The arrival of summer after a chilly winter season is always welcoming. It brings with it its share of woes with itself. Of course, the sickening heat wave and the loo need to be withstood, but there is yet another mostly overlooked and less talked about problem faced by us. All of us, who have showered in the scorching heat of summer, will know how hot the water in the plumbing system of our homes turns. Most modern homes have water reservoirs or tanks on the terrace, which faces the heat of the sunlight, turning the water hot. For winters, we have water heating apparatus installed at home, but what do we do during the summer? Well, an Indian man has just come up with the most unconventional and bizarre solution for the same.
In an example of the classic jugaad – a term used to describe desi inexpensive solutions to pressing problems – a man has come up with an apparatus which will help one get cold water while bathing under a shower during summer. The apparatus has been shared in an Instagram video and it has instantly fascinated people and gone viral.
The man has ingeniously installed a filtration system beneath their shower, securely fastened with metal wires. Inside the filter, ice cubes are kept. As the hot water flows through the filter, it melts the ice which turns into ice-cold water and flows down from the filter, allowing for a refreshing cold water shower experience.
The video has been shared by an account named high.br0 on Instagram. Till now, it has been seen by more than 1.5 crore people, while more than 3 lakh people have liked it. People have commented, suggesting the person behind the jugaad should use this prototype to make more of such filtered showers and sell them. One commented that it is only in India that such talent can be found.
