Nice product. Bought this for outdoor solar shower at home. Ill give it a B+, because although it works well enough, you can tell the designer never actually used it. Does it get the job done/ Yes. I find it actually has enough volume for two showers with ease. An average sunny day warms it to a nice comfortable temperature. However the fill hole should have been at the very top, and the screw closure should be better designed. Also the retainer piece to not lose the screw closure is total crap and doesnt work at all. I cut the hose to the shortest possible length, because you will definitely need to have some way to hang this way above your head if you want to have a normal shower experience. We ended up building a winch system to get it up high enough. Also, it will not heat adequately if left hung up, it needs to be flat horizontal to get enough solar gain to heat adequately. Ultimately for the price/ I would buy again.
Good but not great outdoor shower
