The main advantages of this option

Space saving	In most bathrooms of city apartments it is simply impossible to place a bidet, as the space is tightly limited, and it is barely enough to accommodate a bath, toilet and sink. A shower combined with a mixer does not take up space at all - it is installed on the sink, and the rain can be attached in any convenient place: on the wall, under the sink or even on the toilet
Saving money	There is no need to explain that the combined system is ten times cheaper than a stationary bidet, which is especially important in terms of saving money or carrying out repairs at a dacha or country plot. The price of the mixer is quite democratic, which makes it affordable to almost anyone.
Easy installation	All work can be done easily with your own hands, you do not need complicated installation instructions. Also, additional connection of communications is not required, as in other cases (especially a bidet - not only water is required, but also a sewer pipe is to be laid)
Functionality	With all the simplicity of design, hygienic shower provides ease of use, not inferior to other options, and in a number of indicators even surpassing them. The system is very simple to use, it does not require special maintenance and is able to function for a long time.

Tip! It is possible as an alternative to use one of the latest innovations - a shower cabin with a toilet and a sink, everything you need is already included in the kit, and after connecting to the communications system can be used.

A shower cubicle with a toilet and a sink is an unusual solution that allows you to fit all the necessary plumbing equipment on the minimum floor space; this option is ideal where every centimeter of space is saved

What to look for when choosing

There are several main factors that must be considered when purchasing a particular option. To understand them, it does not take much time, everything is very simple and clear.

Design features

Here you can select the following types of products:

Autonomous system that can be installed on any design. It usually fits any options - be it a full bowl or a small-format shower basin. Here the most important aspect is the length of the hose on the soul: it should be sufficient for comfortable use, of course, if necessary, this element can be replaced by a longer one.

Faucets with hygienic shower for a small sink in a separate bathroom - the perfect solution in terms of practicality and convenience

Ready-made plumbing kits, this option is most often encountered when purchasing products of unusual shape and non-standard sizes, since ordinary mixers may not be suitable for them. Everything you need immediately comes bundled, including hygienic shower. This option is very convenient, since you get everything in one set, and there is no need to select elements separately.

Designer kits initially include all the necessary elements, made in a single style

If there is no place at all, then you can apply such an unusual solution as a toilet with a sink and a hygienic shower.. The design assumes the presence of a compact sink in the upper part of the tank, in which a mixer and a shower unit are provided. This is a great solution for those who cannot place a sink next to them due to various factors.

This solution allows not to occupy too much space at all and not to install a separate sink, but it is worth remembering that the size of the bowl is small, which creates inconvenience in the process of using

Mixer modification

Another very important point that should be considered here is three main options:

Single lever system in which all adjustments are made with one small lever. Its movement up and down changes the pressure of the water, and moving it left and right regulates the temperature of the liquid. The main advantage of the system is its simplicity, and the disadvantage is that it is sometimes very difficult to adjust the desired temperature.

One of the most popular options today is the universal adjustment lever.

The valve system does not need a special description, since everyone is familiar with it - it consists of two rotary cranes. With the help of which the adjustment and temperature and pressure. The main advantage is the budget, and the disadvantage is the difficulty of fine-tuning the temperature, especially when pressure drops in the system.
The most progressive option is designs with a thermostat or, as it is also called, a thermostat. Although the cost of this solution is very high, the operation is the most convenient: you set the desired temperature in advance, and the system automatically adjusts the water supply, maintaining the set parameters. This is very convenient and eliminates the temperature drops during use, which are characteristic of the first two options.

The thermostat is the perfect solution for those who value convenience and comfort.

Other important features

The following factors stand out:

Material production, if we compare the sink faucet with a shower for the bathroom, it is easy to understand that the first will be operated several times more often than the second. Therefore, it is better to choose products made of bronze or brass, coated with a layer of chromium, this option provides excellent durability and is able to serve for many years without damage.
Having a clear Russian-language scheme for assembling and installing is also important, because sometimes it is very difficult to figure it out on your own, and instructions with hieroglyphs may not help.

Note! Ask the seller for a certificate of quality, this document confirms that the product complies with all standards established in our country.

Installation recommendations

Installing a shower faucet is almost the same as other works of this kind, the tips are simple:

All connections must be secure and leak free. If necessary, use sealing materials and sealants.
The shower hose is fastened with a nut, under which the sealing rubber ring is located, it should stand straight and not be damaged.
The rain stand is attached to the wall with dowels, so you will have to drill 1-2 holes, if the work is done on the tile, then you will need a special drill on the tile.

Sometimes the rain mount is put on double-sided tape, it eliminates the need to drill the walls.
