Product Information
Full details
The tectake Solar Shower Ofanto is the ideal solution for garden enthusiasts and poolside owners looking for a sustainable way to rinse off outdoors without relying on electricity. By harnessing solar energy, it provides a 35-litre capacity of heated water, reaching temperatures up to 60 Celsius, which ensures a comfortable experience even on cooler days. While it offers excellent functionality, users should note that the water temperature depends entirely on sunlight exposure and the duration of heating, making it less effective during extended overcast weather.

FAQs
Does this shower require an electrical outlet?
No, the Ofanto shower is entirely solar-powered and operates using your existing garden hose water pressure.
Can the water get too hot?
Yes, water can reach up to 60 Celsius in strong sun. Always test the water with your hand before stepping under the shower head.
Is the shower head adjustable?
Yes, it features a 360-degree swivel rain shower head that can be tilted to your preferred angle.
Can I leave it outside in the winter?
No, you should drain the tank completely and store the unit in a frost-free area during winter to prevent the tank from cracking.
How do I connect it to my garden hose?
The base includes a standard garden hose connection fitting that attaches to most common garden hose couplings.
What is the shelf used for?
The shelf is designed to hold your personal shower items like soap, shampoo, or sponges while you use the shower.
Troubleshooting
Water is not reaching high temperatures
Ensure the unit is placed in direct, unobstructed sunlight and allow at least 2-4 hours for the water to heat up.
Low water pressure
Check that the input garden hose is not kinked and that the water supply pressure is sufficient.
Water leaking from the base
Verify that all hose connections are tightened correctly and that the O-ring seals are intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a stable, level surface, such as a concrete patio or a reinforced wooden deck, to support the weight of the water-filled tank. The unit connects directly to a standard garden hose using a common coupling. For care, ensure the shower is mounted securely using the included mounting hardware to prevent tipping. During the off-season, it is crucial to drain the tank completely to prevent damage from freezing water. Always use the included weather cover when the unit is not in use for extended periods to maintain the finish and prevent debris from entering the shower head.
