Shower bidet. A hygienic toilet shower with a mixer: what types are there and independent installation. What the market has to offer

Not all bathrooms allow you to install a bidet, and the level of comfort after appropriate manipulations is completely different. But for those who do not have space to install an additional bowl, there are several different ways to make a hygienic shower for the toilet. Some methods are costly, while others are quite affordable for middle-income families.

Toilet bidet shower - there are several options

What the market has to offer

It is certainly convenient to have a bidet in the bathroom, but not every apartment can install it. But this does not mean that a small bathroom is a reason to refuse such a procedure. There are several different ways to organize the conditions for this procedure:

All of the above methods are good. But it is the faucet for the hygienic shower that is the most attractive solution. There are models for the installation of which no repairs and complex manipulations are required. You can connect the device to an existing system, or you can put a mixer with a special tap on the sink, to which you can connect a hygienic shower head. We will talk further about the types of these devices and the features of their connection.

Pros and cons vs. bidet

As for what is more convenient - a pair of toilet bowl + bidet or a hygienic shower for the toilet bowl, there is no need to argue. Everyone decides for himself. Let's take a quick look at the main pros and cons of both devices:

Oddly enough, it is the last fact that is often decisive - an additional bonus in the form of extended functionality is always pleasant. The advantages of showers include the possibility of organizing for relatively little money. But this is about devices with a mixer.

Types of hygienic showers with mixer

According to the installation method, there are two types of faucets for hygienic showers with faucets:

• for the sink;
• wall
  • internal installation
  • outdoor installation.

Each of these options has pros and cons.

On the sink

If you put a hygienic shower on the sink, installation becomes much easier. All that is needed in this case is to replace the mixer. It has a separate outlet to which a flexible hose with a watering can is connected. All you need to do is install the holder on the wall. The location of the sink is also important in this case. Ideally, you can reach the tap without getting up. Since such models have the following peculiarity of work: first, the tap on the washbasin is turned on, the water temperature is set on it. The water naturally flows into the sink. When you press a button on the shower, the tap is blocked, water flows through the watering can. As soon as the key was released, water poured back into the sink. This is how it works.

Installing a hygienic shower on a sink - easy and simple

Concealed wall mounted

If you chose the wall-mounted option, the complexity of the installation depends on how you plan to install it. Often there is a niche in the bathroom or toilet, in which all communications are hidden. Often it is located behind the toilet or somewhere nearby. In this case, you can connect the connection there, and install the mixer on the panel or come up with some other option.

Regular installation provides for wall slitting, laying hot and cold water supply pipes in the grooves and, at the final stage, installing the mixer itself.

Surface mounted wall (with thermostat)

These are not all varieties. There is also a hygienic shower with a mixer that is connected only to cold water. This does not mean that the procedures are carried out with cold water. It's just that a flow-through electric heater is installed in the body. Such models are only for outdoor installation, since the thermostat cannot be walled into the wall. Water connection - using a flexible hose, the device itself is attached to the wall with dowels or other suitable fasteners.

The temperature is set on the regulator, it is kept exactly. Only immediately after switching on, you need to wait for a while - a few seconds until the heating element warms up. A very good option for those who do not have hot water in the toilet (or at all). Yes, do not forget that these models require a mains connection.

An interesting installation option without shtrobing in the next video - the liner is laid over the walls, but closed with a box. It also has a holder for a watering can. It is worth paying attention to those who do not foresee repairs in the toilet or bathroom.

Where to put

The installation height of the toilet shower is almost arbitrary. The only requirement is that the mixer must be installed above the toilet. There are no other restrictions.

The place of installation is absolutely arbitrary, the main criterion is ease of use, which is difficult to achieve in the conditions of small bathrooms. Therefore, we recommend that, before making a final decision, think over everything well and do all the actions with the watering can. This is the only way to be sure that it will be really convenient to use.

Installation features

Specifically, you can only say how to install a hygienic shower for the toilet on the spot. There are too many different nuances that are simply impossible to take into account. The connection principle is simple: supply cold and hot water to the corresponding inlets. That's all. And how to do it, pipes or flexible liners - the choice is yours. Of course, pipes are more reliable, but high-quality flexible hoses in a good braid can serve for years.

There is only one thing to remember. When connecting a hygienic shower to hot and cold water (centralized system), be sure to install ball valves and check valves. Cranes are installed almost always, but check valves are often forgotten.

This is a check valve. During installation, unfold so that the arrow on the body coincides with the direction of the water flow

They are needed so that water from the "cold" riser is not mixed into the hot one and vice versa. Usually the opposite happens - you open cold water, and boiling water flows from there, but there are also opposite cases - hot water periodically becomes not hot at all. This is all because someone on your riser did not put a check valve when connecting a hygienic shower to the toilet. The tap was opened, the shower is not yet used, 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), therefore such cases are more common. But mixing with cold is also possible. In general, do not forget to install check valves. They cost mere pennies (compared to the cost of the equipment), and prevent unpleasant situations and proceedings with the operational campaign and "satisfied" neighbors.

The mixer with a hygienic shower is a convenient and easy-to-install device. A good choice of the device will allow you to carry out procedures quickly and comfortably. The device does not take up much space, which is an important factor in small apartments. Apartments in multi-storey buildings have a small bathroom. It is impossible to place all the equipment for hygiene procedures on such an area. A hygienic shower with a mixer would be a good option. You can even install it in a tiny room. Such a device will significantly transform the design of the washroom.

Shower devices are of different types. The choice of a shower is based on the design features of the mechanism, the layout of the bath, toilet. These factors affect the complexity of installation and ease of use. The shower toilet is a traditional toilet with a built-in hot water nozzle. It is installed either on a retractable toilet fitting or on the body. But in order to put a bidet, you will need to replace the existing device, supply water and install a mixer.

A bidet cover is a device that can be used to equip an old toilet. The bidet cover can be electric or non-electric. Electric kits usually have a hair dryer and a water heater. Installing a non-electrical product is easy. You only need to put a tee on the feed. But in this version, a cold stream will be used for the hygiene procedure. Using a bidet in this version is not comfortable.

Wall mounted shower: This is the device we are used to using for the bath, but there are still a few differences. The watering can is slightly smaller and has a shut-off valve. You can put it both on the toilet and separately on the wall. In the second case, a separate niche can be provided for the supply and installation of a hidden mixer. If you plan to use cold water, you just need to adjust the tee.

Hygienic shower with thermostat: a feature of the device with a thermostat is that once you set the desired temperature, you will constantly receive comfortably warm water for the necessary procedures. With a thermostat, intimate treatments are much faster.

Device and design features

A similar set is a miniature watering can with a button. Pressing it allows water to flow. Otherwise, there will be no flow from the watering can. Even if the mixer is open.

This feature helps to avoid "leaks" after disconnection. The watering can itself is attached to the hose. That, in turn, to the mixer or shower outlet. If the toilet is supposed to have a sink, you can connect a shower to it. In this case, it will be possible to use both the shower and the spout.

Many consider it inexpedient to install such a system in a bathroom. But before you finally reject this idea, you should think about the positive aspects:

• It is convenient to use, since a hygienic shower is mounted near the toilet, you can solve all problems, as they say, "without leaving the cash register";
• It can improve the toilet design. Bronze, from which some shower types are made, lends elegance. If you strive to make a classic, austere interior, bronze in the room is something that will emphasize nobility, delicate taste, in addition, such a metal as bronze will protect the mixer parts from corrosion
• Simple installation: to cope with such work is quite within their power and on their own. The easiest installation method is to connect the shower to the sink mixer;
• Versatility: the equipment can be used not only for personal hygiene, but also, for example, to wash a baby pot or cat's litter box. If you are installing a shower with a thermostat, you do not need to constantly adjust the water temperature.

Types of hygienic shower

Such a kit is mounted quite simply. But there are some peculiarities depending on the type of mixer.

Valve

This is one of the most popular bath and hygienic shower mixers. Its peculiarity is the fact that the volume of water is controlled by a valve cock. Mixing of hot and cold flow occurs. As a result, the water at the outlet has the required temperature.

But this kit has one significant drawback. It cannot maintain the desired temperature when the flow pressure changes. You also need to install a check valve on the pipes. It will prevent incorrect mixing of water in the event of a change in its pressure... In addition, you will need to install a faucet that will be responsible for supplying warm water to the watering can. As a rule, the installation of such a mixer is carried out in a specially made niche.

Lever

This type of faucet is a wall-mounted lever that controls the temperature and water pressure. Depending on how the lever is located (horizontally or vertically), one of the processes is adjusted.

The vertical arrangement is responsible for the pressure of water entering the watering cans, horizontal, for its temperature. The main advantage of such a mixer is, first of all, ease of use. This option does not provide for the installation of an additional crane.

The thermostatic shower is considered the most modern. In this case, you need to set the most acceptable temperature once and these values \u200b\u200bwill be saved for all subsequent use. That is, next time nothing needs to be regulated. It will be enough just to turn on the lever. The water temperature is set automatically by the thermostat, regardless of the flow pressure in the pipes.

How to install

This wall-mounted apparatus is installed in the toilet near the toilet. If you decide to put a hygienic shower after repairing the room, it is worthwhile to foresee the presence of this plumbing in this room in advance. That is, one should take into account the design of the toilet, the location of the toilet, sink, bath, and the technical aspects of the installation itself. In this option, you can do without additional structures.

In the case when nothing will change in the room, you will have to create a special plumbing cabinet. This method is inconvenient in that each time the temperature of the water in the bidet or sink spout is adjusted, this device will have to be opened. This problem can be solved only by installing a wall-mounted shower with a thermostat. In this case, everything will happen automatically.

Concealed hygienic shower installation technology

The installation of a hygienic shower is the same as for a bath. The difference is that the built-in mixer is mounted inward on the wall, and only a watering can, an eyeliner and a lever remain on the surface. This installation looks neat. This arrangement will suit any washroom design solution. In addition, a lot of space is saved compared to a bidet.

The components of a hygienic shower include:

• Mixer;
• Lever arm;
• Hose;
• Solid or collapsible parts of the watering can.

Installation sequence:

1. First, you need to cut a small niche in the wall;
2. After that, you will need to make two grooves for supplying water to the mixer in a hidden way. One to bring water to the mixer; the second, to divert the flow and supply to the hose;
3. Further, a hidden mixer is mounted in a niche;
4. In the next step, pipes are connected to the mixer. To avoid leakage, the joints should be sealed with gaskets;
5. Then we check for leaks. If it doesn't drip anywhere, the niche hides behind the tiles;
6. After that, a lever, a hose, a watering can is installed on the wall;
7. To fix the lever, you need to unscrew the retainer, which is located under the plug, with a hexagon;
8. Then you need to put on a screen and a cap. These decorative details will add an aesthetic look to the structure and hide the gap between the tile and the mixer;
9. Next, the hose connection must be screwed into the outlet;
10. Then you need to tighten the balancing ring and put on the cap. We screw the watering can to the hose.

How to install the bidet cover?

This kit is placed on the toilet. It does not need additional space, and therefore the installation does not require further cosmetic repairs. But for the installation of a bidet cover, certain rules must be observed:

1. First you need to close the valve to shut off the water supply to the tank;
2. Then all the water is drained;
3. It is necessary to remove the hose supplying water to the tank;
4. Remove the old cover;
5. Put a tee;
6. Use a hose to connect the tee and the toilet tank;
7. At the next stage, the bolt must be inserted into the plugs, then into the base plate;
8. Next, we connect this plate with the main element of the product;
9. Install the mechanism by inserting the bolts into the special holes on the plumbing;
10. From below, the bolts are fixed with seals, washers;
11. Then you need to connect the mixer to the tee and check the water supply.

Bidet cover for water

How to connect to the sink?

If you have a sink or a bathtub in the washroom, you can connect a shower to its mixer. This will greatly simplify the installation, but with this option, you will have to change the existing bath mixer to a device with 3 outlets. One will be for using the sink spout, the other for the shower, the third outlet connects the device to the water supply.

A connected washbasin mixer with a hygienic shower works in this way: by turning the lever, the flow is directed to the center of the sink through the spout, into the shower hose. There it is held back by a shut-off valve and only after pressing the button, water begins to pour from the shower and stops flowing to the sink spout.

Shower circuit for connecting to the sink

Which model is better?

When choosing a device, it is better to give preference to brands that have proven themselves in the sanitary ware market. Famous brands for bath and shower are: Grohe, Hansgrohe, Geberit. Please note: if you want to install the hygienic shower independently or adapt to the sink mixer. Very often, buyers choose kits made of such metals as bronze.Such products emphasize the interior and create a light touch of antiquity. Bronze indicates the delicate taste of the host.

To prevent corrosion of the material, hygienic mixers are made of stainless metals; bronze is used in expensive models. The watering can itself is made of plastic and chrome plated. This kit is lightweight, practical and looks beautiful. The watering can is equipped with rubber holes that direct water and do not form drips and splashes. The hose is made of plastic, which makes the product flexible and ensures comfortable use of the device. Expensive models have a hose protected from breakage by metal inserts.

Specialized outlets offer customers a varied assortment of bidets. Various shapes, innovations, variations allow you to choose the right option, suitable for your bath, toilet. A hygienic shower with a thermostat is a good purchase that justifies the funds. Having installed the device, you can easily take care of hygiene, as comfortable procedures will not take much time.

Hygienic shower set

Such a compact sanitary product, which is perfect for a small apartment, includes a shower head with a special control button, a hose, a holder (attachment) for a watering head, a mixer - the latter is not always included in the standard package. The main difference between the watering can and the usual one is the presence of a shut-off valve on the handle. The wall holder always comes with the shower head. a faucet with a hygienic shower or another type of product is almost always placed on the wall.

As for the material of manufacture, it must be environmentally friendly, of high quality and not amenable to corrosive processes. Most showers are made from brass / stainless steel or other chrome-plated material. The flexible shower hose has a metal sheath, and the shower heads are made of plastic with a special metal / paint coating.

Kinds

If you decide to use a special shower for hygiene procedures with or without additional functions, then first of all, familiarize yourself with its sanitary structures. Each model can be made with a different set, so initially choose an option for yourself that stands out for its ease of use. Today there are four varieties:

1. A shower with a special mixer that can be installed in a combined bathroom or where it is possible to build in a sink with a tap.
2. Wall-mounted version - differs from other models in that the device is mounted directly on the wall near the toilet. In this case, the watering can is attached with a special holder.
3. Built-in shower. This model includes a special panel that is attached to the wall, and the mixer is installed directly behind it.
4. Option with a thermostat, the presence of which eliminates the constant regulation of cold / hot water.

Benefits

Having decided that you need a toilet with a hygienic shower, keep in mind that any models of such a sanitary product will look quite compact and modern, which is a big plus for a small toilet. Another advantage of such a device is that it is convenient to use it for washing, all the more, the liquid supply, if you purchase a mixer, will be carried out both from the cold and hot water supply systems. Other pluses of the equipment include:

• multifunctionality in application;
• affordable price;
• ease of installation;
• the possibility of installation in almost any place.

disadvantages

If you are interested in a hygienic type shower and a watering can in the toilet, then before starting to get acquainted with the catalog of available models, check out all the disadvantages. Although this plumbing fixture is a convenient option, however, it involves the analysis of some part of the finish when installing a hidden option. After that, you need to do the bathroom renovation. In addition, to use it, you need a constant, good water pressure, i.e. pressure. In separate bathrooms, it becomes necessary to purchase a thermostat.

How to use

Such a bidet head with a shower hose is practically no different from a regular shower. The main difference is that it has a button-valve that shuts off the water. If you install this device correctly and correctly place the mixer, then washing will be easier compared to using a bidet. With a flexible hose, you can easily wash your private parts.

Faucet for hygienic shower

If instead of installing a bidet, you decide to use a hygienic shower that is suitable for any size of the bathroom, then take care of purchasing a mixer in advance. With this product, you will adjust the water temperature - the single-lever option is considered the simplest. Depending on the mounting method, the mixer can be wall-mounted and connected to a sink with a tap. In addition, there are concealed and outdoor faucets. The former are wall-mounted panels, the latter are pipe-mounted models.

Installing a hygienic shower in the toilet

There are several ways to install this sanitary fixture, each of which is suitable for different washroom sizes. The main thing is to choose an option that will simplify the washing procedure. The easiest way to connect this system is to a sink with a tap. The watering can in this case is located between the sink and the toilet lid. In order to prolong the operation of the shower after that, do not forget to turn off the water after turning off the button, otherwise the shut-off valve in the shower will be under high pressure. Other mounting methods:

• Option for installing a shower in a toilet with a toilet only. In terms of both labor costs and cost, this method is cheap - you only need to install a plumbing fixture relative to the toilet, for example, on the same wall behind it.
• Hidden installation method. With this option, the eyeliner is hidden in the wall, and on its surface there is only a watering can, a hose, a control panel. True, due to the analysis of part of the finish, a small repair of the bathroom will be required.
• Another way involves connecting the shower directly to the toilet. In this case, it becomes necessary to manufacture a special wiring.
• The installation method with a thermostat differs little from the wall mounting and concealed version. In contrast to them, the built-in mixer has a special outlet - an element through which water flows. The hose is connected to it.

Installation height

To install a hygienic shower correctly, you need to decide on a suitable height for its location. In this case, the sink is installed in advance so as not to be mistaken with the chosen place. In most cases, this product is not placed too high because used not only for hygiene procedures, but also for filling containers with water, cleaning the toilet. The optimal height, according to the opinions of experts and user reviews, is considered to be a distance of 80-85 cm from the floor.

Connection

Regardless of whether you purchased this type of plumbing at a low or high price, you will need to connect it correctly. When all the pipes have been laid and the finishing work is completed, you will need to connect the mixer with a thermostat to the cold and hot water outlets. Tighten the nuts carefully to avoid leaks, but be careful not to strip the threads. Further actions:

1. Screw a hose with a shower head to the outlet of the thermostat / mixer using a union nut.
2. Take a drill bit over the tiles, carefully make a socket - diameter 6-8 mm, depth 60 mm.
3. Drive a dowel into the made socket, then fix the holder for the watering can with the anchor.
4. At the last stage, turn on the water supply, check the tightness of all connections, set a comfortable water temperature.

How to choose a hygienic shower

Choosing a model that can be bought in an online store or at a specialized outlet should be taken seriously. Look for the right type of sanitary ware according to your preferences. Please note that the shower head and bidet should not be too wide, otherwise the pressure will not be pinpoint. Check the integrity of the hose, which is made of plastic / rubber and covered with metal. You can choose a multifunctional mixer that has an additional outlet / temperature controller.

Price

The German manufacturer Grohe sells quality bidets with hygienic type showers at an affordable price. Another company from Germany, Hansgrohe, is launching built-in models that are distinguished by high cost, but at the same time have a longer service life. Another good option is Hong Kong-based company Bossini, which sells a concealed faucet and wall-mounted shower.

The culture of hygiene is developing by leaps and bounds. The phrase "cleanliness is the guarantee of health" is relevant at any time. A person always wants to keep his body clean. A mixer equipped with a hygienic shower, designed to be installed in close proximity to the toilet, can replace a full-fledged bidet.

Positive aspects of a hygienic shower

Going to the shower too often is thought to be just as harmful as neglecting it. From constant exposure to soap products (shampoos, shower gels, soaps), the skin suffers primarily. It dries up and becomes more sensitive to various stimuli. That is why the Europeans have introduced the bidet bowl into the list of the most necessary elements of everyday life.

The bidet takes up quite a lot of space, so its installation in a small bathroom is often impossible

The layout of modern apartments in our country allows the installation of any type of sanitary equipment. Bathrooms in European-style residential buildings are planned to be quite spacious. But what about the residents of "Soviet" type buildings? For such connoisseurs of personal hygiene, there is also a way out: installing a mixer equipped with a hygienic watering can, or a toilet with a built-in bidet function.

Most often in multi-apartment "Khrushchev" you can find it is a hygienic shower. This popularity is due to several points that distinguish it favorably from a stationary bidet:

In addition, a wide range of design solutions from mixer manufacturers will allow you to choose the option of a hygienic shower for any style from retro to.

Toilet bowls with bidet function

In order to save space, manufacturers of sanitary ware have started making compacts with a bidet function. This avoids the installation of a hygienic bowl, but has some features and installation difficulties.

Toilet with bidet function

Toilets with a built-in hygienic shower have a much more complex mechanism than conventional compacts. Some are equipped with retractable water nozzles and push buttons. A little simpler - a retracted branch pipe with nozzles that work when you press the release button.

Plumbing equipment with a built-in bidet implies connecting a cold and hot water supply system to it. Of course, you can do only with cold water, but will the effect of maximum comfort be achieved when using such a device?

Diagram: the principle of operation of a toilet with a bidet function

Progress does not stand still. Among the simple plumbing, you can find very unusual designs. This includes a toilet lid with a built-in mixer for hygienic purposes. These seats are also equipped with a hairdryer and a control unit. The prices for such products speak for themselves, but this can become an indispensable assistant for people with disabilities.

Advice! When choosing complex plumbing fixtures, you should give preference to proven brands that guarantee product quality.

The main disadvantage of plumbing with built-in bidets, hairdryer and other benefits is the very high cost of the product. But even it cannot match the degree of comfort that these devices provide.

Varieties of hygiene systems for the toilet

Among all systems equipped with a hygienic shower that can be used to equip a bathroom, several main types can be distinguished:

Wall mounted shower

The most common type of equipment is a mini bidet. The system includes 4 main components:

• mixer;
• shower hose;
• watering can-bidet;
• wall mount.

Wall-mounted hygienic shower for the bathroom

As a rule, the mixer is installed with the marking “for bidets and showers”. They have no outlet for filling the bathtub and at start-up, the water is directed directly into the shower system. According to the principle of installing the mixer, this type of mini-bidet can be divided into 2 more subspecies:

• with a concealed mixer, when on the wall surface there is only a joystick for controlling the water supply and a separate outlet for the bidet hose;
• with an open-type mixer - the mixer-hose-watering can is located in an open space.

Open type mixer

Toilet bidet attachment

Quite a rare system. It is a unit mounted directly on the toilet bowl. The range of mixer taps in supermarkets is presented in a complete set:

• a platform for installing a mixer, equipped with a mount for a watering can;
• mixer;
• shower hose;
• shower head;
• branch pipes for hot and cold water supply.

Toilet bidet attachment

The faucet is similar to the washbasin model. The difference is the spout. Instead of an aerator, from which water enters the sink, the product has a threaded connection. A hygienic shower is screwed onto it during the installation process.

Washbasin combination mixer

Such a system is common. The faucet installed on the washbasin has an additional outlet that connects it to the mini-bidet shower system. There is a branch pipe on the bottom of the product in close proximity to the water supply hoses. Sometimes the manufacturer completes the mixer with a special adapter, in the form of a tee. It is screwed onto the spout, and a shower hose is mounted to the auxiliary opening.

Connecting the mini shower to the main mixer

When choosing a hygienic shower system, you need to think through all the details. If the repair in the bathroom has already been completed, and the user has decided to equip the room with a mini-bidet with a built-in mixer, you must be aware that the area in which the installation work will be carried out will have to be dismantled. In this case, the best option would be to output an open mixer.

Council. The hose for the bidet system is not very long. To avoid twisting and creases, 100-125 cm will be sufficient. Depending on the location of the mixer.

In some cases, a small bathroom is equipped with a small washstand, no more than 45 cm wide. The corner sink installed above the toilet will be most convenient. Such a trick will not only allow you to install a mixer with a mini-bidet system, but also make it possible to carry out other hygienic procedures.

Functional features of the bidet shower

Many people don't know the difference between shower heads and mini bidets. Unlike its prototype showerhead, the hygienic head has a number of design features.

Important! It is strongly not recommended to leave hygiene systems under pressure. This is especially harmful for the watering can. A large number of valves and connection systems may not withstand constant pressure and the product will fail and fail. After use, be sure to shut off the water with a mixer or other shut-off devices.

Installing a mixer with a hygienic shower head on a sink

This type of work is not much different from installing a conventional washbasin faucet. There should not be any particular difficulties if you follow the algorithm for performing actions. Self-installation is possible. For this we need:

• mixer equipped with an additional outlet for a shower hose;
• hygienic shower system (hose, watering can, mount);
• mounting kit for installing the mixer (mounting stud, nut, pressure ring, seals), which is supplied with the mixer;

Sink-mounted hygienic shower

• flexible hoses for connecting to the water supply;
• taps for shutting off cold and hot water;
• adjustable wrench (preferably small);
• set of open-end wrenches.

Follow the installation algorithm:

Important! Do not neglect the seals. Their absence will lead to leakage.

During installation, use only high quality connecting hoses and seals. The period of continuous operation of the entire system as a whole depends on them. It is better to immediately replace the hoses for supplying water to the mixer with which the product was equipped with better ones. This will protect yourself from the flood.

Installing a concealed mixer

The installation of a hygienic system with a concealed mixer is much more complicated than installation on a washbasin. Here you cannot do without drilling a wall or making a special box in which the inside of the product will be hidden.

Concealed mixer

It is best to entrust the work of such complexity to a specialist, but if you try, you can do the installation yourself. To carry out such work, several main stages can be distinguished:

Advice! When buying a concealed mixer, pay attention to the presence of an installation box. With it, you can facilitate the installation process.

Set the manual bidet according to the physiology of each user. Do not mount the mixer too low or too high. To achieve the maximum comfort from using the system, check the usability. A person should not reach for a mixer or watering can.

A hygienic shower is additional comfort that you can easily create with your own hands

The mini-bidet system for the toilet is a very important element of sanitary equipment. It will allow you to perform hygienic manipulations without moving to the bath or shower. A hygienic shower is a very convenient and functional attachment to the basic elements of plumbing.

Installation of a hygienic shower: photo

In Soviet times, few in Russia heard of such a hygienic device as a bidet. And they used it even less. But now more and more people are trying to install it in their homes and apartments. If the area allows, then there will be no problems with such an installation, but what if the area of \u200b\u200bthe toilet is small? In this case, a hygienic toilet shower with a mixer can be a good solution. It will not take up space, but such a device will perform all the functions of a bidet perfectly. Today we will try to figure out how this can be done, how to use it and what is required for this.

The device for this design is quite simple. It is a flexible hose with a watering can, connected to hot and cold. The drain is connected to the toilet, and the shower itself is attached to the wall or cistern. Although individual designs may look different.

The hygienic shower itself in the toilet can perform more than just the function of a bidet. It is also convenient if there is a need to draw water into any large container, which cannot be done from. And it will be much more convenient to wash the toilet itself or the bathroom sink with its help.

It is best to buy a ready-made shower in the store - this will be the easiest solution. Moreover, these days there are a lot of different versions. However, even a novice home master is quite capable of making it himself. The main thing to consider is the water supply button. If available, only the initial setting of the comfortable temperature is required. And even with subsequent applications, this will not be necessary, which is quite convenient.

The shower holder can be positioned on the edge, on the wall or. The main task is that the watering can itself can be easily reached with your hand without getting up.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing a hygienic shower in the toilet

There are enough positive aspects of such an attitude. The main ones are:

• Bidet function without sacrificing space and installing additional devices;
• Convenience of hygienic processing of the sink and toilet;
• Low cost - such equipment will be available to any segment of the population;
• No need for additional tie-in into the sewer pipe;
• Simplicity of construction;
• The device provides the convenience of caring for small children.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then they are not so specific. In fact, if a hygienic shower with a mixer is not installed, then they will not disappear anywhere. Of these, they note the lack of ease of use by overweight people, the need for two-handed action and problems with setting a comfortable temperature.

If you think about it, such an installation in small bathrooms becomes the only way out for many. In this case, it does not matter whether it is combined with a toilet or two separate rooms. However, whether to install such equipment or not - everyone will have to decide independently. There is no point in advising here, and we can only tell you about the details and facts.

How to use a hygienic shower in the toilet

There is a lot of advice from those who consider themselves experts in this field. However, as doctors say, the key word here is "use." And it does not matter how a person should position himself at the same time. The main thing is that he is comfortable enough.

On the Internet, you can find many illustrations on this topic, but how many people, so many opinions. After all, it often turns out that one person is comfortable with his back to the cistern during hygienic procedures, but this does not suit another. This means that everyone will choose for himself how best to perform these actions.

What a hygienic shower for a toilet consists of: system complete set

Such hygiene bidet attachment kits consist of four main parts:

• , to which cold and hot water is supplied;
• Shower hose;
• Hygienic watering canwhich has a water supply button;
• Special mounting plateon which the shower is suspended.

The shower head should have a special button - it's a matter of convenience. After all, adjusting the water every time is inconvenient. In addition, its consumption will increase significantly. If you set it up only for the first time, and the rest of the time you use the button that opens the supply, then the temperature will always be at a certain comfortable level. Of course, small deviations will be due to the operation of the central water supply system of an apartment building, but most often they are insignificant.

The shower hose should be comfortable with the expectation of reaching all corners of the room that require periodic. This will provide more functionality.

Where can you install a toilet shower with mixer

Before you buy a shower for a bidet (wall-mounted or any other type), you need to figure out the place of its installation. There may be several options. These devices are mounted directly on the toilet, on the side or back wall. Less often, it is mounted on the side of the cistern itself. If the bathroom is combined (and the toilet is in the same room) and there is a sink next to the toilet, then the holder for a hygienic shower head can be fixed on the cabinet.

If it is difficult to determine the installation height, then you can calculate everything in a practical way. We proceed as follows. The person who will use the shower more often than others, or exactly the one for whom all this is being done, sits on the toilet and, closing his eyes, purely intuitively pulls his hand wherever it is convenient for him from the side or behind him. At what height the hand will be in contact with a wall or curbstone and a mark is made. This simple action will help you choose the most convenient location for the shower head.

Types of hygiene systems: devices of a similar type designed to replace the bidet

There are many types of hygiene systems, which differ in their location and some design features. Moreover, some of the modern models practically do not require constant adjustments. There are even those that have electronic pushbutton or touch controls. Now let's try to understand what the pros and cons are of this or that type, what differences they have in management and how to determine the one that is needed for a particular user.

Universal bidet-attachment for the toilet and its features

Sink mixer with hygienic spray

The faucet for a hygienic washbasin shower is a little different from the usual one. It can be compared to one that is installed on a bathtub and has the function of switching the directions of water supply. The difference between them is that a special valve will play the function of switching flows in a sink mixer for such a watering can. Now we will consider this in the photo examples.

Illustration	Some explanations
	As you can see, outwardly, a mixer designed for such purposes is no different. The whole difference lies in the introduction of water into it and the distribution of the direction of its flows.
	The set includes a special gasket, which cannot be left without. Indeed, in such a device, even a small deviation from the size can play a role
	The tee that comes with the mixer is responsible for the redistribution of water. A special valve is installed inside it. We will tell about his role below.
	The mixer is mounted in the same way as a conventional one. Particular attention should be paid to the tightening of the connections. In modern devices, they are quite fragile, and therefore if you drag them over, they will burst. But too loose a tightening is unacceptable - it will lead to a leak
	A watering can is installed last. When the mixer tap is open, pressure will build up in the shower hose and water will only flow into the sink. When you press the button, the valve in the tee is activated, and the water goes only to the watering can. On the tap at this time, its flow is blocked

Bidet shower with concealed mixer

Surely it will not be difficult for a home craftsman to assemble an internal mixer. However, a few guidelines would be helpful.

Illustration	Some explanations
	This is the very mechanism that controls the temperature of the supplied water. In some models it can be replaced by a thermostat
	Its protruding part will be framed by decorative overlays and a control knob
	These are the hot and cold water hoses. They will walk behind the false wall
	Next, you need to connect the watering can holder, which is also a water squeegee. Its main part is also located on the visible side of the false wall.
	This will be the direction of the water flow during the operation of the watering can

As you can understand, such work will not be particularly difficult.

0661750461v, Belarus: It seems that the thing is not the most important thing in the bathroom or restroom. And why pay a fabulous price for it? But having saved once and bought a cheap watering can for a hygienic shower, I could not even imagine how wrong I was. At one fine moment, the button that squeezes the water supply weakened and I, without knowing it, flooded the neighbors from below and ended up on a lot of money. After that, I happily parted with quite a lot of money and gave it to a Groe watering can. She has been working for me for five years and has never let me down. The holes are not clogged, the button works like new, the coating also shines like new. I'm happy. I advise everyone.
