April shower...
Way overdue for a good shower. Last one I had, I thought my pump was broken and only got a trickle. Took the pump apart this morning and discovered it was clogged with dead bees. Now I am fresh and clean for at least another month. 87,94,55,0,B
Thanks for showing this detail. Was wondering why use a diaphragm pump for this application; and whether you had external check valves on the pump inlet and outlet piping ? Check valves might keep the bees out.

ReplyDeleteIf you shower every other month you could save water.
ReplyDeleteonce a month weather you need it or not lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like a simple filter screen is needed. :)
ReplyDeleteHa. I only shower about once a week myself. Better for the skin.
ReplyDeleteYour shower has undergone so many changes over the years. I recall when you didn't even have a shower curtain.
