In this video I show how I made a rainwater shower system for my off-grid annexe in the forest. It is a 12 volt system with a water pump running on solar power and the water is heated with gas. I also make a sand filter for cleaning the rainwater before it enters the water pump.

The rainwater system is the perfect solution for my tiny offgrid homestead in the forest, since it raises the comfort level whilst being an environmentally friendly shower solution at the same time.
