First Aid & Hygiene

Solar Shower Bag, 20 L

A foldable sun-warmed shower bag for washing when the boiler or water is off
£8.99 + £13.15 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 12-25 working days. Tracked.

A 20 litre PVC bag with hose and shower head that can be filled with water and left in the sun to warm, then hung up for a basic shower. The listing quotes 45 degrees C after about three hours in good sun with a thermometer on the bag, though UK sunshine will rarely manage that.

It is a camping and short-term back-up solution. Check water temperature before use, as it can get hot in strong sun.

Key features

  • 20 L capacity
  • Hose and shower head included
  • Thermometer on the bag
  • Folds to about 12 x 32 cm
  • Hang from a branch or hook
  • Storage bag included

How to use it

Fill the bag with water, leave it in the sun to warm, then hang it up and use the hose and shower head for a basic wash.

  1. Fill the 20 litre bag with clean water, leaving a little room so it is easier to handle.
  2. Lay it in direct sunshine for a few hours and read the thermometer on the bag.
  3. Check the water temperature by hand before using it, as it can get hot in strong sun.
  4. Hang it from a strong branch or hook above head height.
  5. Open the shower head, wet yourself, switch off, soap up, then rinse.
  6. Empty the bag, let it dry fully and fold it into its storage bag.
Tips
  • The listing quotes 45 degrees C after about three hours in good sun, but UK sunshine rarely manages that.
  • Put a little cold water in as well if it is too hot.
Safety and limits
  • A full 20 litre bag is heavy. Hang it from something that will definitely take the weight.
  • Always test the temperature first, as water can become hot enough to scald.
  • Supervise children and watch for wet, slippery ground.
Please note
  • Check water temperature before use; it can become hot.
  • Not suitable for drinking-water storage unless confirmed food-grade.
