to do is choose a location. A country warm shower is best placed near the fence, this is done to drain water. Wastewater can aesthetically spoil the view of nature, and soapy water harms plants. The place should not be in the valley. Water drainage can be done with a hose, which will need to be stretched into an unused area or a sewer hole made.
In the summer shower, water can be heated without a heating element. It is easy to provide energy from the sun. The barrel or tank should be black, you can also paint them with paint. Black color is more heated by the sun.
There are special black flat plastic containers that replace the roof in a warm summer shower. Due to the fact that they are flat, the water in them warms up faster.
You can purchase a ready-made country summer shower with heating. All you have to do is find the right place. After that, the cabin is installed there. Problem solved.
A warm shower in the country can also be done by inserting a heating element yourself. But if there is little or no experience with electricity, then this is not worth doing. It is better in this case to install a ready-made heated shower, which will be safer and easier.
When choosing a heated shower, you need to consider the number of family members who will use it. You need to do this in order to know which tank is worth buying. Their volume is from thirty to three hundred liters. If the family is large, a large barrel of ready-made equipment is needed, as a solar-heated tank may not warm up enough in the sun for bathing. If the family is small, then you can get by with a small barrel, without special heaters.
It is also necessary to take into account an important point when preference is given to a barrel with a built-in heating element - it must be monitored. As soon as it has warmed up to the desired temperature, it must be turned off. Usually the water heats up in 3-4 hours.

How to choose a heated shower water tank?
Another very important point is the material of the tank. They are of two types:
- metal,
- plastic.
It is better to give preference to plastic, as it is not subject to corrosion, maintenance is not required. Its service life is many years longer than that of metal. The water in it does not bloom, which will not allow bacteria to develop and will not spoil the quality of the water. Hygiene is paramount here. If the tank is metal, then it is better to opt for a stainless steel tank. It has the ability to retain heat for a long time and its service life is quite high.
Water can be drawn in using a pump from a well, a water supply system or street taps, by first attaching a hose to it, and inserting the other end into a hole in the tank.
It is forbidden to connect a cabin with a heating element to the network without poured water. This will lead to overheating and explosion. After that, it cannot be repaired.
Easy to use shower with remote control. With their help, you can set a specific temperature and time. There are also sensors that warn against overheating.
What material to build the frame of a country shower?
If you decide to build a warm shower with your own hands, then you will need certain materials. The tank can be metal or plastic, with or without a ready-made heating element. If the tank is without heating, then it is necessary to purchase a heating element for it. It is also necessary to have a hose for pumping water into the tank.
The cabin itself can be made to your liking from any materials: wood, brick, plastic or it can be a heated polycarbonate shower.
Water tanks come in round and rectangular shapes. Rectangular are very easy to install. You can also make a shower with a dressing room. Do not forget about the stairs, which you will have to climb to lower the hose to fill the water into the tank.
The shower cabin will be the solution to hygiene problems. The time spent outside the city will be pleasant and comfortable for both the owner and his friends.
