Hygiene culture is developing by leaps and bounds. The phrase "cleanliness is the key to health" is relevant at all times. A person always wants to keep his body clean. The mixer, equipped with a hygienic shower, designed for installation in close proximity to the toilet, can replace a full-fledged bidet.

Positive aspects of a hygienic shower

It is believed that too frequent visits to the soul do as much harm as neglecting them. From the constant exposure to soap products (shampoos, shower gels, soaps), skin primarily suffers. It dries up and becomes more sensitive to various irritants. That is why Europeans have added a bidet to the list of the most necessary elements of everyday life.

A bidet takes up a lot of space, so installing it in a 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-style residential buildings are planned quite spacious. But what about the inhabitants of the buildings of the "Soviet" type? For such connoisseurs of personal hygiene, there is also a solution: installing a faucet equipped with a hygienic watering can or a toilet with a built-in bidet function.

Most often in multi-apartment "Khrushchevs" you can find a hygienic shower. This popularity is due to several points that distinguish it from a stationary bidet:

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

Bidet toilets

  In order to save space, manufacturers of sanitary ceramics began manufacturing compact sets with a bidet function. This avoids the installation of a hygienic bowl, but has some features and installation difficulties.

Bidet toilet

Toilets with a built-in hygienic watering can have a much more complex mechanism than conventional compacts. Some of them are equipped with retractable water nozzles and push buttons. A little easier - a dedicated pipe with nozzles that work when you press the shutter release button.

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

Scheme: the principle of the toilet with a bidet function

Progress does not stand still. Among simple plumbing, you can find very unusual designs. This includes the toilet lid with a built-in mixer for hygienic purposes. These seats are also equipped with a hairdryer and control unit. Prices for such products speak for themselves, but it can become an indispensable tool for people with disabilities.

Advice! When choosing complex plumbing fixtures, you should give preference to proven brands that guarantee product quality.

The main disadvantage of plumbing with a built-in bidet, hairdryer and other benefits is the very high cost of the product. But it can not be compared with the degree of comfort that these devices provide.

Varieties of hygiene systems for the toilet

Among all systems equipped with a hygienic shower, which can be equipped with a bathroom, there are several main types:

Wall mounted shower

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

• mixer;
• shower hose;
• watering bidet;
• wall mount.

Wall-mounted hygienic shower for the bathroom

Typically, a faucet is installed marked "for bidets and showers." They do not have a tap for filling the bath and at startup, water is sent directly to the shower system. According to the principle of installing the mixer, this type of mini-bidet can be divided into 2 subspecies:

• with flush-mounted mixer, when on the wall surface there is only a joystick for controlling the water supply and a separate outlet for a bidet watering hose;
• with an open type mixer - a combination of mixer-hose-watering can is in open space.

Open mixer

Toilet bidet

Pretty rare system. Represents the installation mounted directly on a toilet bowl. The assortment of mixers in supermarkets is fully equipped:

• a platform for installing a mixer equipped with a mount for a watering can;
• mixer;
• shower hose;
• shower head;
• nozzles for supplying hot and cold water.

Toilet bidet

The faucet resembles a model for washbasins. The difference is the spout. Instead of an aerator, from which water enters the sink, the product has a threaded connection. A hygienic shower is wound on it during installation.

Washbasin faucet

Such a system is common. The mixer mounted on the washbasin has an additional outlet, which connects it to the mini-bidet shower system. A pipe is located on the bottom of the product in close proximity to hoses for supplying water. Sometimes the manufacturer completes the mixer with a special adapter, in the form of a tee. It is screwed onto the spout, and a shower hose is mounted to the auxiliary hole.

Connection of the mini-shower to the main mixer

When choosing a hygienic shower system, all the details must be considered. If the repair in the bathroom has already been completed, and the user decided to equip the room with a mini-bidet with a built-in mixer, it is necessary to realize that the area in which installation work will be carried out will have to be dismantled. In this case, the best option would be to output an open mixer.

Tip. The hose for the bidet system is not very long. To avoid twisting and creases, 100-125 cm will be enough. Depending on the location of the mixer.

In some cases, a small bathroom is equipped with a small washstand, a width of not more than 45 cm. The most convenient will be a corner sink mounted above the toilet. Such a trick will not only allow you to install a faucet with a mini-bidet system, but also provide an opportunity to carry out other hygiene procedures.

Functional Features of Watering Bidets

Many people do not see the difference between a shower head and a mini-bidet. Unlike its shower prototype, a hygienic watering can has a number of design features.

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

Mounting the faucet with a hygienic watering can on the sink

This type of work is not much different from installing a conventional washbasin mixer. There should not be any special difficulties if you follow the algorithm for performing actions. Self-installation is possible. For this we need:

• faucet equipped with an additional outlet for the shower hose;
• hygienic shower system (hose, watering can, mount);
• mounting kit for installing the mixer (mounting stud, nut, clamping ring, gaskets), which is supplied with the mixer;

Hygienic shower mounted on the sink

• flexible hoses for connection to a water supply system;
• faucets for shutting off cold and hot water;
• adjustable wrench (preferably a small size);
• set of open-end wrenches.

Follow the installation algorithm:

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

During installation, use only high-quality connecting hoses and gaskets. The term of continuous operation of the entire system as a whole depends on them. It is better to immediately replace the hoses for supplying water to the mixer, with which the product was equipped, with better ones. This way you protect yourself from the flood.

Installing a flush mounted mixer

Installing a hygiene system with a concealed mixer is much more complicated than installing it on a sink. Here you can not do without drilling the wall or making a special box in which the inside of the product will be hidden.

Flush-mounted mixer

It is best to entrust a job of such complexity to a specialist, but if you try, you can do it yourself. To carry out such work, there are several main stages:

Advice! When buying a concealed mixer, pay attention to the presence of an installation box. With it, you can facilitate the installation process.

Set a manual bidet according to the physiology of each user. Do not mount the mixer too low or very high. To achieve maximum comfort from using the system, check the usability. A person should not reach for a faucet or watering can.

A hygienic shower is an additional comfort that you can easily create with 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. Hygienic shower - a very convenient and functional application to the basic elements of plumbing.

Choosing a concealed mixer for a hygienic shower or wall-mounted model is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the key design features of such showers and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. But setting up a hygienic shower yourself is already more difficult - but here, guided by the tips given in the article, you can handle it.

The benefits of hygiene showers

Faucets with a hygienic shower are gradually included in the list of equipment, which, if not necessary, is highly desirable for installation in bathrooms. And if in private houses with spacious there is enough space to install a full-fledged bidet, then in public buildings and small apartments there is no alternative to such a shower.

Such devices have several advantages:

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

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

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

1. A plus is the effective maintenance of the sanitary condition of the restroom. A stream of water from the shower immediately flushes all sewage into the toilet, so you can refuse a bucket of “fragrant” used paper.

1. Finally, hygienic showers with a mixer are convenient from a utilitarian point of view. A sufficiently long elastic hose allows you to effectively wash the plumbing. In addition, this design is great for washing baby pots, cat trays, floor buckets, etc.

Well, the main plus is that the wall-mounted, and even more so built-in hygienic shower has a very compact size. Thanks to this, it can fit even in the most compact bathroom, where there is room only for the toilet. In this way, similar products compare favorably with classic bidets.

Design features

Varieties of hygiene devices

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

It is the latter option described in the table that is the most common. So in the future, I will disassemble it.

Main elements

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

1. The central part of the structure is the mixerused to adjust the water supply and select its temperature. The reliability of the entire system directly depends on the choice of the mixer, therefore a separate subsection will be given to the description of this part.

1. Shower Hose - Flexible Tubingconnecting the mixer to the shower head. The optimal hose length for a hygienic shower is from 1.2 to 2 m. This part can be made of either plastic or rubber with a decorative braid. Polymer models are more durable, but they have less fracture resistance, so use these hoses carefully.

1. Shower fittings - various hooks and clampsthat are put on the wall near. They can be made of bronze, brass or steel with a decorative coating that protects against corrosion. Silumin retainers are usually supplied with showers from the economy segment, but their service life is limited due to their low strength.

Sometimes the bracket is combined with a hose connection. In this case, it is installed simultaneously with the water supply system and connected to the mixer.

1. Shower head   - attached to the end of the hose, provides a spray of water flow. They differ not only in design, but also in functionality. The most useful features are switching the flow (from the spray to small drops) and adjusting the pressure directly on the nozzle. It is highly advisable to purchase just such models that you can turn on with the same hand with which you hold the watering can - this is very convenient!

Types of Mixers

The mixer, as I mentioned earlier, is used to adjust the pressure and temperature of the water coming from the water supply to the hygienic shower head.

To date, these types of mixers are used:

1. Dual valve   - the cheapest, characterized by ease of installation and maintenance. In fact, they are a pair of taps with slewing axles connected respectively to pipelines with hot and cold water. The optimal water temperature is selected by alternating the rotation of the flywheels on the taps, but when the pressure drops in the system, the temperature can change unpredictably.

1. Single lever   - make up the bulk of faucets for this category of plumbing equipment. Here you can find both an external hygienic shower with a mixer and a model for flush mounting, on which only a 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 axle box connected to water supply nozzles acts. Single lever models are more expensive and more difficult to install, but much more convenient to use.

Sometimes directories do not indicate the type of locking element. In this case, we pay attention to the product code and then on the manufacturer’s website we look for the characteristics of this particular model. The information obtained is useful when choosing a product, and when searching for parts necessary for replacement in the event of a breakdown.

1. Thermostatic faucets   - the most modern products. Inside the device there is a thermostatic element, due to which the temperature of the outlet water is always maintained at the same level. This contributes to the maximum level of comfort in use, but such a mixer is, alas, quite expensive.
     Unfortunately, finding a high-quality hidden temperature regulator is not easy, so you have to put up with the presence of the mixer body on the wall.

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

Self-assembly

Stage 1. Preparatory work

One of the advantages of hygienic showers is a fairly simple technology for their installation. You can install the product yourself, without involving specialists in the work. 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 installing, as well as on the condition of the room itself. For the installation of wall and built-in mixers with a hose, it is necessary to ditch the walls for laying pipes. But a hygienic shower can be put on the sink even after finishing work.

Strobing can be dispensed with in case of wall sheathing with plastic, giprokom or other materials with sufficient moisture resistance. So the installation process will be less time-consuming, but the pipes will still have to be fixed on the walls.

The preparatory phase includes the following operations:

1. First, choose a placeon which the mixer will be installed. It is advisable that a person can reach the lever or valves without getting up from the toilet.
2. Now we put on the walls a marking for laying pipes. As a rule, pipes with hot and cold water rise vertically up to the mixer, but here everything depends on the initial configuration of the water supply.

1. Now we begin to shatter the walls. First, select a hole with a depth of 85 - 100 mm for installing the mixer body. Then we bring pipe gates to this hole. The grooves cut or hollowed out by a perforator are cleaned of concrete / brick fragments and dust.

1. In the hole under the mixer, install the installation box.   We fix the box either with spacers, or using cement mortar.

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

1. We lay pipesleading them to the hole in the wall in which the mixer will be installed.

1. If you plan to install a wall-mounted model or a device with a thermostat, then you won’t have to bother with the hole and install the box. Instead, nozzles are fixed to the surface that are fixed so that they are exactly opposite the holes for connecting the mixer.

Stage 2. Installation of the mixer and other shower elements

Hygiene shower installation instructions will also be different.

So, when working with the built-in model, we act like this:

1. In the box or wall niche we install the mixer mechanism.

1. We connect hoses to itconnected to water pipes (hot and cold water).
2. Faceplate may need to be installed., to which the outer part with a lever or a flywheel will be further fixed.
3. After the installation is completed, we close the strobes   and carry out finishing work.

1. We install a decorative overlay on top of the finishing walland then attach the flywheel / pressure and water temperature control lever to the axle box or cartridge lever.

Mounting the wall model will be much easier:

1. To the conclusions of the water supply mounted on the wall, we connect the nozzles on the mixer body.
2. We fix the product   using nuts with gaskets, trying to tighten them tightly, but without deformation.
3. When using a model with a thermostat, we check the operability of the thermostatic element.

With the model for the sink, everything is quite simple: it is enough to fix the tap body on the sink itself and connect the hoses for supplying hot and cold water to it from below.

Now we have to complete the final operations:

1. In the selected place, with one or two anchor bolts we fix the lock for the shower head. If you need to install the mount on the wall, tiled, use a special drill on the tile.
2. We attach a shower hose to the threaded pipe on the mixer. Check the tightness of the connection.
3. We apply pressure and control the absence of leaks. Also at this stage it is worth checking how well the pressure and temperature are regulated, as well as whether the water on / off lever on the shower head is working reliably.
4. After that we hang the watering can on the mounted mount. Hygienic shower can be used!

Conclusion

The hygienic shower installation technology described above can be applied to almost any model of such devices. To understand the nuances, it is worth studying the instructions from the manufacturer and watch an informative video in this article.

If you still have questions after that - you can ask them in the comments.

During the repair process, the owners of the premises try to give the bathroom as much functionality as possible. To this end, in addition to the toilet, they install a bidet for convenient hygiene procedures. If the bathroom is small, then there may simply not be room for this. If you are faced with just such a situation, then the exit from it may be the installation of a combined plumbing fixture. The addition is a hygienic shower for the toilet with a faucet, which practically takes up no space, and brings huge benefits.

A modern hygienic shower is a simplified version of the well-known bidet, combining the functions of two plumbing fixtures. Its use in separate bathrooms is especially important, since there is no need to visit several rooms one after another.

The device consists of the following components:

1. Mixer with control valve. In high-quality models, there is an additional push button to turn on the water.
2. Flexible hose with a watering can. The shape and dimensions of the watering can are ergonomic enough for ease of use. The nozzles have a direction that ensures the movement of water jets directly in front of them, excluding their spraying to the sides.
3. Watering can holder. It is usually mounted on the wall next to the faucet in such a way that it can be easily reached by hand. A shower head is inserted into the holder.
4. Thermostat (on selected models). It allows you to adjust the temperature of the incoming water. Once you set the thermostat to a certain temperature, you can not make further settings. The thermostat is installed on more expensive models.

All shower elements are chrome plated, and the flexible hose is coated on the outside with a chrome braid.

Tip: Choose a shower model that has an extra water start button on the watering can. Using this device is more convenient and safe. You will not need to open and close the mixer valve, which is not always convenient.

The benefits of a shower

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

  Read about how to make it in a separate material on the site.

Do-it-yourself installation of this type of hygienic shower in the toilet is carried out in the following sequence:

• the old lid is removed from the toilet, and a bidet lid is mounted instead;
• water in the system is shut off;
• the tank is completely drained;
• the inlet 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 other is connected to the toilet lid;
• if the electric drive controls the device, then it is connected to a socket specially designated for this purpose.

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

The Silvermix Y25-52 is conveniently mounted on a wall next to a bidet or toilet. This is a budget option that is fully consistent with the declared functions.

How to choose a suitable model?

A hygienic shower equipped with a mixer differs in different parameters, but the main one is the type of installation.

This device is installed as follows:

• on the wall using open mounting;
• built-in option, hidden in the wall or behind the bezel;
• a mixer is mounted on the sink, to which a hose is connected.

It is quite simple to install a shower with a wall-mounted mixer; this does not require serious repairs, unlike built-in models. They have all the "stuffing" removed in the wall. Outside, there is only a laconic faucet and a hose with a watering can.

A built-in version of a hygienic shower will be more than appropriate next to a hanging toilet. The “filling” of the device can be placed in the same niche as the drain tank

It looks very aesthetically pleasing, but you will have to either build a decorative panel or hammer a small niche in the wall. Both of these options are suitable for installation in the toilet. If the faucet for such a shower is placed on the wash basin, then this is more likely to be applied in the combined bathroom.

Models in which the watering can holder is integrated in the mixer take up less space and are easier to install, but not everyone is comfortable using such a device

However, if the space of a separate restroom allows, you can install a corner or in it, and attach a hygienic shower hose to it. This solution significantly extends the functionality of the hygienic shower.

In a separate sink, you can perform various operations that are inconvenient to perform in a kitchen sink or bath: wash shoes, a baby potty, a tray of a pet, etc.

Such a device can be used to perform various additional actions: wash the toilet bowl, clean shoes, rinse a dirty container, etc.

Separately, it is worth considering the version of a hygienic shower equipped with a thermostat. On the one hand, this is extremely convenient, since you only need to select the temperature once so that the water is supplied to the watering can exactly as it is needed.

And on the other hand, it is a full-fledged electrical appliance that needs to be placed in a room with high humidity. It is important to observe all safety precautions. Such devices are expensive, the operation of the thermostat will increase slightly and the cost of electricity.

To supply water through a hygienic shower, a button or pedal is provided on the watering can. After use, it is recommended to drain the water from the hose to protect the valve of this device from overload

The next important point is the price of the product. Inexpensive models are usually short-lived and do not live up to expectations. Although if the device is correctly installed and neatly used, it can last several years. Of course, it is better to take a product of a famous brand.

This is especially true if you select an embedded model. Dismantling and repair in the event of a breakdown can be very costly.

Before buying, you should ask not only the availability of warranty obligations, but also how to fulfill them. If the city does not have a service center for repairs, warranty documents become almost useless.

Some owners of this useful device were somewhat disappointed with the result, because not all of their expectations were met. Very often this is due to the fact that the shower was not installed correctly or the features of this device were not initially taken into account.

Leaking a shower head is an inevitable phenomenon, especially in budget models. When the mixer is open, the flow of water is held only by a small button. With constant pressure, this knot weakens, water begins to leak out.

If the hygienic shower head begins to leak, you need to check the condition of the sealing element, it may be improperly installed or needs to be replaced

In order not to encounter this phenomenon for as long as possible, you just need to shut off the mixer every time. The impact on the valve of the watering can will be short-term, which will significantly increase the resource of its operation.

If the installation location is not selected correctly, using a hygienic shower will be inconvenient. The length of the hose is usually one and a half meters, but there are models in which the size of this element is only 120 cm. This difference may turn out to be significant, especially if the old device is changed to a new model with different characteristics.

Before installation, you need to consider the procedure for using the device, understand how convenient it will be to open and close the mixer, remove and hang a watering can, etc. Some have found that it is best to attach a wall model to a washbasin cabinet or cabinet near the toilet.

At the end of the procedures, a certain amount of water remains in the hose. It is best to merge it right away, but not everyone remembers it. As a result, the water cools down and delivers not the most pleasant sensations the next time it is turned on. It is recommended to drain the water from the hose and check its temperature before use.

Features of mounting the device

When installing any hygienic shower, first shut off the water. All necessary items are usually sold with the product. You will need a regular plumbing tool, for example, an adjustable wrench. It does not hurt to stock up with a bucket and a rag in case of unexpected leakage.

Models of a hygienic shower, which is mounted with a sink on the sink, are suitable for a combined bathroom, installing such a device is almost as simple as a conventional mixer

In advance, you need to compare the diameter of the pipes to which the device and the supply hoses of the device will be connected. If the pipes do not correspond to each other (this rarely happens), you should stock up with eccentric adapters.

On the pipes leading to the device, it is very advisable to immediately install stopcocks to facilitate the dismantling and repair of the device in the future.

Typically, the instructions describe in detail the procedure.

To install a shower with a mixer on the sink, you need to perform the following operations:

1. Connect the flexible hoses to the mixer by screwing them into their respective sockets.
2. Insert a gasket into the groove on the bottom of the mixer.
3. Install the faucet on the sink by threading a flexible lead into the corresponding hole (or holes).
4. Secure the position of the mixer with the nut and pressure ring.
5. Seal and connect flexible hoses and associated water pipes.
6. Fasten the wall mount.
7. Connect the shower hose to the faucet and watering can using the gaskets.
8. Perform a test run of water and eliminate deficiencies if they are detected.
9. Release hose from water residues and place watering can in holder.

If leaks occur immediately after installation, check the gaskets. Perhaps the element is skewed and you just need to fix it. It also happened that inexperienced masters simply forgot about this important “trifle”.

The hidden installation of such a device requires more attention, beginners do not often succeed in performing work without flaws. These models are more demanding on the quality of installation, since it will not be so simple to eliminate the consequences of errors: you will have to dismantle the part of the wall behind which the connection node is hidden.

Work is carried out as follows:

1. Select a location for all items.
2. Bring to the selected point of the water pipe, you may need gating.
3. Make a niche in the wall, hang a box, prepare a false panel, etc.
4. Connect the flexible hoses to the water supply.
5. Install the mixer and the watering can holder if it is mounted separately.
6. Connect the mixer to the hoses leading from the water supply.
7. Screw a hose with a swivel to the mixer.
8. Check all joints for leaks.
9. Perform a test run of water.
