I just received the Sport. The only problem is I am in the south and rain has been forecast for the next week. This morning we had some cloudy conditions with a hint of sun behind the clouds. I tried to put bacon in it just to test, since if it fails I can fry the bacon inside . After 15 minutes the temp was 132, and after an hour it was over 150. It never got any hotter so cooking in the semi shade is not a good idea. I'll have to wait for a sunny day.

Use your air compressor...that's the purpose of the schrader valve. I'd go one step further and include a pressure relief valve set to about 30 psi so you don't over-pressurize the pipe.

It’s not a bad idea. I think if you used one more street elbow you could just cut that pipe in half and turn it back on itself to double the capacity. Someone mentioned about a heating element too that’s not a bad idea either. 👍

I have the Sport, Fusion, and 2 Goes... I did a fudge brownie mix in my Fusion using the silicon loaf pans i have for it...did chicken thighs earlier in the day using different silicon trays... the trays are easy enough clean...and i did not do the electric part of the fusion this time... was a really nice sunny day for western Washington... I could have rotated my deep tray out to the middle maybe... my brownies were a bit thick for regular brownies, they got done and were tasty but if I had split the mix among 6 pans, and did 2 loads... they might have been more standard in thickness... got short brownie loafs. The chicken thighs I marinated in a Carolina style BBQ sauce over night....I used the Thermo electric thermometer with app on my tablet to graph the temperatures in both cooking runs... Have you baked eggs in your Sport... mine holds just under a dozen eggs... it does a good job... like boiled...my Goes are too small to do in shell eggs...I did get my Sport with 2 trays... I have been looking for corndogs again a Go can do a pair, but the Sport can do 4 corndogs at same time. I am thinking the corndogs are a bit hard to find now ready made.

Nice. A few questions for anybody who has one of these in PVC: When it runs out of pressure there is still a lot of water in the tank? What happens if you run it with a lot more water coming trough the head? On a sunny 70F+ day, Is the water a comfortable temperature 2 hours after the sun goes down? Anybody try to install a 120v 1000w heating element on one of these for a 10 minute warm up?

Hey there! We took some time to research this topic after you mentioned it, and there are mixed reactions to using ABS as a water tank for shower water. From what we found, we can only recommend that others research the topic before committing to ABS. A viable alternative option would be to use white PVC and paint it matte black with spray paint. Thanks for bringing this up!

I like your video but one has to call a spade a spade. I’m a health care worker and it’s just really really dumb to shower in toxins for the endocrine system. For the lymphatic system.

Thanks for an informative video. I just finished my solar shower mostly based on your design except that I installed a 4-in to 2-in Y at the discharge end. Then I cemented a PVC adapter (using PVC to ABS cement), which has a 3/4 inch threaded end that I simply screwed the spigot right to it. I don’t like to drill and this way I only had to drill a small hole for the air intake valve. I tilted the discharge tube a bit so all water will flow towards it. I had a perfect seal if I use Teflon tape on both end caps. It seems a hassle to have to re-tape the cap each time you need to add water. Do you have a better solution?
@thedirtpeople67544 жыл бұрын
Glad to hear you made your own! I like the idea you mentioned here as well. I think the only other solution I have, besides tape, would be a rubber O ring that fits onto the screw cap. That may be a better option, let me know if you try it!

Install another faucet next to the air valve then make a small adapter hose with 2 female threaded ends to attach fill hose to the shower hose line. Open both faucets and fill tank until water overflows on top faucet. Then you can turn off fill line, close top faucet, drain some water through the shower line and then close bottom faucet, reattach shower head and your ready to pressurize.

I would be careful going over 20psi with it. I don't think the screw cap is rated for pressure. Usually just used for drainage. It could blow off like I've seen in a different video as the sun deteriorates it.
