10 simple life hacks in case there is no hot water

Summer has come, and with it, it's time for hot water shutdowns. For some reason, utilities believe that there is no special need for a hot bath and a warm shower in the summer, but not everyone is ready to put up with this. If you are a rebel by nature and are used to breaking the system, then our tips on how to swim in hot water in the summer against all odds will be useful.

If you are not technically ready for planned shutdowns of hot water, then it is quite obvious that the simplest and most logical way to enjoy the benefits of civilization will be to visit the happy owner of a boiler or boiler, gas or electric. But this method is for weaklings, besides it implies certain troubles.

Therefore, the best option may be one of the independent solutions to the problem presented below.

1. A simple and logical way to get the desired hot water has always been and remains a centuries-proven method of heating in a saucepan or in a bucket. If you have a metal container of a sufficiently large volume, then it is not difficult to get the amount of hot water necessary for washing. The main thing is to observe safety precautions and be patient.

2. If you do not have enough capacity, but have an engineering mindset and a lot of useful things, then you can easily build a primitive flowing water heater from a baking tray or frying pan, pots, as well as metal and polymer tubes. The performance of such a system will be low, but for bathing one person, and even more so for washing dishes, such an installation will be enough.

3. A more effective artisanal method can be called the use of a remarkable achievement of civilization — a boiler. If you have one powerful or several conventional electrical appliances of this type, and the wiring in the apartment is ready for extreme loads — this method can be used effectively. Important note — if life is dear to you, do not try to dive into the bath when there are electrical appliances there — a live stoker is always better than a clean dead man.

4. Nowadays there are washing machines in almost every home. But few people know that this household appliance can be a source of hot water. To use the device for other purposes, it must be switched on to the fastest boiling mode, and the drain pipe should be lowered into the bath. Of course, it is not necessary to load dirty laundry into the tank at the same time.

5. A costly but reliable way to get access to hot water is to purchase a gym membership. In any self-respecting fitness club, there are showers. Thus, you will combine business with pleasure. During the summer months, you will not go broke, especially since even the cheapest water heater will cost more than paying for a gym.

6. If you are not strapped for money and are ready for anything, for the sake of a hot bath, then you can book a night at a hotel or, at worst, in a hostel. You don't have to stay in the room for a whole day — you can just wash up and hand over the room.

7. Treat yourself to a visit to a good sauna. An important advantage of such a hike will be not only high-quality washing, but also a wellness effect. The costs of this event can be significantly reduced if you cooperate with fellow sufferers. Together is not only cheaper, but also more fun!

8. Wet wipes can be a good substitute for hot water. One pack of these products is enough to wash completely. Thanks to the care of the manufacturers, you can choose napkins with one of the many flavors and fragrance.

9. To wash your hair without hot water, use dry shampoos. These hair care products are available for tourists in the form of an aerosol or powder. They are based on talc, safe for hair and skin.

10. And finally, the most pleasant, but, alas, not always feasible way to avoid the inconvenience of turning off the water is a summer vacation. Prevention and repair of networks and equipment lasts 2-3 weeks, which can be spent on the shore of a warm sea or in a country cottage, with a classic summer shower.
