It's no secret that the bathroom is practically the most visited place in the house. Therefore, for a comfortable stay there, it is so important to make high-quality repairs and choose convenient, functional plumbing. The best example of such plumbing would be a hygienic toilet bowl.
Varieties of hygienic watering can
Today, there are several varieties of hygienic watering can. Accordingly, each type has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. But an important point for each device is to regulate the temperature of the supplied water. This is where saving is not appropriate, and the best option would be to purchase a thermostatic water control lever that keeps the temperature constant. It has two levers, with the help of which both the water supply and its temperature indicators are controlled. Consider them in more detail.
Toilet with hygienic shower
Such models immediately complete with a toilet bowl have a hygienic watering can. The design of thisplumbing is quite simple, but at the same time it is not cheap. The fact is that if any part breaks, you will have to change the entire structure along with the toilet, since it is impossible to build in these elements separately. In addition, such breakdowns lead to the fact that the plumbing system itself will have to be redone.
In order to install such a model, you need to dismantle the old toilet and install the selected equipment. Here you need to be prepared for the fact that often there are difficulties with the supply of hot water, i.e. you have to lay an additional part of the pipe, which is connected to the nearest plumbing fixture, such as a sink. Water for such structures is supplied from below, and the control knob can be from above or from the side.
Faucet with hygienic watering can
In these models, hygienic watering cans are installed separately. Such a hygienic watering can is inexpensive, but it also has its drawbacks: you need to think over the layout of hot and cold water in advance. This is because this shower requires a faucet similar to a bathtub, but it will be located near the toilet.
This type of plumbing has its own design feature - a button on the watering can. With its help, the water is blocked quickly, and you do not need to reach for the mixer for this. Do not leave the lever in the open position, as the pressure in the rubber hose can lead to breaks in the metal hose.
In this model, two types of mixers are installed: the first is simply mounted on the wall, the second is built into a specialniche. In the first option, the hygienic watering can is attached to the wall with a certain holder, and in the second case, there is a button to turn off the water.
Bidet toilet and bidet cover
In the first case, water is supplied using a special sprayer or retractable fitting. This model is very convenient in small spaces, as it takes up little space. The bidet is equipped with a separate hose through which water is supplied. The disadvantage of such a device is the high price.
Here, the hygienic shower in the bidet lid is built into the seat with the lid. A big plus of this design is that it is universal and fits any toilet bowl. There are even electric models, however, they will not work without electricity. Minus - high price.
Installation of a hygienic shower
Those who have installed ordinary faucets on their own will be able to install such plumbing without much difficulty. To do this, you need only the necessary materials and tools.
First, check the availability of items in the package. Standard Includes:
- hygienic shower head with water on/off button;
- flexible hose;
- mixer;
- wall holder.
Of course, you can't do without the following tools: hammer, screwdriver, impact drill, adjustable wrench.
At the beginning of work, you need to properly fix the water supply hose into the watering can, and install rubberseals. They are needed so that there are no leaks. If water still leaks after assembly, then the gasket is not installed correctly, or the thread is loose. You just need to sort out the design and tighten the thread harder. But you shouldn't overdo it either - you can break the thread.
The hygienic watering can itself in the toilet, as mentioned above, can be wall-mounted and hidden. When installing the first, there are no problems, but when installing the second, there are some nuances. How it is installed, we will consider below.
Installation steps
1. In the wall you need to make a recess and lay channels to it. Water will be supplied to the mixer through two channels, and out through one.
2. Then the mixer itself is installed.
3. Next comes the plumbing. Here it is recommended to use copper or polypropylene pipes. After that, the pipes need to be hidden.
4. At the last stage, you need to install the lever and the hose with the watering can.
Following this instruction, you can not worry about the reliability of the installed structure.
