Installing an outdoor shower can bring you, your family, and your friends a lot of enjoyment, whether you’re trying to escape from the hot summer heat or from winter cold weather. However, digging out trenches to connect the plumbing can be extremely time-consuming and expensive work, not to mention potentially damaging to the landscape if the trenches aren’t properly refilled after installation. But what if there’s no need to dig? What if you can install an outdoor shower without excavation? Is it possible? The answer is yes; yes, it’s possible! Here’s how you do it…
Underground Installation pipe
When installing an outdoor shower, it is possible to run a water line underground, through existing irrigation systems or concrete piping. This requires digging and excavation but often results in easier installation. Alternatively, you can install your outdoor shower directly to a building’s exterior wall and use existing faucets from that building to supply cold water. If you choose to install a ute dusch without digging, choose carefully where you locate it—you don’t want it close enough to be easily accessible by trespassers but also not so far away that it’s inconvenient for your guests or new homeowners.
Ground Trench Method
To install a cool outdoor shower without excavation, you must first determine if you have enough space to fit it. If so, all you have to do is dig a hole in your yard big enough for your utedusch area and trench. First, mark out your designated location with stakes and string. Next, use a shovel to dig out a trench that’s 18 inches deep. Once dug out, pour concrete into it. This will allow you to seamlessly connect your new fixtures to existing water lines without having to tear apart your home’s plumbing system and move to pipe around.
Hydrojet Filtration System
Another option for outdoor showers is to build an outdoor shower with a hydro jet water filtration system. There are several ways to do it—they range from simple to complex—but essentially you connect your home’s existing hot and cold water supply lines, add a pump and diverter, and tie it into a filtered water line that feeds into your new outdoor shower.
