What is a shower for a bidet

We begin to learn about the benefits of hygiene from an early age. And, if then all these conventions seemed to be just an unnecessary waste of time, with maturity comes the understanding that these procedures are necessary for modern man. One of the ways to clean up is to use a shower, but this is not always possible to do several times a day, and therefore a device was invented - a hygienic shower. 

Shower instead of bidet

The device resembles an ordinary shower for a bathroom, only there is no spout, and the watering can itself is smaller. In addition, the on and off of the water supply is done using the switch on the handle of the latter. In this case, it is not just justified, but also very convenient.

So, the purpose of this simple device is not to provide water for the whole body, but only intimate places to feel confident throughout the day. Therefore, no matter how much suggested adaptation options, it performs only one function - it supplies warm water to the right place.

His competitor can be considered a bidet - a device designed to wash away. Especially try to buy it, those who basically do not use toilet paper.

2. With a separate bathroom will not inconvenience., as in this case it is not necessary to pile up additional sanitary equipment.

1. Installing a bidet actually resembles the installation of a toilet - large enough investment and dismantling of the floor.
2. If you have a small bathroom, you still need to adhere to sanitary standards, namely the distance between the devices in the room. For a bidet, this is 300 mm on each side, including the distance from the walls.

Tip: For people in advanced age living with you, a bidet can create some inconvenience in terms of exploitation.

1. Installation of hygienic shower is not complicated., it can be easily done by hand.
2. The interior of the room will not suffer, as there will be no major changes.

Types of installation

In this part we consider the main types of these devices, based on the place of their installation:

Installation

Now we learn how to install the above devices:

1. Hygienic shower - does not require the supply of new communications, existing ones are used. On the wall I am mounting a stop valve with a mixer, the flow of water is regulated by a button on the shower head. Sometimes a built-in thermostat is used, which automatically “adjusts” the temperature to the desired value. The faucet can be installed from either side of the toilet bowl, however it must be above its level. Support for the watering can is bundled or purchased separately.

Tip: for easy operation, place a number of napkins and liquid hygiene products in special holders.

1. A shower with a miniature sink is an extended version of the previous model. Installation is made in a corner or on a wall near the toilet bowl, and in order not to interfere with the hose, a holder should be made for it. Installation is carried out with special tools, it resembles the installation of a conventional washbasin.
2. At installation of a cover bidet difficult works are not provided. The wiring diagram may differ from the design of the device, but all the spare parts must be included. The main thing is to install a filter on the water supply hose to the lid.

How to connect a hygienic shower to the sink

If you have a washbasin in your bathroom, you can connect a sanitary shower to its faucet. It will only be necessary to replace the one installed on a special model, which has a third exit to the shower head.

Such equipment works as follows:

• when you turn the lever, the water enters the spout and the hose, which is held by the shut-off valve on the watering can;
• when you open the valve on the shower nozzle, the water stops flowing into the spout and rushes out of the watering can.

Tip: when buying a hygienic shower, you should properly select the hose length for the shower head.

It should be warned again - the instruction recommends turning off the water after the button is turned off to extend the life of the device. Otherwise, the stopcock in the nozzle will be under pressure all the time and will fail prematurely. At the same time, when the shower is connected to the sink, this threat will not affect, water will continuously flow into the sink until you turn it off with a lever.

When choosing the height and installation location of the shower head holder, you should proceed from the convenience of using this sanitary device. The length of the hose should be enough, especially when the sink is located at some distance from the toilet bowl.

As you can see, you can increase the functionality of sanitary equipment in the toilet, you can in just a couple of hours. It is enough just to replace the mixer connected to the working communications. In this case, there is no need to wait for you to start making cosmetic or major repairs.

Tip: if the bathroom is not yet equipped with a washbasin, we recommend installing a small corner model. Then all the hygiene procedures can be carried out without leaving the toilet room, which is especially suitable for separate bathrooms.
