Maximise Your Poolside Pleasure With a Bunnings Outdoor Shower

Let’s face it, Aussie summers are all about BBQs and cooling off in the pool. Imagine being able to rinse off after a surf or dip in the pool before heading inside, keeping chlorine, dirt, and sand out. That’s where the outdoor shower comes in – a brilliant trend taking backyards by storm. Bunnings outdoor showers and Hy-Clor’s products provide all you need to create a luxurious and hygienic poolside oasis.

Why Choose an Outdoor Shower?

Outdoor showers are more than just a fancy poolside addition.

They offer a wave of benefits:

  • Convenience: Rinse off chlorine and suntan lotion in a flash, keeping the mess out of your house.
  • Poolside Cleanliness: Keep dirt and debris out of the pool by rinsing off before swimming.
  • Elevated Experience: Enjoy a spa-like experience with an outdoor shower, creating a resort-style feel in your backyard.
  • Eco-Friendly: A quick rinse in an outdoor shower can use less water than rinsing off in the bathroom, making them a win for the environment.

Installing an outdoor shower can reinvent your poolside experience.

Selecting the Right Outdoor Shower at Bunnings

Bunnings outdoor showers come in a variety of options, so you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your poolside paradise. Harness the Aussie sun to heat your shower water naturally – with our cost-effective and eco-friendly solar options. Here’s a quick guide:

Ideal for large families or frequent guests, the 26L capacity guarantees ample warm water. Enjoy a convenient footwash and a luxurious, extended shower without compromising on temperature.

A versatile and compact option, the 18L solar shower balances capacity and efficiency. It offers a hot/cold valve with ample warm water for quick, refreshing rinses for small families or moderate shower needs.

This model is ideal for efficient, convenient short showers. It’s also great for eco-conscious individuals who want to minimise water usage without sacrificing warm water luxury.

Our outdoor solar showers are freestanding and connect to the water hose, offering portability, easy installation, and energy efficiency. Consider these factors when choosing:

Water Source: Opt for a solar shower that heats independently and connects to the garden hose.
Personal Style: Choose a shower that complements your pool area’s aesthetics, whether it’s sleek and modern or rustic and natural.

Considering these factors, you can choose the perfect outdoor shower that blends with your poolside area while enhancing functionality and style.

Installation Tips for Your Outdoor Shower

Thinking of tackling the installation yourself? Here’s a basic guide to get you started:

1. Choose Your Location

Pick a spot with good drainage, close enough to your pool but not directly under eaves (to avoid drips). Ensure easy access to your garden hose.

2. Gather Your Tools

Depending on the model, you may need a shovel, screwdriver, level, drill, wrench, and pipe cutter (for some models). Bunnings can provide any specific fittings required for your chosen shower.

3. Prepare the Base

For freestanding showers, start by digging a stable base per the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure it’s level with good drainage to avoid water build-up.

Use a gravel and sand mix for support, and reinforce with concrete if suggested. This ensures a solid, durable foundation for your shower.

4. Connect the Plumbing (if applicable)

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and comply with relevant plumbing regulations when installing wall-mounted showers or those connecting to existing taps.

Ensure proper sealing to prevent leaks, check water pressure compatibility, and use appropriate tools and materials for a secure installation.

5. Install the Shower

Connect the shower head and valves to the pipes using the provided fittings, ensuring the connections are tight to prevent leaks. Use a level to make sure the shower head is straight. For freestanding showers, secure it firmly to the base (follow manufacturer’s instructions), attach the shower head as instructed, and connect the garden house ensuring all fittings are tight and the unit is stable.

Hy-Clor Bonus!

If you’re opting for a solar shower, the beauty is there’s no need for plumbing connections. The Hy-Clor Solar Shower Stand offers a stable base, letting you conveniently position your solar shower anywhere in your pool area.
