User Manual for Steinbach Skyfall Solar Shower

Quick guide from the manual

This solar shower is designed for outdoor use. It features a 40-liter tank that heats water using solar energy. The shower must be securely anchored to a stable, level, and slip-proof surface (concrete or wood) before use. If temperatures drop below 10°C, the tank must be drained and the shower stored in a frost-free location.

Installation

Assembling the solar shower:

• Place sealing rings into the top opening of the tank.
• Use the provided Allen wrench and screws to attach the shower head to the tank.
• Screw the hose adapter onto the hose connection.
• Attach the O-ring to the drain cap and screw it into the tank.
• Screw the handheld shower mount into the tank.
• Attach the hose to the handheld shower mount and the handheld shower itself.

Setting up: Position the shower at the prepared location. A second person should hold the shower steady while you bolt the base to the floor using appropriate mounting materials (not included).

Filling the tank

1. Connect a garden hose to the hose adapter and the water supply faucet.
2. Turn on the water supply. Turn the shower faucet to the 'hot' position and open it to allow the tank to fill (takes approx. 3 minutes).
3. Once water flows consistently from the shower head, close the shower faucet.
4. Turn off the water supply faucet.

Operation

To use the shower, connect the garden hose, turn on the water supply, and use the control dial to select the desired setting (Rain shower, Handheld shower, or Waterfall). Adjust the temperature using the main faucet. Note that water may drip from the shower head even when the faucet is closed; this is normal due to thermal expansion in the unpressurized tank.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Clean the product only with standard bathroom cleaner, clear water, and a lint-free cloth. Before long periods of non-use, drain the tank to prevent bacterial growth. To drain, disconnect the water supply, open the faucet, and remove the drain cap.

Troubleshooting

If water leaks from screw connections, wrap the thread with Teflon tape. If no water flows, check the supply hose for blockages. If the water is not hot, ensure the shower is placed in a sunny location. If the water smells or is discolored, drain and refill the tank.
