Abstract
Embodiments provide a stand-alone or self-contained gravity-fed emergency shower including a shower head. A water-tight reservoir is provided, the reservoir including an outlet in fluid communication with a shower head, and an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe includes an interior end and an exterior end, the interior end extending into the reservoir to a point below the fill level and above the outlet. The air inlet pipe allows air to enter the reservoir as water drains through the outlet, maintaining a substantially constant head pressure at the outlet, thereby resulting in a substantially constant flow rate of water to the shower head.
