What is a bidet lid for the toilet, and how to use it in the

In modern conditions, many homeowners, during the construction of their own home or a major overhaul of a residential apartment, try to install in their bathroom such a necessary personal hygiene item as a stationary bidet. Depending on the modification, modern models of this device, besides its direct purpose, can perform a large number of additional useful functions.

However, despite all the advantages, when using a stationary bide there is one significant limitation - it has rather large overall dimensions, therefore, for its installation, the bathroom in the apartment should have sufficient area.

Features of the use of the cover-bidet for toilet

If homeowners have the usual separate or combined bathroom in a typical apartment of the old housing stock, install a stationary bidet will not work. In such cases, a modern technical solution will come to the rescue - a separate bidet lid on the toilet, which combines the functions of a reliable and comfortable seat, a closing lid, and a multifunctional mechanized device for carrying out hygienic procedures.

Purpose and main functions

In most cases, the cover-bidet is similar in appearance to the usual folding seat for the toilet, but differs from it a little more thick, as well as the presence of controls and detachable connections for connecting electrical and plumbing communications.

Depending on the manufacturer, and the specific modification, the price of such a device may be within wide limits, since modern models of bidet caps allow not only to perform hygienic procedures, but also, in addition, have many other useful functions.

1. Directly rinsing allows you to direct a stream of water of a certain intensity and temperature to the right place of the human body to conduct a hygienic procedure for the organs of the groin and small pelvis.
2. The function of hydromassage directs a pulsating stream of water to the external organs and body parts for the prevention of hemorrhoids, prostatitis and other diseases caused by stagnation of blood in the organs of the small pelvis.
3. Electric heating automatically maintains a comfortable toilet seat temperature at a given level.

1. The self-cleaning function of the water nozzles is intended for disinfection and sanitization of the working mechanism of the cover-bidet.
2. Deodorization of external organs when performing hygienic water procedures is achieved due to the dosed supply of a special deodorizing agent into the water for washing.
3. The microlift of the toilet lid ensures its smooth running when closing, and thus eliminates the need to constantly hold it with your hand when lowering.
4. Air drying is a low-power electric hair dryer that directs a stream of heated air into the area of ​​the groin organs after washing.

In addition to the functions presented, individual models can also have an integrated toilet bowl ventilation system, an infrared presence sensor, a vibrating seat, heated rooms or floor zones, a system of pendulum or rotating nozzle movements, an integrated radio or audio system, and other additional amenities.

To set the desired operating parameters, an electronic control system is used, which is usually located in an ergonomic remote control, equipped with touch-sensitive buttons, and in some models, with its own LCD screen.

Tip! All such devices require connection to the electrical network, so when performing repairs in the toilet, you should provide a connection point, and lead to the toilet electrical cable of the appropriate section.

Internal structure and principle of operation

Structurally, any mechanical cover-bidet is a rather complex device, which consists of several interconnected systems and mechanisms.

A heating element is installed inside the seat, as well as an infrared ray presence sensor, a water heater, a nozzle control drive, an electric hairdryer, ventilation and deodorization systems are located at the back of the device, and a lifter mechanism is installed in the hinge of the hinge cover. On the back of the outer surface are connections for water supply, a connector for power supply, and a connector for connecting an external control panel.

In the process of using the simplest cover-bidet, its work consists of the following cycles:

1. The infrared presence sensor detects a person, after which it turns on the ventilation of the toilet bowl, heats the water to the desired temperature, and activates the functions set by the user in the program by default.

1. After the departure of natural needs, the user launches a program of washing away. By means of an electric drive, a boom with nozzles extends from under the toilet lid, and the flow of a uniform or pulsating jet of water with deodorizing agent is turned on.
2. At the end of the washing-out, the self-cleaning function of the nozzles is activated, while the water jet with disinfectant, washes the nozzles and the rod in a downward flow.
3. The cleared bar comes back, and sinks in the case of a cover then the function of air drying is started.
4. Finally, the user needs to rise from the seat and slightly push the lid with his hand. The microlift system will slowly lower it into place, and the electronic presence sensor will stop the operation of all unused systems.

Tip! The use of air drying is especially important for people suffering from hemorrhoids, since this procedure eliminates the use of toilet paper or other external irritants when performing hygienic procedures.

Selection criteria and installation features

Most modern models of bidet caps are unified, therefore they can be used with almost all types of toilet bowls, however, the following rules should be followed when buying a specific model.

1. Before buying, you need to make a template for the projection of the upper plane of the toilet bowl.. To do this, you need to attach a sheet of cardboard to the upper rim, and circle it around the perimeter with a pencil or marker. Also on the template should be noted the location of the mounting holes.
2. To connect the device to the water supply system with your own hands, you need to feed the sewer system pipe after the ball stop valve, and then connect one of its outlets with a flexible hose to the tank and the second to the bidet inlet.

Tip! In most cases, on the inner surface of the top cover is an infographic instruction in Russian, which gives a visual representation of the use of all functions of this device.

Conclusion

Finally, it should be recalled that for the normal operation of the functions of deodorization and disinfection, it is necessary to periodically add consumable liquids to special containers, which, as a rule, are located behind or to the side of the toilet bowl.
