Care & Use Agreement

Thank you for your purchase!
We appreciate your business and hope that you enjoy your new Strand Boards® Strand Series or Swell Series outdoor shower! Below please find important care and use information for your new surfboard shower so that you can fully enjoy your purchase, as well as information about Strand Boards’ limited warranty.
PROPER CARE & USE
Proper care of the product, including its shower components, is required to enjoy your new outdoor shower fully. While we strive to provide a high-quality product that you will enjoy for years to come, it is still susceptible to normal wear and tear caused by the natural elements, the quality of water in your area, and the use of the shower. Please observe the following to get the most out of your shower:
  • It is crucial to winterize the shower in cold weather. Just like any outside water faucets and hose bibs, they are susceptible to freeze damage if not properly maintained. A cut-off valve should be installed in the water line in freezing climates so that the unit can be drained and blown out with compressed air. 
  • Bring the shower inside during extreme weather/seasons; not doing so in a timely manner may result in damage or freeze. When you do so, please remove the entire shower unit and store it indoors. 
  • Please use caution to prevent burns to skin from scalding water, especially in warmer climates. Water is stored in the body of most shower units and water lines when not in use, and although the finish of the shower unit has minimal solar gain, that water can reach more than 110 degrees which can result in burns to skin tissue.
  • Please be aware that pinhole leaks may develop over time in any copper plumbing, rusting and/or pitting on chrome components. 
  • The shower must be properly installed and maintained and should not be modified without authorization by Strand Boards, or else you risk damaging the components.

Please be aware that the original colors on the surfboard may fade or change over time, depending on several factors, including, but not limited to, exposure to the natural outdoor elements, where the surfboard shower is installed, and how it is maintained.
