Notes:
●
If
the
water
does becomes
too
dirty
or
soapy,
it
can
be
drained
and replaced, mid-shower,
to rinse and
continue
showering. It is recommended to run fresh,
non-soapy water, through the pump after each
shower to avoid shortening the life of the pump.
●
When
recycling
the
water
in
communal
situation,
dilute
some
antiseptic
in
about
one
litre
of
water
and
run
it
through
the
shower
system
as
a
hygiene
precaution.
A
vinegar
solution
can
also
be
periodically
pumped
through
the
system
to
help
keep
the
inside
of
the
hoses
and
shower
head
clean.
●
Warning:
Do
not
drink
recycled
water.
Use without the roof
The
roof
can
be
partially
or
fully
removed,
depending
on
ventilation
and
privacy
requirements.
Use without the frame
When
overhead
points
of
attachment
are
available
the
EverShower
can
be
erected
without
the
frame.
Four
adjustable
straps
with
hooks
are
included
for
this
purpose,
and
internal
loops
can
be
used
(roof
off)
at
varying
heights,
for
situations
involving
low
clearance.
External
attachment
points
can
be
used
if
you
prefer
to
keep
the
roof
on.
Windy conditions
It
is
recommended
not
to
use
the
EverShower
in
extremely
windy
conditions.
In
mild
conditions
the
four
D-rings
on
the
side
of
the
tub
may
be
pegged
to
prevent
the
shower
from
blowing
over
when
empty.
In
stronger
winds
the
tent
can
be
secured
via
the
guy
ropes
and
pegs
provided.
These
can
be
attached
to
the
tent
frame
elbow
joints.
They
can
be
pegged
into
the
ground
or
tied
to
a
nearby,
immovable
object.
In
some
cases,
just
one
or
two
guy-ropes,
in
the
direction
of
the
wind,
might
be
all
that
is
needed.
When
not
in
use
EverShower
can
be
put
into
a
standby
mode,
by
dropping
the
tent
screen
into
the
tub
and
securing
the
cover.
To
protect
the
EverShower
from
the
elements,
in
between
showering,
it
is
possible
to
unclip
the
tent
from
the
frame,
keeping
the
Velcro
adjuster
straps
in
place,
drop
the
tent
into
the
tub
and
secure
the
cover
leaving
the
frame
in
place.
Water heating
There
a
several
ways
of
showering
in
hot
water:
●
Solar
:
Empty
the
tub.
Close
the
drain.
Pour
the
desired
quantity
of
water
into
the
tub.
Close
the
lid
and
place
EverShower
in
the
sun.
Recycle
the
water.
Check
that
the
water is
not
too
hot
before
stepping
into
the
tub.
●
Stove
(campfire):
As
above.
Check
that
the
water
is
not
too
hot
before
stepping
into
the
tub. If too hot
just let it cycle a few times to cool.
●
Gas/propane
water
heater
:
This
is
the
best
option
for
continuous
hot
water.
These
systems
generally
come
with
their
own
water
pump
and
shower
hose
system,
which
are
compatible
with
the
EverShower.
WARNING!
Be
sure
to
follow
the
water
heater
manufacture’s
operating
instructions
carefully.
Recycling
heated
water
might
cause
the
water
temperature
to
rise
over
time.
If
the
water
becomes
uncomfortably
hot
turn
off
the
gas/propane,
but
keep
the
pump
running
to
continue
showering.
Use
with
the Smarttek
water
heater
(also
good
with
many other
portable
water
heaters).
Please
read
carefully
the
Smarttek
operation
manual.
Both
your
EverShower
and
your
Smarttek
water
heater
come
with
their
own
12v
water
pumps
and
shower
heads.
Only
one
of
each
is
required
to
pair
the
two
systems.
Included with your EverShower/Smartek bundle is a water
pick-up adaptor.
When using the 6L/min Smarttek water pump, this adaptor
will allow for a neat connection between the pump and the
EverShower tub. The filter unit can be secured neatly into
the EverShower pump cradle as shown here…
Water from the tub will simply be drawn from the tub to the
shower rose via the water heater and back again.
Heated water will come out the heater’s outlet port. The
Smarttek shower
hose connects to this outlet port and back
into the EverShower (either via a gap in the roof zip or back
under the tent screen).
We recommend rinsing the water filter after each use.
