Saving space in the bathroom - toilet combined with a bidet

Thanks to the development of civilization, many areas of our life have improved significantly, for example, hygiene products. Of the various inventions can be noted bidet, which, despite the convenience, is not yet very popular. The main reason is the small area of ​​the bathroom.

However, the manufacturers decided to meet the users and saved them from installing a separate sanitary equipment by making a combined toilet. Below we consider this construction in more detail.

What is called a bidet

Most of us, most likely, in the films we saw another device being installed in the toilet room next to the toilet - a small sink with a fountain. Such a bath is called a bidet, which serves to wash away (easily allows you to wash delicate places).

Doctors say that using a bidet faucet on the toilet, you can gradually lower the temperature of the water, which will have a good effect on your health in the future, and will serve as prevention of the development of hemorrhoids.

Today, along with stationary devices, other constructive solutions are offered, including:

• bidet cover;
• device built into the toilet;
• hose with a "watering can", placed separately.

Each option has its own design advantages and disadvantages.

Tip: if in the bathroom you want to install two devices, the distance between the bidet and the toilet according to GOST should be 300 mm.

Traditional and combined with a bidet sanitary fixture is:

• a toilet with a series of placed hygienic shower with a watering can;
• or a device equipped with a nozzle (evidence) built into its side.

Tip: You can purchase the option with retractable fitting (spout), which can travel for greater comfort and ease of use.

To use a bidet and a toilet in one device is to refuse to use toilet paper, as it will not be necessary to wash delicate parts and with the drying mode. The temperature of the water is usually regulated by a thermostat, there are also more advanced models in which you can adjust not only it, but also the pressure separately for everyone in the family.

Premium devices may have other additional features:

1. Microlift - allows you to smoothly and without a screen to close the lid of the toilet.
2. Thickening ventilation - held when you sit down on the device.
3. Pendulum movement choke - for washing with water in front.
4. IR sensor, signaling the presence of "user".
5. Drying - A hairdryer is used to blow warm air around delicate places.
6. Massage - occurs due to the pulsation of the jet.
7. Self-cleaning - nozzles care (washing and disinfecting them) after use.

Types of equipment

Manufacturers offer consumers various designs of such devices. Equipment can be classified according to the method:

The most common option is a hanging toilet, which has the function of a bidet. There is no particular difference with the standing sanitary fixture, the difference is only in appearance, since the suspended drain tank will be hidden behind the false wall.

Suspended toilets, bidets of modern designs are not inferior in reliability to floor models of toilet bowls. In addition, cleaning around such devices is much more convenient. In such cases, install a hygienic shower, compatible with all types of toilets.

Tip: an additional positive point of this design - it can be used to wash the cat's toilet.

Cover with bidet function for toilet

The price of a bidet toilet is not low, so most users buy just a toilet lid, complete with this function. It is simply installed on the device.

The nozzles in this case are located on the lid.

The device is equipped with the ability to:

• water temperature control;
• smooth lowering of the cover;
• drying hair dryer.

There are models in which the nozzle washing mechanism (self-cleaning) is implemented, as well as the pendulum movement.

Usually install the cover-bidet on a simple toilet.

The functionality of the equipment does not differ from devices combined with a bidet:

1. Drying with warm air.
2. It is possible to regulate the temperature of the water.
3. Added lifter.
4. Nozzles can self-clean.

Tip: before you go to the store for the cover-bidet, measure the exact dimensions of the toilet.

Hygienic shower

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the bidet in the toilet, as well as to save, you can install a sanitary shower next to the sanitary equipment.

Its design is:

• flexible hose attached to the wall;
• watering can.

To use it, you must bring the watering can to the toilet and turn on the water. The device differs from the usual shower with a button located directly on the watering can, so you do not have to reach for the mixer or to the wall.

Choosing a hygienic shower, we recommend to pay attention to models with a thermostat that can maintain the required temperature for greater safety and comfort.

So you do not need to be afraid of getting burns in delicate places - if the water pressure decreases, the temperature of the water leaving the device will remain the same, and you will not feel its difference.

Hygienic shower models can be embedded and external. However, the type of faucet should be chosen according to the design of the bathroom or according to its aesthetic ideas.

Conclusion

Plumbing manufacturers offer different models of bidets, which are equipped with a special design mixer. They differ in the rotating head of the spout, which allows you to adjust the direction of the jet.

A bidet or hygienic shower also helps to keep clean intimate areas. The video in this article will provide an opportunity to find additional information on the above topic.
