This manual contains basic instructions which must be observed during installation and operation of De LUXE solar shower.
Non-compliance may result not only in a health hazard but also a threat to the environment and the equipment itself.
De LUXE garden solar shower is designed only for outdoor showering of people with water. When using it for other purposes or in rebuilding, which
was not authorized by the manufacturer, the manufacturer disclaims all liability for damages and all warranty claims are abolished.
For hygiene reasons drain water from solar shower before or after a long period of disuse. This is done via a drain plug at the bottom of the shower.
If the water in the shower is not replaced regularly, microorganisms can grow causing health problems.
The device must not be used by people who are not familiar with the operation of solar shower in the scope of this manual.
With regard to the temperature of water inside the body of the shower, which may reach 60 to 70°C, it is recommended at fi rst to turn the
valve lever to the right by its defl ection away from the shower body and turn on cold water and only after that mix the water to the desired
temperature by turning the valve lever to the left. This prevents unwanted showering with overheated water!
Assembly instructions:
Place the solar shower in a location with plenty of sunshine and nearby the water system. Mount it perpendicular to the fi rm and level surface,
preferably with dowels onto concrete or ceramic tiles, or with special nails deep into the earth.
Screw the shower head to the valves outlet in the upper front part of the shower column. When mounting the shower head it is necessary to suitably
fi x the valve outlet so that the outlet does not rotate together with the rotation of shower head during assembly. Provide the screw joint of the shower
head with a sealing tape, preferably Tefl on (PTFE), them tighten the head only by hand without tools, so that the shower head is facing down.
There is the screw joint for shower fi ttings (1/2 „) in the lower rear part of the shower column for easy connection to the water mains. Connect to it
the still unactuated external water supply. After connecting the water pipes to the body of the shower, open the water inlet.
Do not remove or modify the standard screw inlet fi ttings on the shower. It should be noted that the connection of inlet fi ttings and shower body
is made of aluminium. Therefore, use a reasonable force when connecting the water mains and hand tighten, whenever appropriate. Use only
standardized, approved and undamaged plumbing mounting hardware for connecting solar shower fi ttings to the water mains or domestic water
supply plant.
After connecting the solar shower to the water supply, fi ll the shower tube with water and make it bleed. Open the water supply valve to the
solar shower and at the same time put the shower to the "open" hot position using the control lever. Leave it fully open until water starts fl owing
continuously from the shower head. Push the control lever to the „closed" position. Solar shower is ready for operation.
Finally, check the leak tightness of fi tting joints.
Before putting into operation, carefully peel off the protective fi lm from the decorative stainless steel housing of the shower!
