As mentioned above, currently there are several types of devices under consideration.

The following are the most common types of structures:

• Built-in bidet.
• Bidet cover.
• Wall shower
• Shower with sink.

The functionality of standard covers is significantly simplified, but for that they are several times cheaper, and they are also non-volatile.

Wall construction

A wall mounted shower is a mixer without a spout, to which a shower head is connected to a flexible hose. The latter differs from the usual smaller size, in addition, the device is necessarily equipped with a shut-off valve.

Tip! In order not to carry out the supply of cold water separately, you can use a tee with access to a toilet bowl and a hygienic shower.

• When closing the valve of the watering can, the water will flow from the spout, so you will not forget to turn off the water.
• As a rule, the sink is supplied with a cabinet in which you can store various small accessories, for example, household chemicals and toilet brushes.
