HYDROTOOLS Tube Style 7 Foot Poolside Shower, Adjustable Head & Foot Tap Spigot With Valve Controls, Standard Garden Hose, Environmentally Friendly, Outdoor Backyard Poolside Beach Spa

After using this outdoor shower for the first time, my expectations were exceeded. Assembly was quick and easy, durability is sufficient, water flow at the shower head and leg/feet wash is excellent as long as your water supply has good pressure. I used a garden hose hooked up to an outdoor spigot on my house. I didn’t experience any leaks. The unit includes plumbers tape which is necessary to use at each connection to avoid leaks (Plumbing 101). The base of the unit can be filled with water to provide sturdiness for keeping the unit upright, but I may consider adding a concrete solution inside the base for better support in the future. However, the base filled with water is sufficient. The overall value of the shower unit is excellent. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase.

Update: After a month, the quick connect has failed. It no longer seals and water sprays from there when in use. It's after my return window, so I will try to epoxy the connection to see if that will solve the problem. It was easy to assemble and works great. The major flaw with it, though, is that the quick connect that your water/garden hose connects to is weak. It comes undone if I move the shower and the hose is at too much of an angle. It will also come undone if you leave the water on with the valves closed, so you have to turn it off at the bib if there's more than a minute between people using it. Otherwise, it stays in place, works like it should, and I like to use the foot wash to top off the pool (no longer having to find something to keep a hose in place).

Great outdoor poolside shower!!! Just be sure to add the plumbing tape around the connectors. The shower works better than expected and zero leaks. It looks and works great!!! What a great buy. Some days you can still get a “win.” Super easy to assemble. Cant say enough and am extremely pleased with it.

As many have said, this outdoor shower could be a lot better. Yes, it’s leaky, and wobbly, with poor quality parts, especially the cheap, weak, quick connect. This is how I fixed some of the issues for $12: 1) saw-off and glue-cap the cheap 1/2” plastic quick-connect T 2) buy a 1” T with a 3/4” pipe thread, saw the main pipe above the old capped connector, but not too high or the shower will be unstable. 3) buy a Brass 3/4” pipe thread to hose thread adapter for the new 1” T 4) buy a set of good Brass quick connects — I use the same brand for all hose connections 5) throw away the awful quality silicone pipe tape, and buy a high-quality roll 6) thoroughly tape all threads in the entire shower fixture, carful to not over-tighten any connection — that can cause leaks! It now works perfectly with no leaks. Yes, it still wobbles, but if you’re careful, it’s not that big a deal. I hope this helps!

I am using this as my backyard shower within a pop-up tent. I tried to reach the manufacturer with some questions but got no reply, so found workarounds on my own. It was taller than it was described, so wouldn't fit inside the tent which had a mesh top panel. I wanted to know if there was any way to cut/shorten the top pipe without destroying it. No reply. I finally cut out the mesh tent top and worked the pole out the back window of the tent and then the gooseneck landed at the right place to be centered over me in the tent. It's a bit leaky but not bad. The water pressure is good and easy to control. I'm just using cold water for now. If I keep using it, I'll get fancier and try to get a mixed line of hot and cold going.

Some folks said this was a good product, in fact the folks who wrote "Junk" are the only ones telling the facts. When I hooked this thing up and charged it with water - the shower head face blew off, leaked at every screw on joint and several that had not been glued together. Was able to stop screw on leaks with pipe tape, however water hose blew off at the attachment joint. So I started replacing parts with sch. 40 & 80 piping. Found out non of the piping on this shower conforms to US pvc piping. Took it all apart - used the base only and re-constructed using US pvc parts. So I paid for a base, which I could have bought for $5.00. Amazon should not allow this type of junk to be sold.

Also Great to use for emergency at home when water heaters is broken.

Overall the shower is flimsy and lightweight, but it will do what it’s intended to do. There’s only one major problem. The glued on “quick connect” hose adapter does not even work - it sprays a lot water everywhere. It’s not just a trickle or small leak. Since it’s glued on I can’t remove it and replace with a good one. i tried some of my female connectors and they don’t fit it either. I cut it off and now I’m trying to find a threaded hose connector that will fit this wonky sized PVC. Then I can add my own quick disconnect that doesn’t leak. I use them on everything, but the 2 pieces (male/female) actually have to fit together to make a seal. After much wasted money and trial and error on adapters, I finally found something that will fit this weird metric PVC. I got a barbed 1/2” drip line repair connector, cut the end off a regular 1/2” garden hose, secured it with 2 hose clamps and then added my quality disconnect. Once it was able to pressurize, I discovered a couple leaks, added more Teflon tape and snugged everything up. We are finally in business. Had I known this is where I’d end up, I wouldn’t have cut the end off the pipe. I would have clamped the hose segment right on to that male quick connect.
