Billions of people go each day without convenient access to a proper shower. In Chile’s campamentos, most families resort to bathing by parts: they fill up a bucket with boiling and cold water, and use a small container to rinse themselves. This project's goal was to design practical, sustainable and inexpensive solutions.
Ducha Halo’s 6-liter metal container (with an analog temperature sensor) is easy to heat on the stove, reducing preparation time and physical strain. Two minutes of hand pumping yields a fifteen-minute hot shower, which flows in a refreshing generous stream from a cheerful plastic showerhead.
