A portable solar shower includes two detachable water reservoirs. One of the reservoirs may be coupled to a water source and includes a diverter valve regulating the flow and temperature of water spayed by a shower head, and the other reservoir has a port for coupling to the shower head. When the solar shower is not in use, the reservoirs may be separated from one another to form a compact package adapted for storage or transportation.

1. A solar shower, comprising: a first water reservoir having a first port for coupling to a water source, and a diverter valve for regulating temperature of water flowing into a shower head; anda second water reservoir having a second port for coupling to the shower head, said second reservoir detachably connected to the first reservoir;wherein the first water reservoir comprises: a first enclosure;the diverter valve having a first inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet;a first pipe having a first end connected to first inlet and a second end connected to the first port;a second pipe having a third end connected to the first outlet and a fourth end fluidly connected to an interior of the first enclosure;a third pipe having a fifth end connected to the second outlet and a sixth end connected to a first coupler having a first through hole; anda first insert defining an end position of the first coupler. 2. The solar shower of claim 1, wherein: the third pipe forms a first fixed water-tight joint with the first coupler; andthe first insert forms a third fixed water-tight joint with the first enclosure. 3. The solar shower of claim 2, wherein at least one of the first or third fixed water-tight joints is a threaded joint or an adhesive joint. 4. The solar shower of claim 1, wherein the second water reservoir comprises: a second enclosure;a fourth pipe having (i) a seventh end fluidly connected to an interior of the second enclosure and to the second port and (ii) an eighth end connected to a second coupler forming a first slip joint with the first coupler, said second coupler having a second through hole at least partially coinciding with the first through hole; anda second insert defining an end position of the second coupler, said second insert forming a second slip joint with the first insert. 5. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein the first slip joint is a substantially water-tight slip joint. 6. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein: the fourth pipe forms a second fixed water-tight joint with the second coupler; andthe second insert forms a fourth fixed water-tight joint with the second enclosure. 7. The solar shower of claim 6, wherein at least one of the second or fourth fixed water-tight joints is a threaded joint or an adhesive joint. 8. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein at least one of the first and second couplers comprises an o-ring disposed in a path between adjacent surfaces of said couplers. 9. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein at least one of the first and second inserts comprises an o-ring disposed in a path between adjacent surfaces of said inserts. 10. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein at least one of (i) the first enclosure and second enclosure, (ii) the first through fourth pipes, and (iii) the first and second couplers is fabricated from a polymer, a plastic, a composite, a metal, an alloy, or a combination thereof. 11. The solar shower of claim 4, wherein at least one of (i) the first enclosure and second enclosure, (ii) the first through fourth pipes, and (iii) the first and second couplers is fabricated from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene). 12. A solar shower, comprising: a first water reservoir having a first port for coupling to a water source, and a diverter valve for regulating temperature of water flowing into a shower head; anda second water reservoir having a second port for coupling to the shower head, said second reservoir detachably connected to the first reservoir;wherein the second water reservoir is detachably connected to the first water reservoir using a threaded joint having a lock ring, a clamp, or a flange.
