Full details
The Tectake Solar Shower Ofanto is designed for homeowners and campers looking for an eco-friendly way to enjoy warm outdoor showers in their garden, pool area, or campsite. By harnessing solar energy, this 35-litre unit heats water up to 60 C without the need for electricity, offering a sustainable luxury for your outdoor space. While it provides consistent heating, users should note that the water temperature depends entirely on direct sunlight exposure, meaning it performs best on sunny days and may yield cooler water during overcast weather.

FAQs
Does it need a power connection?
No, the Tectake Ofanto operates entirely on solar power.
Can I adjust the water temperature?
Yes, the integrated single-lever mixer allows you to blend the sun-heated water with cold water for your preferred temperature.
How do I store it in winter?
Drain all water from the tank, disconnect the hose, and cover it with the included protective cover.
Can the foot tap be used independently?
Yes, the foot tap operates as a separate outlet, allowing you to wash your feet or fill a bucket regardless of the main shower head position.
How long does it take to heat up?
Heating time depends on ambient temperature and direct sun exposure, typically taking a few hours to reach optimal temperatures on a bright day.
Troubleshooting
Water is not getting warm
Verify the unit is in a location with unobstructed direct sunlight and that the tank has had sufficient time to heat up.
Low water pressure
Check your garden hose supply for kinks or blockages and ensure the tap is fully opened.
Leaking at the base
Check that all connections are tightly fastened and that the ground anchors are secure to prevent stress on the piping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a level, solid surface such as a patio or a prepared concrete base. The unit comes with ground anchors to ensure stability during use. Before the first use, fill the tank completely with water to ensure it begins the heating process properly.
During the off-season, or when expecting freezing temperatures, it is essential to drain the entire tank to prevent damage from expansion. Use the provided protective cover during winter months to shield the material from harsh elements and UV degradation. Ensure all hose connections are tightened securely to prevent leaks during operation.
