The mixer with a watering can: we increase functionality of
Faucets with pull-out or stationary watering can significantly increase the ease of use of plumbing in the bathroom and in the kitchen. It is also possible to use this technology for hygienic purposes, in which case it is installed in the toilet and replaces the bidet.
We will tell you why you need kitchen and shower faucets with a watering can, consider a faucet with a hygienic watering can and talk about the features of their operation.
Pull out spout
On the kitchen
The kitchen is perhaps the most indicative in terms of demonstrating the capabilities and functions of a mixer with a watering can. If you at least sometimes do the dishes and cook your own food, you can easily imagine what is being said.
The kitchen sink is intended mainly for washing dishes and food:
- meat,
- fruits,
- vegetables.
Therefore, the sink has increased depth and roomy dimensions. In order to place as many objects as possible and large-sized dishes into the bowl of the sink, the gander of the mixer is made long and high.
However, this form of tap creates a problem when water with a high pressure falls from a height to the bottom of the bowl and produces an unpleasant noise.
In addition, everyone was faced with a situation where a jet from a great height falls on the concave surface of a plate or spoon, as a result of which the whole fountain and spray sprinkles the whole kitchen and, above all, its owner.
If we reduce the size of the gander and lower its spout as low as possible, we will not be able to place a large pan under it. Here we are confronted with the first and main advantage of a retractable crane.
Note! Retractable spout allows you to use a low crane, and in case of need washing large-sized dishes, simply lift it to the required height.
Using a pull-out spout, it is convenient to wash fruits and vegetables, especially when the sink has two sections. As required, you simply push the watering can, expose the type of jet you need and direct it directly to the area in which you prefer to work.
Finally, there are situations when it is necessary to take water in a bucket or a large-sized pan-pan, which does not physically fit in the sink. In this case, it is not necessary to run to the bathroom: it is enough to reach the hose and direct the water jet to the tank next to the sink.
So, the functions and benefits of an extendable spout are obvious:
- There is no need for a high position of the gander spout, which causes noise and splashes;
- It is convenient to wash the overall dishes, while you do not need to substitute it under the stream and rotate it with different sides, it is enough to direct the jet to the desired area;
- There is an opportunity to comfortably use the sink with two sections;
- You can get water not only in the sink, but also in the tank, located next to it - on the floor or tabletop.
The watering can for the kitchen mixer can have different designs:
- Spout is integrated into the body of the crane and is the bow of the gander, if necessary, disconnecting with a slight movement. Suitable for small sinks and kitchens;
- The watering can is located in a separate nest next to the main tap. Special spring keeps it in the most comfortable position.. This variety is considered semi-professional and is suitable for public kitchens or kitchens serving large families;
- Spout is made in the form of a shower with the ability to switch jet types. All or part of the tap can be completely disconnected.
Note! Crane with retractable hose is best suited for the kitchen, as it is the most fully realized its capabilities.
In the bathroom
In the bathroom, a retractable faucet increases the possibilities and convenience of hygienic procedures. For example, you need to quickly wash your head without using a shower (probably everyone remembers how “convenient” it is to do it under an ordinary gander) or take water into a bucket for washing floors.
However, shower faucets with a stand and a watering can have become very popular. During water procedures, there is often a desire to direct the jet to a specific area of the body, since it is not always convenient to wriggle under the upper stream.
At the same time, it is not so easy to disconnect the shower, especially for people of small stature or with limited physical abilities.
A separate watering can solves all these problems, in addition, you do not have to reach the ceiling every time to wash your feet or rinse the bath. In addition, frequent manipulations with the shower quickly lead to its breakdowns, the hose wears out and starts to leak.
Note! The detachable spout is applicable in the bathroom and significantly improves the comfort of water treatments.
Toilet use
Finally, technology is used for personal hygiene in the toilet. A toilet faucet with a hygienic watering can replaces a well-known bidet when installing a separate bowl is impossible due to the small size of the room or if the price of a high-grade appliance is too high for you.
Compared to a standard bidet, a hose with a shower nozzle loses in the level of comfort, especially for people with high body mass and old people who find it uncomfortable to rise. However, in most apartments it is simply nowhere to install a separate bidet, and it is too expensive to change the existing toilet.
Also, the hose with a nozzle can be used for washing shoes or toilet bowls, a set of water for cleaning floors and other similar purposes.
Note! It is better to use a system with a thermostat that will automatically adjust the pre-set comfort temperature. The pressure and pressure of water in the pipes can vary, as a result, too hot or cold water can be obtained at the outlet, which for obvious reasons is completely unacceptable.
Conclusion
Installing a crane with a retractable hose seems appropriate for many reasons, especially since the installation instructions do not differ from the standard. The video in this article will help you see this.
