FAQs
How long does it take to heat the water?
Heating time varies based on ambient air temperature and intensity of sunlight, typically requiring several hours for maximum effect.
Can I use this for drinking water?
No, these bags are designed strictly for showering and are not intended for potable water storage.
What is the maximum water temperature?
The bags can reach temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius in optimal sunlight conditions.
Are these shower bags heavy?
When full, 5 gallons of water weigh approximately 40 pounds, so ensure your hanging point is robust enough to support this weight.
How do I hang the bag?
Use the included rope and support bar to hang the bag from a high, secure object like a tree limb or shower stand.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the bag is constructed from durable, rot-resistant, and watertight material to prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
Water is not getting warm enough
Ensure the bag is placed in direct, unobstructed sunlight and that the black side of the bag is facing up.
Leakage at the hose connection
Check that the connection point is securely tightened and the rubber washer is correctly seated.
Shower head valve is stuck
Gently rinse the valve mechanism with clean water to remove any debris or mineral buildup that might be obstructing the on/off movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your TRIXES shower, slide the support bar through the top flaps and attach the hanging rope to the provided hooks. Connect the flexible tube to the base outlet, ensuring the seal is tight. When not in use, drain all remaining water and allow the bag to air dry completely in the shade before folding it to prevent internal moisture buildup. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the material. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents; a simple rinse with mild soap and water is sufficient for maintenance.
