Types of hygienic soul
The hygienic shower is a rather wide concept that combines an extensive range of devices that differ from each other with their design. The choice of one or another type of hygienic soul depends primarily on the technical capabilities of its installation. Also, the choice of the type of hygienic soul can be rendering. On some models, it can reach several hundred dollars.
Unit-built system. This is one of the most technological systems that combines the toilet and bidets in one device. The positive side of such a device is a significant savings. In the toilet with the built-in hygienic shower, nozzles are arranged separately or extended on a separate bracket. The second option is a bit more convenient, however, it is more expensive. The hygiene soul system is connected by a separate pipeline with a valve. At the request of the client, such devices can be complemented by adjusting the temperature of the supplied water, as well as a drying hairdryer with warm air. In some devices, manufacturers offer a seating temperature control system. Due to the fact that the hygienic shower in such devices is installed in the toilet itself, the probability of water spraying during its use is rather low, which is one of the main advantages.
Cover-bidet. This is a high-tech model that can turn any toilet in the bidet. The advantage is simplicity and relatively low price. Easy installation, which, by following instructions, can be easily accomplished with your own hands, the possibility of permutation to another product when moving - makes the biden cover one of the most optimal elections for small apartments. The disadvantage of such a decision can be the fact that such a lid may not approach some model of toilet bowls, so before buying it is worth checking this time. This cover is connected to the pipeline with a separate shut-off valve. Additional options of some models can be - control of water temperature, heated seating, drying with a built-in hair dryer. True, the cost of covers with additional functions is quite high. Also, when choosing such a device, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of connecting to the power grid.
Hygienic toilet mixer(under the sink). This option of the device for hygiene procedures after the toilet is one of the easiest solutions. It does not require special skills for installation and its cost is relatively low. However, along with simplicity and low cost, this kind of hygienic soul has a number of significant drawbacks:
- It is suitable only for combined bathrooms, in which the toilet and sink are installed at the same time. Moreover, the distance between them should be small that the mixer hoses are enough.
- When using the device, a lot of water is often sprinkled, which brings a great inconvenience.
- It is absolutely not suitable for full of people who will use his use to bring a big inconvenience.
- Such a shower is connected in most cases only to one pipeline (or hot or cold water), which creates certain inconveniences.
- If there are juvenile children in the apartment, the device can become a source of flooding due to the inquisitiveness of the latter.
Built-in shower with separate connections. Today, when repairing the bathrooms, all communications often hide, including Bachek toilet, for false wall. In this case, it is advisable to perform a separate connection of a hybrid hygienic shower. Installation to two water supply pipes separately make it possible to adjust the water temperature for procedures. Such a system at the expense of a hidden layout looks very original. Installation of the built-in mixer requires a large skill, since when damaged pipelines or leaks from flooding compounds cannot be avoided. The price of such a set is not too high in comparison with other models.
Unitaise hygienic mixer(attached). This type of hygienic soul is great for installation on the already connected toilet. To perform this connection to the toilet in the connection site, a tee is installed to which the hygienic shower is mounted. The sprayer is attached to the wall using a special bracket. The advantage of such a system is its low cost. The shortcomings of the connection are exactly the same as when mounting the shower on the mixer under the sink, the only difference, it can be mounted in a separate bathroom.
Installation of various hygienic soul systems
The installation process of any hygienic soul system is quite simple and any person can perform it at least once a key in his hands. A set of materials and spare parts depends on which system will be installed, and how automated it is automated.
To carry out the installation of the hygienic soul, you will be guaranteed:
- A set of keys. Divorced keys, although it is noticeable to facilitate the task, but in some cases it is not entirely convenient.
- Winding material. Any threaded connections need winding that compacted them, preventing leaks. To do this, you can use the pass or rubberized tape (often called FMUM).
- If the design is mounted on the wall, you will also need a drill (perforator), a set of fasteners, a screwdriver.
- We will also need a roulette, level.
Installing a toilet bowl Nothing is almost different from the installation of the toilet. The first thing is dismantled by an old device. It is installed in its place toilet bidet. Since a similar device has one connection point, no tees are needed. If a new device is structurally different from the old and the toilet hole does not coincide with the sewage pipe, the corrugation is used to connect them. In the presence of built-in water heating for hygiene procedures, the toilet is connected to the power grid. The connection scheme must be specified in the instructions. If there is a hot water connection for such a device, then you must organize an additional input point.
Installing a bidet. At the initial stage, the old toilet cover is dismantled. Then the tee is mounted to the input to the toilet, from which the flexible hose is assigned. Next, this hose is connected to the thread on the lid. Then the new cover is screwed to the toilet bolt with fasteners. Just like the previous case, you may need to connect to the power grid.
Hygienic shower with mixer. If the sink is installed in the bathroom, the installation of the hygienic soul is made from below. In the nozzle in which the cold water hose is connected for the mixer, the tee is inserted. The hygienic shower hose is connected to it. A shut-off crane is screwed into the tee, which will overlap the water supply to the shower. A special bracket is attached separately to the wall, to which the watering can be suspended.
Installation of the hygienic mixer connected to the toilet - In general, a simple thing. The shower system with a bracket for the support of the watering can have a kind of tee. It is screwed to the thread of the toilet valve, and the shower hose and the toilet submission are screwed to it. The whole system is going to maximize in 30 minutes.
Installation of the hygiene shower with a mixer of hidden mounting
As mentioned above, such a system has a large number of advantages, which determines the popularity of such models.
Since these systems are installed inside the fox panels, they are installed only during repair work:
- First of all, it is necessary to determine the installation site of the mixer. It should be such that for any family member it was convenient to use it. After that, inside the false walls, tees are installed on hot and cold water.
- Brass threaded pipes are screwed into the tees at the end. After the false wall is installed, the nozzles are displayed and the hygiene shower mixer is connected.
- All connections must be checked under water pressure before finishing. Otherwise, if they flow, then the first to know the neighbors from below. Therefore, to the installation process for a false wall, it is necessary to spend very carefully and using high-quality materials.
In some rooms, the mixer is installed behind the wall, however, in this case, the process of water temperature adjustment is significantly complicated. Although, it is worth noting that such a system looks more attractive due to the fact that the main equipment is hidden from the eyes.
Since the incorrect operation of this equipment can lead to poor consequences, experts advise preferred proven brands.
