An outdoor shower is great after the pool, the beach, or yard work, but it needs seasonal plumbing care. Here is the Davis guide.
The supply
An outdoor shower needs a hot and cold water line from the house, with a mixing valve and its own shutoff so it can be winterized.
The drain
The shower can drain into a dry well, a french drain, or the existing sewer where allowed. Local code decides what is permitted.
Winterizing
Before freezing weather, the outdoor lines must be shut off and drained completely. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In Davis, this is the step that prevents spring leaks.
The install
A pro runs the lines, mounts the valve and fixture, and sets up the drain. A frost-free design makes winterizing simpler.
