Select the mixer for the hygiene shower of the hidden installation or the wall model is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the key features of the design of such a shower and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. But independently install the hygienic shower is already more difficult - but also here, guided by the Councils given in the article, you will handle.

Benefits of hygienic souls

The hygienic shower faucets are gradually included in the list of equipment, which, if not necessarily, is very desirable for installation in the bathrooms. And if in private houses with spacious, there is enough space to install a full-fledged bidet, then there are no such soul in public buildings and small-sized apartments of alternatives.

Such devices have several advantages:

1. With a jet of warm water, intimate body areas after the toilet are cleaned much more efficiently than when using toilet paper.
2. The skin, and the main thing - the mucous membranes are not injured, as friction during cleaning will be minimal.

1. The effect of the jet of water from the shower can be regarded as a kind of massage that promotes the activation of blood circulation in a small pelvis.

According to statistics, those who use a hygienic shower instead of toilet paper on an ongoing basis, many times are less common. There are such diseases as hemorrhoids, prostatitis, erosion of the rectum, etc.

1. The advantage is the effective maintenance of the sanitary condition of the restroom. The jet of water from the shower immediately washes away all the sewage in the toilet, so that from the bucket with the "fragrant" used paper can be refused.

1. Finally, the hygienic souls with the mixer are convenient from a utilitarian point of view. A rather long elastic hose allows you to effectively wash the plumbing. In addition, such a design is great for washing children's pots, feline trays, gender buckets, etc.

Well, and the main plus is that the wall-mounted, and the more embedded hygienic souls have highly compact sizes. Thanks to this, it can be fitted even in the most compact bathroom, where there is a place for the toilet only. This similar products are beneficial from the classic bidet.

Design features

Varieties of hygienic devices

For the processing of intimate parts of the body after the departure of natural needs, devices are used differently. Each of them has its own characteristics, because in this section I will give only a brief description of the main groups:

It is the last option described in the table is the most common. So in the future I will deal with it.

Main elements

The hygienic shower, installed in the toilets, consists of several main elements:

1. The central part of the design is a mixerUsed to adjust the water supply and selection of its temperature. From the choice of the mixer directly depends on the reliability of the entire system, because the description of this part will be given a separate subsection.

1. Shower hose - flexible tubeconnecting the mixer with a shower nozzle. The optimal length of the hose for the hygiene shower is from 1.2 to 2 m. This item can be made either of plastic or rubber with a decorative overall. Polymer models are more durable, but they have less resistance at a break, therefore, it is necessary to use such hoses carefully.

1. Accessories for fastening the soul - Various hooks and clampsthat are put on the wall near. Can be made from bronze, brass or steel with a decorative coating that protect against corrosion. Silicinal clamps are usually supplied complete with souls from economy segment, but their service life is limited due to low strength.

Sometimes the bracket is combined with a pipe for connecting the hose. In this case, it is placed simultaneously with the water supply system and connects to the mixer.

1. Shower nozzle - fixes on the end of the hose, ensures spraying of water flow. Differ not only on design, but also by functionality. The most useful functions are the flow switching (from the jet to small drops) and adjust the pressure directly on the nozzle. It is very desirable to acquire exactly such models that can be included with the same hand that you keep the watering can - it is very convenient!

Types of mixers

The mixer, as I have already mentioned earlier, is used to adjust the pressure and water temperature coming from the water pipe in the watering can.

To date, these types of mixers are used:

1. Two-dense - the cheapest, characterized by simplicity in installation and care. In fact, they are a couple of cranes with rotary letters attached, respectively, to pipelines with hot and cold water. The selection of the optimal water temperature is carried out by alternately rotating the flywheels on the taps, but when the pressure drops in the system, the temperature can be unpredictable to change.

1. Single-art - constitute the bulk of mixers for this category of sanitary equipment. Here you can find both the outer hygienic shower with the mixer and the model for the hidden installation, which only the handle for adjusting the pressure and temperature is visible on the wall.
   As a central element of such a mixer, either a cartridge, or a ceramic box connected to water supply nozzles. Single-art models are more expensive and more difficult in installation, but much more convenient in operation.

Sometimes the directories are not specified in the directories. In this case, pay attention to the product code and then on the manufacturer's website we are looking for the characteristics of this model. The information received is useful when choosing a product, and when searching for parts required to replace in case of breakdown.

1. Mixers-thermostats - The most modern products. Inside the device there is a thermostatic element, due to which the water temperature at the output is always supported at one level. This contributes to the maximum level of comfort in use, but there is such a mixer, alas, quite expensive.
   Unfortunately, find a high-quality hidden thermostat is not easy, so you have to put up with the presence of a mixer body on the wall.

If you choose the optimal ratio of "price-functionality", then it seems to me the best choice setting a single-dimensional model of a built-in or wall-mounted type. On the one hand, you can find models with quite acceptable cost and independently install them. On the other hand, the presence of the adjustment system makes it easy to adjust the optimum temperature and water pressure.

Self installation

Stage 1. Preparatory work

One of the advantages of the hygienic shower is quite simple technology of their installation. You can install the product with your own hands, without attracting specialists. Naturally, it is necessary to observe a certain accuracy, acting strictly according to the instructions.

The installation process itself depends on which model you will be mounted, as well as the condition of the room itself. For installation of wall and embedded mixers with a hose, it is necessary to strobhore the walls under the pipe laying. But the hygienic shower on the sink can be installed after the completion of the finishing works.

From the sticking can be abandoned in the case of plastic walls with plastic, gypsum or other materials with sufficient moisture resistance. So the installation process will be less laborious, but the pipes still have to be fixed on the walls.

The preparatory stage includes such operations:

1. First choose the placewhere the mixer will be installed. It is desirable that a person can reach the lever or the valves without getting up from the toilet.
2. Now we apply on the walls markup under the laying of pipes. As a rule, pipes with hot and cold water rise to the mixer vertically up, but it all depends on the initial configuration of the water supply.

1. Now proceed to the stroke of the walls. First, choose a hole with a depth of 85 - 100 mm under the installation of the mixer housing. Then we bring to this hole of the pipe shoes. The grooves are cut or pulled by a perforator cleaner from concrete / brick and dust fragments.

1. In the hole under the mixer, install the mounting box. Fix the box by either struts or using cement mortar.

The mounting box may not be included in the mixer - then you will have to purchase it separately. Also allowed hidden installation without installing the box: in this case, the mixer is fixed directly into the wall niche.

1. Put pipes, Summarizing them to the hole in the wall, in which the mixer will be installed.

1. If you plan to install a wall model or a device with a thermostat, it is not necessary to mess with the hole and installation of the box. Instead, nozzles are displayed on the surface, fixed in such a way that they are exactly opposite the holes for connecting the mixer.

Stage 2. Installing the mixer and other soul elements

Installation instructions for the hygiene shower will also differ.

So, when working with the built-in model, act as:

1. In a box or wall niche, install the mixer mechanism.

1. We connect hoses to itconnected to plumbing pipes (hot and cold water).
2. May need to install the facial plateTo which the outer part with the lever or flywheel will later be attached.
3. After completion of the installation, close the shoes And we carry out finishing work.

1. On top of the finishing wall set the decorative liningAnd then to the lever of letters or cartridge, the flywheel / head control lever and water temperature.

Installation of the wall model will be much simpler:

1. To the conclusions of the water supply, fixed on the wall, connect nozzles on the mixer housing.
2. Fix the product Using nuts with sealing gaskets, trying to tighten them tightly, but without deformation.
3. When using a model with a thermostat, check the performance of the thermostatic element.

With a model for the sink, everything is completely simple: it is enough to fix the crane case on the sink itself and connect to it from the bottom of the hoses of hot and cold water.

Now we have to fulfill the final operations:

1. In the selected location in one or two anchor bolts, fasteners. Locks for shower. If you need to install the mount on the wall, lined with tiles, use a special kaffle drill.
2. To the threaded nozzle on the mixer we attach the shower hose. Check the tightness of the connection.
3. Apply and control the absence of leaks. Also, at this stage, it is worth checking how qualitatively the pressure and temperature is adjusted, as well as whether the turning on / off lever is running on the shower watering can function.
4. After that, we hang watering can on the installed mount. The hygienic shower can be used!

Conclusion

The technology of installation of the hygienic shower, described above, can be used almost for any model of such devices. To understand the nuances, it is worth examining the instructions from the manufacturer and view the informative video in this article.

If there will be questions after that - you can ask them in the comments.

Bidet or shower?

If the size of the bathroom allows, few people abandon the purchase and installation of such plumbing equipment, like a bidet. Especially convenient for the existence of a bidet in a separate toilet. To make a hygienic procedure, you will not have to move from one room to another: everything can be done immediately on the spot. Comfortable? Dovelessly yes! However, the size of the toilet rooms is often too small in order to afford such a luxury as a bidet. It remains only to crushed and dream? Not at all. For clean people there is an economical solution - a hygienic shower.

The hygienic shower is called sanitary equipment to perform hygienic procedures in the toilet, or rather directly above the toilet. Why put additional bidet, if you can turn the toilet in "two in one"? Hygienic souls There are several types: built into the toilet bowl built into the toilet cover, installed on the sink located near the toilet, and the wall shower mixer (external or built into the wall). What to choose?

In the process of repair, the owners of the premises are trying to give the bathroom as much functionality as possible. For this purpose, in addition to the toilet bowl, they establish a bidet for convenient hygienic procedures. If the room was a small bathroom, then there may be simply places for this. If you are faced with such a situation, then the setting of a combined plumbing device can be found out of it. Supplement is a hygienic shower for toilet bowl with a mixer, which practically does not take place, and benefits is huge.

Modern hygienic shower is a simplified version of the well-known bidet, combining the functions of two plumbing devices. It is especially important to its use in separate bathrooms, as it disappears the need to attend one after another several premises.

The device from such components is:

1. Mixer with control valve. In high-quality models there is an additional pressure button to turn on water.
2. Flexible hose with watering can. The shape and size of the watering can be ergonomic enough for the convenience of using it. The nozzles have a direction that ensures the movement of water jets right in front of them, excluding their spraying to the sides.
3. Holder for watering. It is usually attached on the wall next to the mixer with such a calculation so that it would be easy to reach it. A shower can be inserted into the holder.
4. Thermostat (in certain models). It allows you to adjust the temperature of the incoming water. Once configuring the thermostat for a certain temperature, you can not make further settings. The thermostat is installed on more expensive models.

All the elements of the soul are chromed, and the flexible hose is covered outside the chromed braid.

Tip: Choose such a shower model, which has an additional button starting water on the watering can. This device use more conveniently and safely. You will not need to open and close the mixer's valve, which is not always convenient.

Advantages of the shower for toilet

We list the advantages of the hygienic shower for the toilet bowl with the mixer:

About how can be made, read in a separate material site.

Installing this type of hygienic soul in the toilet with your own hands is performed in the following sequence:

• the old lid is removed from the toilet, and instead of it is attached to the bidet;
• water in the system overlaps;
• the tank is completely drained;
• the supply hose is unscrewed, through which water flows into the tank;
• a tee is installed between the water pipe and the tank. One end of the tee enters the tank, and the second is connected to the cover of the toilet;
• if an electric drive manages the instrument, then it will be connected to a rosette specifically derived for this purpose.

Buying a hygienic shower for the toilet, try to navigate not only for the price, but also on well-known manufacturers who specialize in the release of such accessories. Thereby, you provide yourself with high-quality equipment, which you will not regret buying.

There are several photos on our article.

Culture of hygiene develops with seven-world steps. The phrase "Cleanliness is a guarantee of health" is relevant at any time. A person always wants to maintain his body clean. The mixer equipped with a hygienic shower, designed to be installed in close proximity to the toilet, can replace the full bidet.

Positive sides of the hygienic soul

It is believed that too frequent to visit the soul causes the same harm as the disregard of them. From the constant impact of soaps (shampoos, shower gels, soap), the skin suffers primarily. She dries and becomes more sensitive to various stimuli. That is why Europeans have been introduced into the list of the most necessary elements of the life of the Bidet.

The bidet occupies quite a lot of space, so its installation in small bathroom is often impossible

The layout of modern apartments in our country allows the installation of sanitary equipment of any type. Bathrooms in European-type residential buildings are planned fairly spacious. But how to be residents of the "Soviet" type buildings? For such connoisseurs of personal hygiene, too, there is an output: the installation of a mixer equipped with a hygienic watering can, or a toilet bowl with a built-in bidet function.

Most often in apartment "Khrushchev" you can find exactly the hygienic shower. Conducted such popularity to several points that beneficially distinguish it from a stationary bidet:

In addition, a wide range of designer solutions of manufacturers of mixers will allow you to choose an option of the hygienic shower for any style from retro to.

Bidet toilet bowls

In order to save place, sanitary ceramics manufacturers began making compacts with a bidet function. This avoids the installation of the hygienic bowl, but has some features and difficulties of installation.

Toilet with a bidet function

Toilet bowls with built-in hygienic watering can have a much more complex mechanism than ordinary compacts. Some of them are equipped with retractable water supply nozzles and powered by the buttons. A bit simpler is a reserved nozzle with nozzles that work when you click on the trigger key.

Plumbing equipment with a built-in bidet involves connecting a cold and hot water system to it. Of course, it is possible to do only with cold water, but will the effect of maximum comfort be achieved when using such an appliance?

Scheme: The principle of operation of the toilet with the function of the bidet

Progress does not stand still. Among simple plumbing can be found very unusual designs. This includes the toilet cover with an elected mixer for hygiene purposes. Such seats are also equipped with a hairdryer and control unit. Prices for such products speak themselves, but it can become an indispensable assistant for people with disabilities.

Tip! When choosing difficult plumbing devices, you should give preference to proven brands that guarantees product quality.

The main minus plumbing with built-in bidets, hairdryer and other benefits is the very high cost of the product. But it cannot be compared with the degree of comfort that these devices provide.

Varieties of hygienic systems for toilet

Among all systems equipped with a hygienic shower, which can be equipped with bathroom, can be distinguished by several main species:

Wall souls

The most common type of equipment mini-bidet. The system includes 4 main components:

• mixer;
• shower hose;
• lake Bidet;
• wall mount.

Wall hygienic shower for bathroom

As a rule, the mixer is installed with the label "for bidet and shower cabins." They do not have a removal for filling the bath and when starting, water is sent directly to the shower system. On the principle of installing the mixer, this type of mini-bidet can be divided into another 2 subspecies:

• with a mixer of hidden editing, when the walls of the water control of water and a separate output for the hose of the gauge can be on the wall surface;
• with an open fitting faucet - a bundle of the mixer-hose watering can be in the open space.

Open type mixer

Toilet bowl bidet

Pretty rare system. It is a setting mounted directly to the bowl bowl. The assortment of mixers in supermarkets is presented in full configuration:

• playground for installing a mixer equipped with a wage for watering;
• mixer;
• shower hose;
• shower canoe;
• nozzles for filing hot and cold water supply.

Toilet bowl bidet

The mixer has similarities with a model intended for washbasins. The difference is evil. Instead of aerator, from which water enters the sink, the product has a threaded connection. Hygienic shower is screwed at it in the installation process.

Combined Washbasin Faucet

Such a system is distributed. The mixer installed on the washbasin has an additional discharge that connects it to a mini-bidel shower system. Located a nozzle on the bottom of the product in close proximity to the hoses for the flow of water. Sometimes the manufacturer complies with a mixer with a special adapter, in the form of a tee. It is screwed on the scum, and the shower hose is mounted to the auxiliary hole.

Mini-shower connection with the main mixer

When choosing a hygienic shower system, you need to think over all the details. If the repair in the bathroom has already been completed, and the user decided to equip a mini-bid room with a built-in mounting mixer, it is necessary to realize that the plot in which the installation works will be carried out, will have to be dismantled. In this case, the best option will be the output of the open mixer.

Council. The hose for the system of the bidet is not very long. In order to avoid twisting and the chances, it will be enough 100-125 cm. Depending on the location of the mixer.

In some cases, a small bathroom is equipped with a small wicker, a width of no more than 45 cm. It will most likely be an angular sink installed above the toilet. Such a cunning will allow not only to establish a mixer with a mini-bidet system, but also will provide an opportunity to carry out other hygienic procedures.

Functional features of watering can

Many people do not see the difference between canoeing for the shower and a mini-bidet. Unlike his shower prototype, the hygienic watering can have a number of constructive features.

Important! It is strictly not recommended to leave under pressure hygienic systems. This is especially harmful to watering. A large number of valves and connecting systems may not withstand the constant pressure and the product will be built. After use, be sure to overlap the water with a mixer or other locking devices.

Installation of a mixer with a hygienic watering can on the sink

This type of work is not much different from the installation of a conventional mixer for a washbasin. Of particular difficulties should not be if you follow the action algorithm. An independent installation is possible. To do this, we need:

• the mixer equipped with an additional tap for the shower hose;
• hygienic soul system (hose, watering can, fastening);
• mounting kit for installing the mixer (mounting stud, nut, pressure ring, seals), which comes with a mixer;

Hygienic shower mounted on sink

• flexible hoses for connecting to water supply;
• cranans for overlapping cold and hot water;
• adjustable key (better than a small size);
• set of horn keys.

Follow the installation algorithm:

Important! Do not neglect seals. Their absence will lead to leakage.

During the installation process, use only high-quality connecting hoses and seals. They depends on the period of continuous operation of the entire system as a whole. Hoses for water supply to the mixer, which was equipped with a product, it is better to immediately replace with better. By this you will protect yourself from the flood.

Installing the mixer of hidden mounting

Installation of the hygienic system with a hidden mixer is much more complicated than installing on the sink. It is not necessary to do without drilling a wall or manufacture of a special box, in which the inside of the product will be hidden.

Mixer of hidden mounting

The work of such complexity is best entrusted by a specialist, but if you try, you can install with your own hands. To carry out such work, you can allocate several main steps:

Tip! When buying a hidden mounting mixer, pay attention to the presence of an assembly box. With it, you can facilitate the installation process.

Install a manual bidet, taking into account the physiology of each of the users. Do not install the mixer too low or very high. To achieve maximum comfort from using the system, check the convenience of use. A person should not reach the mixer or watering agent.

Hygienic shower is an additional comfort that you can easily create your own hands.

The mini-bidet system for the toilet is a very important element of sanitary equipment. It will allow you to perform hygienic manipulations without moving to the bath or shower. The hygienic shower is a very convenient and functional application to the main elements of plumbing.
