Rules for choosing a watering can for a hygienic shower: types of structures and their features

Comfortable conditions for intimate hygiene in the bathroom - a fundamental desire of all who make repairs in the bathroom. Sophisticated hygienic shower next to the toilet allows you to use it with convenience and benefit. Installing such a device is not difficult when arranging a bathroom. But with such an acquisition, you will never be able to part, because it is truly comfortable. The nuances that need to be considered before the purchase, we analyze further.

Kinds

Hygienic souls come in 3 types:

  • a hygienic shower with a toilet bowl (this can be a toilet bidet, or a special lid, or just a shower connected directly to the toilet);
  • wall hygienic shower (can be built into the wall or wall);
  • hygienic shower, installed with a sink or bath faucet (faucet sets with Damixa hygienic shower are very popular).

All of these varieties have advantages and disadvantages.

In any case, the main components of the hygienic shower are:

  • mixer;
  • hose;
  • watering can and holder for it (usually supplied).

Design features

Lake is an important part of the soul. Otherwise, this design is also called watering-bidet.

The main features that distinguish it from the shower head are:

  • Dimensions. It is compact, unlike a simple shower head.
  • Thin nozzles. For a hygienic shower, it is important that water does not splash in different directions.
  • Overlap button. The main important difference from simple shower watering cans is the presence of a water on / off button located on the handle of the watering can bidet.

Watering cans are different in their design features. Let us examine their differences and features of the main models.

Overlap button

The overlap button plays an important role in the design of the bidet, as its main function is to shut off the water without closing the mixer.The design is simple - the spring is attached to the button; when pressed, the valve opens, without pressing the valve closes. Using the same button you can adjust the flow rate.

You can find several options for the location of the keys on the bidetIt is more convenient to decide which of them is more convenient in the store by testing the press with your own hand. The button can be located directly above the sprayer, then pressing it will be easy to produce with your thumb. It can also be on the handle-holder, in this case, pressing is done with several fingers, mainly the index and middle.

From the point of view of adjusting the flow, the second option is preferable; it is more convenient with several fingers to regulate the flow of water and the likelihood that they will jump off the button less than in the first version with one thumb.

    As for the materials from which the keys are made, there are two options:

    • plastic buttons (for example, the model Oras Optima);
    • metal, from the main material of the watering can itself (Grohe Eurosmart).

    Equipment of a watering can with the valve of the return current of water

    The valve is installed in the event that, through carelessness, you could leave the hygienic shower faucet open and the overlap button (shut-off valve) closed.For this reason, hot water may enter the cold water supply system, this is due to the pressure difference in pipes of different temperatures (as a rule, hot water is more pressure). Such a check valve will not allow the water to mix in the risers. Manufacturers that produce products with such equipment - Hansgrohe, Grohe, Wasser.

    Anti-lime coating

    The presence of such a coating facilitates the regular maintenance of sanitary products. Such models are found in manufacturers Iddis, Grohe, Jacob Delafon.

    Sediment removal

    Under conditions of increased water hardness, plumbing can leave a large amount of mineral deposits, which significantly shorten their service life. At the manufacturer of shower parts Bossini, you can find the original models of the cast-bidet with the Easy-clean function - they have special rubber diffusers that allow easy cleaning.

    Number of nozzles

    One to multiple sprinklers are installed on watering cans, they can be directed to a thin stream or can be poured out with the Rain function. Several of these models are present in the lineup of the manufacturer Bossini.Mono-jet is used as a hydrobrush for toilets, the popular model is Bossini Paloma.

    Holder for watering can

    Such a simple detail as the holding mechanism of the watering can is very practical and functional. For example, some models are equipped with a watering can holder that covers the water.

    This is one of the options for forgetful people who may not turn off the mixer, but their hygienic shower is not equipped with a backflow valve. Only at that moment, when the watering can is inserted into place, the water pressure will overlap.

    The holder can be wall-mounted, of various shapes and sizes. Sometimes it is immediately attached to the mixer, making up with it one design. In embedded hygienic shower options, as a rule, the watering can is attached to the hose connection.

    Color solutions

    The most common color shower heads - chrome. But in order to ensure an individual style of bathrooms, manufacturers produce both white, and black, and brass watering cans. A striking example of a black model is the Jacob Delafon from the Evea collection. The most popular white model is produced by Hansgrohe.

    Grohe BauEdge and BauLoop models are also often on the top of sales. An unusual style of details in bronze color can be found at the manufacturers Fiore and Migliore, made of alloys of bronze and brass.

    Advantages and disadvantages

    The main benefits of using a hygienic shower include:

    • compact design;
    • inexpensive cost (regarding the purchase of a bidet);
    • esthetic appearance (in models of the hidden type);
    • comfort of use for intimate hygiene;
    • the ability to use for different purposes (to get water in a bucket, with a lot of pressure to wash the toilet, sink, floor).

      There are also disadvantages.

      • The use of a hygienic shower is as comfortable as possible with the use of a thermostat mixer, which includes significant additional financial costs.
      • When choosing a toilet bowl kit complete with a hygienic shower, purchase a new toilet bowl.
      • When installing the shower concealed installation - will have to destroy the finish in the bathroom.

      Maintaining hygiene after each use of the toilet bowl significantly reduces the risk of developing infectious diseases. Therefore, such a device as a hygienic shower is increasingly gaining popularity among consumers.It is more compact than a bidet, has an aesthetic appearance, and different configurations of models will allow you to choose the right one and install at any time without long preparation.
