Simple shower outside pool.

[Wadeod]

Was curious your thoughts for Indiana Salt pool. We have friends that have a simple shower (basically an inverted cane shape) in the grass a few feet from pool where they can stand on edge of concrete to shower off. We don’t have a pool house.

Is something like this recommended ? Not sure if anyone will shower before or after pool anyway.

Would you have one?

I do not have one. With TFPC water I feel great getting out of our SaltWater pool.

Take care.

Wade,

I feel cleaner getting out of my saltwater pool than I do after a real shower, so for me anyway, there is just no need to "shower off"...

If you can smell chlorine on your body, or bathing suit, after you have been in the pool, I think there is a chemical issue somewhere.

On the other hand, it can't hurt so do it if you want...

Let's see what our other members have to say....

Thanks for posting,

Jim R.

I love my outdoor shower and I use it before getting in the pool and after I get out. When working in the yard I rinse off the dirt and sweat before jumping in the pool, makes perfect sense to keep that out of my pool water. Also if returning from a bike ride or tennis match I rinse off before jumping in the pool of course. After using the pool and before I dry off and get dressed I step into my outdoor shower and may even soap up and wash my hair before a good rinse rather than using the shower in the house. An outdoor shower in the summer time is a real treat. It is simple to install (cool tap water system) quick and easy to use and waters my plants at the same time. I say get some PVC pipe and a nice shower head you will love it.

I had plans originally for an outdoor shower, but then discovered TFP and I'm like the others, never feel a need to shower after. I suppose I should before swimming after working in the yard. A hot shower would be nice for the kids when they swim a long time and get a bit cool or cold. I'm sure it would get used if we had one in a clean handy place.

I built an outdoor shower from stock galv pipe at Lowe's last summer... it's way more sturdy than any off-the-shelf outdoor shower solution I could find. I just keep it inline with a garden hose that stays on all season long. It's awesome for showering off after mowing the grass and the kids love to play in it. I added a tap midway up for washing your hands too.
