Hygienic shower for the toilet: a comparative overview of designs and installation nuances

Features of the assessment of the main elements of a hygienic shower when choosing

Having decided to install a hygienic shower to a regular toilet in the bathroom, you should be aware that the designs of the models can vary significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to decide which of them will be the most convenient in a particular case.

Hygienic shower mixers

The faucet of wall-mounted and hygienic showers installed on the sink can be single-lever and double-lever. There are no specific recommendations for choosing a mixer according to this criterion, so each user can choose the most convenient one for himself. However, it will be useful to know the features of these structures:

Single-lever version of the mixer on a complex device installed on the washbasin.

Single-lever models are equipped with one handle, with the help of which the pressure and temperature of the water supplied to the watering can are adjusted. The convenience of this device lies in the fact that the setup takes a small amount of time, while all manipulations are comfortable to perform with one hand.

Double-lever external model of a hygienic shower.

Double lever mixers. Adjusting the temperature and water pressure in these models is done using two handles or flywheels, which is not very convenient, as it takes more time to achieve the desired result. The advantage of this mixer design is the large volume of the cavity for mixing hot and cold water.

Still, we have to admit that today the most popular option among consumers is single-lever models - because of the convenience of their operation.

Shower head and flexible hose

A flexible hose and a shower head most often come with a faucet. But if desired, these design elements can be purchased separately.The best option would be to use those accessories that are offered by the system manufacturer. The main criteria for choosing these devices are the anti-corrosion properties of the material of their manufacture, the tightness of the connecting nodes, the comfort in operation, and, of course, the aesthetic appearance.

The hose can be purchased separately if you are not satisfied with the length of the faucet included in the kit. As a rule, it is 1500 mm, but there are also models with shorter ones - manufacturers are “greedy”. Besides. The hose must be really flexible - there are such “samples” that are difficult to bring under this definition, and which, in their “flexibility”, look more like supply hoses.

When choosing a shower head, you should pay attention to the presence and configuration of the key. Examples of watering cans for a hygienic shower

Examples of watering cans for a hygienic shower.

The best thing when choosing is to try to hold the watering can in your hand and test it for ease of use. On many models of watering cans, a key or lever is provided, when pressed, the shower turns on. The button-key is located on the handle of the watering can, and the lever is most often located on the back of the shower head.

The simplest options for watering cans do not have a blocking device; water is supplied from them when the lever on the mixer is turned on. The convenience of such devices is highly questionable.

Possible device installation options

Installing a hygienic shower in the toilet has several advantages:

• ease of installation and installation variability;
• small design;
• multifunctionality in application;
• low cost;
• comfort in use.

Structural execution of the concept of "hygienic shower" is possible in four different externally and functionally options.

In the form of a shower toilet

This equipment has a special design with nozzles built into the body, which are hidden under the rim when the bidet function is turned off. The control of the device is built into the drain tank, increasing its dimensions. So you can adjust the power and temperature of the flow, but the direction of the jet does not change with the adjustment.

Toilet combined with bidet

This type of plumbing fixture is produced in floor and hanging versions, it can be mechanical or electronic and is constantly being improved by manufacturers. Therefore, the functionality of the device directly depends on the manufacturer and cost.

In the form of a bidet cover for the toilet

A fairly compact and convenient option that is easily mounted to an old toilet model. In fact, this is a standard toilet lid of a special design, containing a fitting for the water supply. The control of the device is built directly into the cover, as a rule, it is able to heat water, dry and gently lower the seat.

The weak side of the design is the external water supply with flexible hoses. Often this does not look very aesthetically pleasing.

There are even fully electronic versions of bidet covers from well-known brands. The functionality and comfort of such elite sanitary ware differs significantly from conventional models, as does the price.

Electronic bidet for toilet

In the form of a shower attached to the wall

The location of the hygienic shower in this way is the most common and convenient. Installation is carried out directly to the pipeline, and the placement of a compact watering can on a long flexible hose is carried out on the wall.This will require some construction work.

According to the standard, the height of a hygienic shower from the floor should be 60-80 cm, and the length of the hose should be limited to 1.5 meters. It is not recommended that it touch the floor.

As a rule, this version of the mixer is not equipped with a thermostat. However, it will not be difficult for a competent plumber to install this unit directly near the water supply in an inaccessible place. This will not affect the usability, tk. it is enough to adjust the thermostat once and for the entire period of operation.

The installation height of the hygienic shower and the distance from the toilet must be set so that the use of the device does not require additional efforts and acrobatic abilities.

Hygienic shower on the wall

In the form of a shower connected to the sink

This option is suitable for combined bathrooms, where there is a sink located near the toilet. You will need to purchase a special mixer for three outlets.

In the case of a separate bathroom, it will be enough to install a small sink in the corner of the room.

If the sink is already standing, then this option will be the most financially beneficial and the least time-consuming. Adjusting the water temperature is also carried out easily in manual mode and does not require additional costs.

Features of mounting a wall-mounted hygienic shower

If you provide for the installation of a wall-mounted outdoor or built-in hygienic shower in advance, then the installation of external elements will not be difficult.When choosing one of these options, the place for mounting the structure can be chosen arbitrarily, but in such a way that it is convenient for both users and for connecting hot and cold water pipes (pipes) to the device.

Hygienic shower with built-in single-lever mixer.

There are many different installation schemes for this device - the choice of the required option depends on the design of the purchased product and the location of its installation.

One of the options for connecting pipes to the faucet and to the water outlet of the shower hose, when they have to be spaced apart in order to increase comfort in use.

Installation work includes several stages:

It is best to find a convenient place to place such equipment, to make a kind of fitting. To do this, you will have to sit on the toilet, and, holding out your hand, determine where it will be comfortable to reach the faucet lever and shower head. This area is worth marking on the wall.

• Next, you need to determine the shortest path for the passage of water pipes from the main highways to the installation site of the mixer, fixing it on the wall with a pencil. If the hose is connected to a holder that has a separate design, then a line is also drawn from the mixer to the place of its installation.
• To the location of the mixer and the water outlet, cuts are cut in which the pipes for supplying cold and hot water will be placed.

Concealed polypropylene pipes from the water supply to the faucet, and from the faucet to the water outlet of the shower.

• If it is planned to mount a mixer model built into the wall, then a nest is cut for it (a recess of the required dimensions), into which it is recommended to embed a plastic box.It will protect the wall from moisture, and the mixer from building dust and finishing mortar.
• To supply water to the mixer, it is recommended to use polypropylene pipes, the connection of which is carried out by welding. Docking in this way will eliminate the possibility of leaks. And given that the pipes remain hidden in the wall, this is a very important point.
• The plastic pipes are connected to the mixer using special straight or angled threaded fittings.
• So, hot and cold water pipes are connected to the mixer. Then a common pipe is drawn from it to the installation site of the water outlet, to which the shower hose will be connected. Through this section of the pipe, water of the required temperature, prepared by the mixer, will flow into the hose.
• After the installation of the pipes is completed, they are covered with plaster mortar flush with the main surface of the wall. Outside, only the body of the mixer cartridge with the control rod and the water socket remain for the subsequent installation of the shower itself.
• The wall is lined with decorative material, in which holes are cut through the protruding parts of the system.
• Further, a decorative cap is installed on the protruding thread of the mixer head, which will close the unsightly appearance of the opening remaining in the finish, which, as a rule, does not have completely smooth edges. Then the adjusting lever is installed. In a similar way, a water outlet is “tied up”. As already mentioned, it can be combined with the bracket or located separately. The easiest option is when it is completely combined with a mixer.
• The last step is to assemble the hose with the shower head, and then connect it to the appropriate water outlet, bracket or faucet - depending on the model.

With mixers of external installation, everything is much simpler. Their installation is practically no different from the installation of the most conventional mixer. That is, eccentrics are screwed into the water sockets, the center distance and the horizontal position are precisely positioned. And then, with the help of union nuts with the installation of gaskets, the mixer itself is simply screwed on.

Screwing in the eccentrics and their correct positioning is perhaps the most difficult operation when installing wall-mounted outdoor faucets. All subsequent steps are simple and straightforward.

In conclusion, it can be noted that exact instructions with the application of the installation diagram for a specific model of a hygienic shower are usually included in the product package. So the main information will have to be drawn from there - there may be some nuances.

Installation options

There are several options for a hygienic shower.

If there is a sink in the bathroom next to the toilet, then it is most convenient to install the mixer on it, and hang the watering can on the wall near the toilet. Also, the watering can can be fixed directly on the sink - this is convenient, because after turning off the drops will fall straight into the sink.

The wall-mounted shower model is completely attached to the wall. Its mixer is installed on the pipe, and the watering can is attached with a special holder to the wall nearby.

There is also a built-in model that hides the design of a hygienic shower, except for a special panel left on the surface.Aesthetically, this option is more advantageous, but requires installation during repairs. If the repair has already been carried out, and you are thinking about the built-in model of a hygienic shower, you will have to carry out a certain amount of repair work again.

Before installation, check if all components are available.

Recall that the set should include:

• hose;
• watering can;
• wall holder;
• mixer.

Mounting the wall model includes:

1. Having stopped the flow of water (by blocking it on the riser), nuts are wound on the pipes, and then a mixer is screwed to them.
2. Then a hose is connected to it, and the watering can is placed in a holder mounted on the wall.

Installation of the wall model is quite simple, because no special pipes are required. But if you are not confident in your abilities, you can pay for the installation to a person who will do it for you.

A little more difficult to install a hidden hygienic shower, but the result will please you with space savings and a neat look of the bathroom.

Installation of a hidden hygienic shower:

1. After cutting a niche in the wall and laying a strobe, the mixer is installed in a niche, after which pipes are connected to it, which are hidden in the wall.
2. Next, install the joystick lever, as well as a watering can and a hose.

Product overview

Purpose and advantage

To begin with, let's decide whether we need a hygienic shower as such. As the name implies, this device is intended for hygienic processing after visiting the toilet. In the bathrooms of our houses and apartments, such a device can rarely be found - usually we get by with a bidet, a small sink, or even just a basket for used toilet paper (this is if the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room is completely meager).

For hygiene procedures, such a device will not be superfluous.

The countries of the Middle East are quite another matter. As you probably know, the dominant religion in these countries is Islam, and the requirements for hygiene in Islam are very specific and quite strict. So it’s quite difficult to imagine a well-maintained bathroom without such a shower head.

The mixer for a hygienic shower in the toilet provides us with the following advantages:

1. A jet of warm water allows you to clean the intimate area much more effectively than the highest quality toilet paper.
2. All sewage is immediately flushed down the toilet, so the sanitary condition is maintained at a high level.
3. Mucous membranes and skin are not injured by contact with toilet paper (yes, even the mildest varieties can cause irritation).
4. The jet of water during cleaning provides an additional massage. According to statistics, people who use a hygienic shower have such unpleasant diseases as hemorrhoids, proctitis, rectal erosions, etc. occur much less frequently.
5. Finally, connecting a hose with a shower head right next to the toilet makes it easier to sanitize plumbing. In addition, with the help of such a device, it is much easier to wash a children's potty or a cat's tray right on the spot.

The long hose makes it easier to sanitize the toilet itself

And yet, the main plus is that this device has a very compact size. This means that we can place it even in a small-sized bathroom of a typical apartment - where even a miniature sink will cover almost half of the room.

Varieties

Despite the simplicity of the design, choosing the right model can be quite difficult.The thing is that there are different types of such systems on the market, which differ both in configuration and in the type of installation.

You can compare the most common product categories according to the table:

Type of	Description
Hose to be connected to the basin faucet	By and large, this is a regular shower hose that is attached to the faucet on the sink. This design can be installed in a combined bathroom, or in a fairly spacious toilet - where there is space for mounting a separate sink.
Hygienic shower with separate mixer	The best solution in my opinion. A separate faucet or thermostat is installed on the wall, to which a hose and a shower head are attached. The whole structure is placed in such a way that it is on the left hand of the person sitting on the toilet and is easily accessible.
Lid - bidet	It is a separate lid for the toilet bowl, inside of which a special nozzle is built. The lid is connected to the cold circuit of the water supply system - when passing through the device, the water is heated to the optimum temperature.

There are two downsides to this design:

• high price due to the fact that such models are practically not represented in the budget segment;
• difficulty in selecting a model - you can not find a cover for every toilet model.

Briefly about the main

A hygienic shower is one of the most convenient ways to carry out post-toilet procedures.

• Small-sized. It can be placed even in the smallest closet without harm to free space.
• In addition to its direct purpose, it is often used for other household needs.
• The choice of a hygienic shower model is purely individual, and depends on the size, layout and design of the toilet room.
• As in the case of other plumbing, it is recommended to purchase only high-quality certified products.
• It is recommended to entrust the installation of this plumbing to a trained specialist, because. Mistakes during installation can lead to big trouble for you and your neighbors. This is especially true for hidden devices.

Hygienic shower in the toilet with a thermostat

The most convenient and practical is a hygienic shower with a thermostat. Having set it up once, you no longer have to adjust the water temperature or pressure. The only important condition for installing such a shower is the preliminary piping, and the installation of a thermostat inside a small niche. If the thermostat will be outside, take care of its convenient location. The advantages of such a shower: the water temperature is automatically adjusted. Cons: high cost.

Hygienic shower in the toilet with a sink

If your washroom allows, install a hygienic shower along with a sink. A prerequisite is that such a shower should be at arm's length from the toilet, but not far from the sink. The fact is that the sanitary shower is directly connected to the sink faucet. And before you use the shower, you have to turn the mixer. The positive thing about this connection is that not a single drop of water will fall on the floor, as the remaining water will drain into the sink drain.

How to install a hygienic shower in the toilet after repair?

Sometimes it happens that the repair has already been made and it became necessary to install a hygienic shower in the toilet. First of all, it is worth understanding that not every shower can now be installed. The most correct in such a situation would be to install a shower with a thermostat. But in any case, you will have to break the wall covering in the toilet, cut a small hole and connect the wiring of cold and hot water.

Hygienic shower in the toilet: installation height?

The standard height for installing a sanitary or hygienic shower is at around 60-80 cm from the floor. But people come in different heights, and accordingly you need to choose your own, so to speak, height for the shower. To do this, just sit on the toilet, close your eyes and stretch your hand to the wall as if behind a shower. Here at this level and install.

How to install a hygienic shower in the toilet?

To properly install the shower in the toilet, you should not only select and purchase the desired model, but also prepare the pipes. If you decide to install it yourself, check that all fasteners and connecting mechanisms are present.

First you need to connect the watering can with a flexible hose, then wind it onto the mixer. Next, connect the flexible hoses of cold and hot water to the corresponding pipes. Determine the location of the mixer or thermostat. Drill holes and fix shower parts in them, namely fasteners for hoses with a watering can and (or) a thermostat.

Toilet hygienic shower with faucet

The simplest and most affordable option for a sanitary shower. The principle of operation is the same as the faucet in the bathroom.The difference lies in the fact that, firstly, the shower is smaller in size, and, secondly, the watering can has a special shut-off valve that only works when it is pressed. This will make cleaning the toilet much easier. Advantages: availability, ease of use, the possibility of self-assembly. Disadvantages: it is possible to use such a shower only if there is a sink, sometimes the remaining water drips onto the floor.

Hygienic shower in the toilet. Mounting

Before buying a hygienic shower, think carefully about this before repairing. It is necessary to decide not only on the model, but also on the place of its attachment. Of course, you can do the installation yourself, but still it is best to use the services of professionals.

Why do you need a hygienic shower in the toilet?

Hygienic shower

Comments

We had on the right side before the repair, now on the left side. On the right it was much more convenient for us)

on the right when you sit on the toilet?

Yes) we are right-handed and it’s more convenient for us to hold the darling with our right hand, my left one constantly pours crookedly))) since painting nails on the right and left hands) there is a difference)

thanks, it's clear now

As a rule, they are hung to the left of the toilet bowl (if you sit on it), since you simply hold it with your left hand, and do the procedures with your right hand if you are right-handed.

We have it like this. You take it with your right hand and use it while sitting facing the tank.

facing the tank? Thought it was the other way around.

Hm. you also made me think))) The fact is that I sit on the bidet facing the faucet, so I sit on the toilet for these purposes backwards. Based on the fact that this is how I got used to it, we hung a hygienic shower. It is quite possible that the opposite is true. But I'm so comfortable.

I didn’t have a bidet or a hygienic shower, so I don’t understand anything about it.

Then you need to conduct an experiment to understand exactly how you will sit to wash))) Toilets are also different because they are different. Some are more elongated, others are round, and there are also rectangular ones, like mine. On some, it will be difficult to wash at all (if the toilet itself is small).

it is not necessary for a hygienic shower to sit facing the tank)))))))) We have a shower on the right, if you sit on the toilet. I'm right-handed, I hold the shower with my right hand and everything is convenient for me))

Excuse me for interfering, but can you show me in the photo. It’s just that we will also have a sink and my husband wants to install the same faucet.

I have it like this, it's convenient for me)

with my sister, if you look at the toilet, then on the left if you sit on the toilet on the right, you hold and hang with your right hand, and with your left you tryn tryn)))))))

I have the same. My husband and I are right handed. On the right (if you are sitting) there is a shower, on the left there is a gel dispenser.That is, if you look at the toilet, then vice versa: on the left is a shower, on the right is a dispenser.

thump-thrill :)))))

we have on the right hand, if you sit on the toilet. It is better to hang not too low and not too high.

we have two on the left (if you face the toilet) and one on the right, it didn’t work out differently

the one on the left, because when you carry out hygiene procedures, you have to stretch the hose in front of you

these are comfortable

but this is not very (in the process of repair, but it will be understood)

thank you very much, especially for the photos.

so that it is at your fingertips) so to speak

sit down and attach the fixture and faucet to the wall so you don't have to reach far for the shower

Good afternoon. There are a couple of questions) tell me: 1. There are two bathrooms, one large 7m2 joint, the second small 1.2m2 with a toilet and a mini-sink. I broke my head where to put a hygienic shower .. I have never used it, therefore it is difficult to assess where it is.

We moved to a new apartment, and here the toilet and bath are separate, in the old one everything is together and I really liked it, I went to wash and at the same time the washbasin, toilet bowl, bath machine washed and wiped .. And then every time with a bucket. And here at.

The question “to wash or not to wash” is of course NOT worth it))) But how to properly place a hygienic shower? at what height from the floor to hang? what is the distance from the corner? I'm going to hang it on the wall to the left of the toilet. Separate bathroom. Girls.

Good night, we are doing repairs in a new building, the toilet is 90 cm by 170 cm, there will be a mini sink 25 cm wide, 45 cm long, how are you? and do you think it is necessary to move the toilet to the side?) and at what height to place a hygienic shower? toilet paper? for the photo I will be very.

In general, the question is simple: girls, tell me, is it customary here in the USA to give gifts to teachers at Christmas? I thought about preparing small gifts for our teachers, but my husband doubts how “correct” this is in the USA. would not want to get into.

My 20th week is coming to an end. I read that normally the height of the fundus of the uterus at this time should be 18-24 cm. I have a question: how to measure the VDM correctly - in a prone or standing position?

Help me choose the right option for the bathroom. The toilet can only stand in this corner, or remove it altogether. If you leave the toilet, then you want to somehow separate it from the bathroom / sink. What to separate? Here the picture does not add up in any way (

That's how it happened. what all sockets in the apartment will be at a height of 110cm. how did it happen and why? Oh, don't ask that question - she's almost furious herself. But maybe someone also has sockets high.

Girls, good afternoon! Please tell me where is the face and where is the inside? I knit from left to right, with my left hand. I understand that the wrong side is inside. Is it correct that when adding a black thread, these checkmarks are obtained.

Please tell me if anyone has come across this issue. We have been on the waiting list for housing for 14 years, in 2013 we won the court under articles 378 and 817, we were told that they would provide 75 sq. m. meters.

What to be guided by when choosing a model

Before choosing a hygienic shower for a toilet, it is recommended to understand its design features. Some models can only be connected to one pipe, i.e. you need to make a choice - hot or cold water will be. Wall placement suggests that the floor will need to be wiped periodically, because.it will not be possible to completely get rid of the flow of drops. The arrangement of an additional drain to solve this problem will also be labor-intensive.

Video description

About whether you need a hygienic shower and what to look for when choosing it, you can see in this video:

Be sure to pay attention to the material of manufacture when choosing a device. The ideal option would be chrome-plated brass or stainless steel with ceramic inside

Bronze items will be more expensive. But silumin ones are cheap, but not reliable. It is best to purchase products with a quality guarantee. Their choice is very large, and prices mostly range from 1 to 15 thousand rubles.

Manufacturers of the best bathroom showers

• Hansgrohe;
• Damixa;
• Grohe;
• Geberit.

Hygienic shower kit ТМ

The products of these manufacturers will be guaranteed to be of high quality and convenient, however, the cost of such mixers will be appropriate. But many experts are sure that saving in such a case is inappropriate. The purchase of a cheaper and lower quality device, as a rule, leads to its faster breakdown and involuntary expenses for its replacement and related work. Therefore, the quality of the purchased plumbing should directly depend on the complexity of the installation work. It will be quite expensive to replace a leaky gasket or a stripped thread with a built-in installation of the product.

In order not to become a victim of fraud and not to purchase counterfeit products, it is recommended to purchase sanitary ware in salons with a good reputation and with the obligatory availability of the necessary quality certificates for the products offered.

It must be remembered that high-quality products are not made from cheap materials, and their price will be appropriate.

Bidet mixer with hygienic shower

Briefly about the main

A hygienic shower is one of the most convenient ways to carry out post-toilet procedures.

• Small-sized. It can be placed even in the smallest closet without harm to free space.
• In addition to its direct purpose, it is often used for other household needs.
• The choice of a hygienic shower model is purely individual, and depends on the size, layout and design of the toilet room.
• As in the case of other plumbing, it is recommended to purchase only high-quality certified products.
• It is recommended to entrust the installation of this plumbing to a trained specialist, because. Mistakes during installation can lead to big trouble for you and your neighbors. This is especially true for hidden devices.

What is a hygienic toilet shower?

The device is a substitute for a bidet, which is assembled from two plumbing fixtures - a toilet bowl and a mixer. Depending on the cost, the model can be equipped with various additional functions. A hanging toilet with a hygienic shower is the most convenient option. By purchasing it, you can solve several problems in addition to the main one laid down by the manufacturer - cleansing the intimate areas after the toilet.

Initially, this device could be found in the countries of the Middle East, whose inhabitants pay special attention to hygiene. Gradually, the vector of popularity shifted to Europe, and recently the device is gaining popularity in our country

The main feature is its small size, thanks to which the hygienic shower can be installed even in small bathrooms.

What does a hygienic shower look like?

Visually, the product resembles an ordinary shower.The functionality of the hygienic shower device with installation on the toilet is determined by the following elements in the design:

• connecting node with water supply;
• a mixer that helps to obtain the desired temperature at the inlet;
• control knob;
• shower head with a focused jet;
• flexible hose.

Some models are equipped with built-in electronics of various modifications, which increases ease of use. This includes a thermostat - a device designed to mix water that passes through the mixer. Premium products are complemented by an electronic scoreboard that helps you manage the system with one click. Before mounting, it is recommended to deal with the control panel of the device.

Features of a hygienic shower

A hygienic shower for a toilet is an equipment that allows you to perform a procedure directly above the toilet. Accordingly, in terms of functions, this product resembles the usual bidet.

Such a shower consists of several elements.

• A watering can with a locking button, thanks to which water is supplied. Such watering cans differ in the compact sizes and a convenient form.
• Faucet without spout.
• Flexible connecting hose.
• Watering can holder.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the design features of such a shower for the toilet. Here the watering can is connected to the pipe with a hose. A shut-off valve is provided on the handle of the equipment, that is, a button with a built-in spring. For water to flow, you must press this button. The corresponding lever of the mixer will help to adjust the pressure.

This type of toilet equipment has several important advantages.

• Ease of installation. There are several ways to connect, the choice of which, as a rule, depends on personal preferences.The equipment can be connected to a toilet bowl, a riser or a mixer.
• Possibility of fixation on various surfaces.
• Versatility of use. So, you can do personal hygiene or take care of a sick person, a pensioner, a small child. Moreover, with the help of a hygienic shower, it will be possible to wash a baby potty or a pet's tray.
• Thanks to the installation of a watering can, it will be easier to clean the bathroom. You can wash not only the toilet, but also the walls of the toilet.
• An important advantage is the affordable price. Similar products for the toilet are cheaper than various types of bidets.
• Using a hygienic shower, as opposed to a bidet, will save space.
• Thanks to models with additional functionality, it will be possible to save on napkins and toilet paper.

Naturally, this equipment has several disadvantages.

• After using the hygienic shower, water may drip from the shower head for several minutes.
• Children often indulge in this product.
• During operation, water may splash to the sides.
• Some models can only be connected to a water riser.
• The equipment may seem inconvenient for large people and those with limited physical capabilities.

Flaws

The number of negative aspects of a hygienic shower is gaining a lot, but all of them are not critical, but rather far-fetched. The main disadvantages relate to the closed type of installation of equipment and the difficulty of setting a gentle temperature, which, as we know, often depends on pressure drops in the pipeline. Thus, the main disadvantages faced by users depend on the type of equipment installed:

• manual setting adds complexity to the temperature control process;
• built-in products, in the future they threaten to become the reason for the repair of the bathroom;
• the temperature set using a thermostat, a priori, should be equally comfortable for the entire household. That is, you will have to negotiate;
• tight conditions involve the use of two hands. Large people are more likely to face certain challenges;
• low pressure in the pipeline may not have such a negative effect when rinsing the intimate area, but casts doubt on the use of a shower for household purposes.

Mounting Features

It is possible to say specifically how to install a hygienic shower for a toilet bowl only on the spot. Too many different nuances that it is simply impossible to take into account. The principle of connection is simple: supply cold and hot water to the corresponding inputs. That's all. And how to do it, with pipes or flexible piping - the choice is yours. Of course, pipes are more reliable, but high-quality flexible hoses in a good braid can last for years.

There is only one nuance that is worth remembering. When connecting a hygienic shower to hot and cold water (centralized system), we must install ball valves and check valves. Taps are almost always installed, but check valves are often forgotten.

They are needed so that water from the “cold” riser is not mixed into the hot one and vice versa. Usually, just the opposite happens - you open cold water, and boiling water flows from there, but there are also reverse cases - hot water periodically becomes not hot at all. This is all because someone on your riser didn't install a check valve when you connected the hygienic shower to the toilet. The tap was opened, the shower is not used yet, and through the open mixer, water from one riser is mixed into another.Which water goes where depends on where the pressure is higher. Usually higher in hot risers (almost twice), because such cases are more common. But mixing cold is possible. In general, do not forget to put shut-off valves. They cost mere pennies (compared to the cost of equipment), and prevent unpleasant situations and proceedings with an operational campaign and “happy” neighbors.
