Update 7/2024: Going on 3rd summer season. Still works great and no leaks. The shiny chrome metalized plastic has tarnished, but works fine. My usage is summer only. It’s disassembled and stored indoors during winter. Happy with this product for the money. Upgraded to 5 stars.———————————— Foremost, it works. This was a simple inexpensive way to add a rinse-off shower at an ocean beach house.Even when not in direct sun, the water will warm to the ambient temperature by early afternoon making for a pleasant non-frigid rinse. At least for now, this thing does what it's supposed to do.The plastic tower/tank is sturdy enough. I chose to bolt it directly into a concrete patio. Still, I'm sure if kids climbed on this, it would break. The fixtures, like the faucet, shower head and shower head pipes are incredibly cheap/flimsy. Very pretty metalized plastic so they look just like real plumbing parts (but they're not). You can easily break these parts assembling them if you're not careful and over tighten. This is where they saved costs. We'll see how these fixtures hold up, but won't be surprised if upgrades are needed in the future. I'm especially wary of the plastic shutoff faucet.Assembly was straightforward, but required a little innovation and mechanical sense. Instructions are merely a guide and did not completely match my hardware. Teflon tape was included to eliminate leaks, but you're supposed to already know how to use this stuff. Make sure to wrap all threads with teflon tape before screwing anything together. You'll have to visit your local plumbing store like Home Depot to purchase proper adapter(s) for connection to any American standard garden hose. And be extra careful when tightening any pipe/fixture threads as you can easily break the el-cheapo plastic pipes and fixtures. Instructions warned not to use tools, but it's ok if you wrap parts with a rag and very carefully snug with hand tools. I don't have any leaks.It's a well engineered product for a very low price point. But, you get what you pay for. It's just a step above "throw away toy" in my opinion.I intend to remove and store indoors for the winter. I'll be thrilled to get more than 2 seasons of use from this and hope to be surprised.Bottom line, it works. If in the sun, you'll have pleasant warm showers.
