Solar-Fizz , the famous Swiss solar-powered Gardenshower by Andy Byland

Solar-Fizz "Products since 1992"

The prototype of the Solar-Fizz was born in 1992. This was merely an attempt to build a tube collector. The tests with this collector were very promising. The surprise was great when the water temperature reached almost 70 ° C.

The water was too hot to shower, so that a mixing-tap has to be developed. A first mixer (with ball valves) did not suit. The second experiment (with screw valves) brought the expected results.

The first solar shower was created and tested for suitability for two years. Finally in 1995, a first batch of 20 units was built and sold soon. The performance of these solar shower was impressive. The shower had four tube collectors (of 10 liters each). It was possible to shower with warm water during a whole afternoon on a sunny day.

The commendable tips of the customers led us to revise the design of the shower. From now on, the new shower was named "La Douche". "La Douche" had two collectors (each 15 liters) and provided enough hot water for a carefree shower pleasure.

New suppliers were the reason to rethink once again the design of "La Douche. From 2004 the new solar shower was built under the name Solar-Fizz.

Once again, the clientele encouraged us to rethink the concept of Solar-Fizz. The reliable elements of "La Douche" were revised and given a modern design.

The four different versions of the Solar-Fizz available now on the market are the result of our efforts to offer a sophisticated and modern solar shower.
