How to connect to laundry for outside shower?

[ElliKa]

Our bathroom is getting renovated shortly and we won't have a shower for a while.

Since one of our arranged plans fell through, my family & I are looking at cheaper ways to get this sorted.

We've just bought a double shower tent for wet & dry areas to use outside of the house.

However, I'm not sure how to run or connect up to the laundry taps so that we can have hot and cold water in the shower tent.

How can i achieve this please?

Hello @ElliKa 

Thanks for sharing your question about connecting the hot water to your shower tent. Just to be clear on the shower tents construction, does it have a shower set already installed and you only need hoses to connect to the existing plumbing? If there is no plumbing installed on the shower tent, I recommend having a look at the Devanti Gas Hot Water Heater Portable Shower Camping LPG Outdoor Instant Grey. 

This continuous gas hot water heater only needs two "D" sized batteries and a standard 9kg LPG gas tank. No special fittings are required, and you can simply plug in your garden hose to supply water. When you consider the amount of money you'll be spending for the hoses, plumbing connections and the shower set itself, it becomes pretty significant.

A cost-effective method of having a shower outdoor is to invest in an outdoor portable shower. This eliminates all the hassle of having to connect and reconnect the hoses, building a shower set up and you don't have to worry about running out of hot water. Plus, should you ever need to set up an outdoor shower again, you'll have one ready to go. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
