Hey guys thought id share my DIY solar shower/water storage build.
So basically used 100mm pvc high pressure pipe. works out that 1m of 100mm pvc equals to 10l.
I used a couple of 90' f/f elbows plus the inspection elbows , 1 bulk head for the tap and a tyre valve to pressurise the system.
Painted in gloss black to heat up in the sun which also suits my roof rack lol, I've used self adhesive rubber to line the pvc where the rack mounts are so no rubbing.
for the kick ass shower awning i had to make up some custom u bolts out of 6mm stainless threaded rod with i lined with heat shrink and then the l bracket is lined with rubber too. mounting wise i have used 8 grunt 600 mm rubber coller straps from bunnings, they sit quite nice and tidy. have used the system a few times now and works really good, to have a nice consistent flow i hook up my air compressor , and i also use the kick ass instant hot water unit which is bloody awesome and heats up in two seconds.
