About the latest design and will be discussed in our today's review.

Possible options

The first design - two functions combined in one device. To activate a bidet, it is necessary to press a button that allows the nozzle to be extended. From it will be supplied water. In some models, and is supplied to the nozzle is cold and hot water separately. In other mounted inside flow-type heaterWhich heats cold water. Good and convenient device, but expensive.

The second structure - it is a normal appearance toilet cover. It integrated flow heater and slide type injector. Side is a control panel that can be set temperature conditions for water supply and a button. This type of sanitary device also relates to devices not cheap type.

The installation method selected from the calculation convenience of mounting. When this temperature is governed by the water mixer lever.

Advantages and disadvantages of the soul, when compared to a bidet

No need to choose what is better: a toilet with bidet functions, with a lid or a shower. Each user decides this question for himself on the basis of ease of use and the unit price. Here it is necessary to compare stand-alone bidet and a device with a hygienic shower mixer:

• To install a separate toilet and bidet, you need a lot of space.

• There is no need to move from the toilet to the bidet when using the shower with a long hose. That is, hygienic procedures can be carried out directly over the toilet. That's a plus.
• The mixing device is usually hung on the wall near the toilet. If it is being operated for a long time, it is likely that its valve will leak. This wet areas on the floor.
• The bidet water off function operates automatically. Inwardly hygienic two locking devices: shut-off valve on the inlet pipe and watering lever. Last works automatically from the spring, but the valve has to be closed manually. And it does not always. If in water supply system a separate set pump, The hose would be in an open valve is always at a decent pressure, which, in the end, lead to its failure.

• Installation of a bidet - a difficult exercise, and some models of experts do not recommend to install their own hands. In this regard, mounted hygienic shower in the bathroom - simple.
• Lake nozzle with flexible hose from the mixer can be used for another purpose. For example, you can wash your own toilet or sink, children's pots or trays for pets.

An interesting fact is that the latter is an advantage sometimes is critical. This bonus in many apartments do not put.

Types of device and their installation

Basically hygienic shower mixers are divided according to the method and the installation location:

• wall type (flush and surface mounting);
• on shell.

wall type

From the name itself it is clear that the installation is carried out on a wall near the toilet. But all depend on whether or not the lead-in hoses are visible. There are several options.

Mixer options hygienic shower concealed installation

They need to connect flexible hoses, and the shower fixed on false wall. Sometimes it is installed inside niches, bringing a hose with watering can outside.

• If the device is mounted on the side wall of the toilet, the hoses have to be laid in a pre-made Grooves which are sealed after assembly repair mortar. In this case, often very utaplivajut mixer into the wall. On view is a lever and a watering can with a hose.

Hygienic shower with thermostat

This type of instrument can not be called a mixer, because it is only connected to a cold water pipe. In its construction set flow electric heater and through which moves the water from the pipe to the watering.

These settings can be used for outdoor installation only, because walling in the wall thermostat can not. The device itself is attached to the wall screws with plastic dowels or other means.

Attention! In addition to water this hygienic shower have to connect to the network and electricity supply. Therefore, we must also consider setting up this question.

There is another option open to install when the lead-in hoses are not recessed in Stroebe, and laid on the wall. They simply close decorative boxes.

Mounting the sink

This is the easiest option, because the mixer of this type is mounted on the shell, and is used as a normal crane. Its design has a transfer tube, to which is attached to a hygienic shower watering with a hose. It itself is attached to the wall on a special holder.

In this embodiment, it is necessary to provide location shell. It should be located at a distance of outstretched hands of a person sitting on the toilet.

Let's look at the order of the device works:

1. First opens the water flowing through the faucet in the sink.
2. Exhibited temperature.
3. Feed switches from a crane on a shower with a special key.
4. Once the hygiene procedures have ended, the key switch on the faucet, and then overlaps itself and the water supply.

Its main responsibility - to prevent the mixing of hot water into the cold (or vice versa) without mixing. Sometimes it happens that because of the cold water pipe is hot (or vice versa). This is what happens when the pressure weakens in one of the risers.

Installing concealed type

This is the most difficult option, because it is associated with shtroblenie walls. Primarily determined by the installation place: the rear dummy wall or side:

1. There is much simpler, because there is no need to Stroebe walls. Just trim the wall is a hole for installation of the mixer, where he established. a stick (arm) remains on the mind, which regulates water temperature and watering can with a hose.
2. The second embodiment is more complicated. To do this, not only Stroebe walls, but also made a niche under the faucet, where he established. An important task - to hold the right to secure machine, because a repair solution for this not to be missed. In most cases, fastening is made by means of perforated plates, e.g., by direct suspension for fastening metal sections for gypsum board. But there are now on sale and special mounting plates. One end of the mixer is fixed, the second on the screws to the walls. The photo below shows just such an option attachment.

Attention! By purchasing a mixer for concealed installation, be sure to check to see if there in its complete installation kit. If not, it will have to be purchased separately.
