Perks of Outdoor Showers

Wondering if you should invest in an outdoor shower for your space? Whether you're purchasing for your backyard pool or van life adventures, we've rounded up a few perks of having a portable, freestanding, or wall-mount outdoor shower:

• Clean Off Before or After Using Your Pool— Salt, chlorine, and other chemicals used to treat pool water can irritate and dry out your skin. An outdoor shower makes it easy to wash off after taking a dip in your backyard pool or hot tub. Plus, you won't leave a wet trail behind you while you head to a bathroom inside.

• Wash Off Dirt & Sand— Even if you don't have a pool, you can still benefit from an outdoor shower. Use it to hose dirt and sand off your hands and feet after gardening or playing in the backyard. Washing off outside helps keep your bathroom drains from getting clogged with sand, grass, and grime.

• Water the Plants with Ease— Many outdoor showers come equipped with a practical faucet to fill up watering cans without needing to unravel the hose or lug heavy loads all the way across the yard. In addition to watering the plants, the faucet is excellent for filling outdoor toys and water balloons too.

• Bathe Pets Outdoors— Bathing your dog outside does wonders to keep your bathroom clean and fur-free. Not to mention, your house won't be left with lingering wet dog smells.

• Enjoy a Refreshing Outdoor Rinse— An outdoor poolside shower brings the feel of a beach vacation to your very own backyard. If you plan to use it as an open-air shower, opt for something solar-powered with an adjustable water temperature or have a plumber connect it to the water supply in your house. While a cold shower can certainly be refreshing at times, it's nice to have access to warm water whenever you want.

• Bring Your Portable Outdoor Shower on the Go— A portable outdoor shower is a worthwhile splurge for camping, hiking, beach trips, and other outdoor adventures. Tuck one inside your van, RV, or camper for showering, rinsing your feet, or washing dishes. Look for products with solar panels or a propane-powered heating system with a backup battery.
