The cover provides insulation of the safety shower from the effects of solar heating of the stored water within the shower and helps to minimize the water temperature. The results will differ, due to the varying climate conditions and exposure to the sun, experienced throughout Australia.
The cover will only provide thermal protection for the shower. It is strongly recommended to ensure the water supply to the shower unit is also insulated by either underground installation and/or also requiring thermal insulation cover to the piping to help with water temperature control.
