Outdoor Shower Add-Ons Explained

Outdoor Shower Add-Ons Explained

Beyond the main shower setup, there are optional add-ons that improve practicality and flexibility.

At Coastal Copper Designs, the two key add-ons are:

  • Foot Tap
  • Hand-Held Shower

Foot Tap (Highly Recommended Add-On)

A foot tap is a lower tap used for quick rinsing.

It’s perfect for:

  • Washing sandy feet
  • Cleaning after the beach
  • Rinsing pets
  • Outdoor gardening use
  • Quick everyday clean-ups

For coastal homes, this is one of the most practical additions you can include.

Hand-Held Shower (Optional Add-On)

A hand-held shower gives you more control over water direction.

It’s useful for:

  • Rinsing children
  • Cleaning pets or gear
  • Targeted washing without using overhead shower
  • Multi-purpose outdoor use

It adds flexibility without changing the main shower design.

Do You Need Add-Ons?

Not every setup needs them — it depends on how you use your space.

  • Foot tap → highly practical for most homes
  • Hand-held → optional for added flexibility

Many homeowners choose at least a foot tap because of how often it gets used.
