Toilet bidet shower with mixer: a worthy alternative to a bidet

Toilet shower with mixer: choosing the best model

You can create comfortable conditions for intimate hygiene with the help of a hygienic toilet shower. It is not difficult to acquire and install such a device; moreover, its price is quite democratic. It is worth familiarizing yourself with the existing types and models of wall-mounted mixers with a hygienic shower.

Manufacturers offer several varieties of compact devices for personal intimate hygiene. They differ in design and, accordingly, in cost. These are models that are built into the toilet lid or directly into the toilet, mounted on the wall or sink.

Faucets for hygienic shower in the toilet

The popularity of the hygienic shower with mixer for toilet bowl is rapidly gaining momentum. Given the modest size of the bathrooms, it allows you to acquire a bidet function in cramped conditions. Many buyers have appreciated the idea of ​​manufacturers to combine a hygienic shower with a mixer.

The design of a faucet with a hygienic shower (photos are presented on the manufacturers' websites) is no different from conventional washbasin faucets, except for the addition of a hose with a hand shower for a hygienic shower. The watering can is attached to the wall or to the toilet cistern, which makes it comfortable to use for hygienic purposes. I would like to note that mixer can function separately from the hygienic shower itself, since water flows into the shower only when a button is pressed on the shower itself.

If the bathroom is equipped with a sink, it makes sense to purchase a basin mixer with a hygienic shower. The design of a hygienic shower in the toilet (photo confirming this) is somewhat different from the shower for the sink.Firstly, the can itself is more compact, and the flow control is enclosed in a button on the can. Often, after carrying out the procedures, many turn off only the button, without closing the mixer tap itself. In this case, the shower hose remains under pressure, which is fraught with undesirable consequences.

In the case when a hygienic shower is combined with a sink mixer, this will not happen, since, when the shower is closed, water will flow through the mixer spout. In any case, leaving the mixer tap open will not work.

Prices for faucets with a shower for the sink range from 4600 rubles (SMARTsant, Russia) to 37500 rubles (Grohe, Germany).

Wall-mounted faucets with hygienic shower

You can quickly transform a toilet into a bidet with a bidet mixer with a hygienic shower. Such a device is usually installed on the wall near the toilet. The model of a wall-mounted hygienic shower does not include a spout; water is supplied by pressing a button on the shower head, with the preliminary opening of the shut-off valve. The mixer is installed at a height convenient for all family members. A towel holder and a soap dispenser are installed next to the shower head holder.

Wall-mounted bidet mixers with hygienic shower can be installed in combined bathroom or in a toilet room. The latter option allows you not to go to the bathroom for hygiene procedures. In addition, the presence of a water supply to toilet can significantly facilitate cleaning the bathroom, allow you to collect the necessary water capacity, rinse the baby pot or flush the main dirt from the shoes into the toilet.

You can buy a faucet with a hygienic shower for the toilet at a price ranging from 400 to 10,000 rubles. An inexpensive but high-quality hygienic shower can be found in Russian manufacturers, as well as in some European companies. Models with a reasonable price can be found from the Czech company Lemark, the German company Grohe.

Helpful advice! To purchase the model you like at a better price, follow the discounts on the product you are interested in in online stores and on the official websites of manufacturers.

Shower heads made of plastic or brass, flexible hose - of metal or plastic. Taking into account the quality of the material, the price of the product is formed. The models of the hygienic shower are presented in different colors: chrome, gold, bronze, copper, the effect of aged metal, etc. It is possible to choose a hygienic shower of the appropriate color for any style of the bathroom and toilet you choose.

Hygienic shower with thermostat

A wall-mounted hygienic shower is often equipped with a thermostat that maintains a constant set water temperature, avoiding sudden jumps. Moreover, the reaction to the temperature difference is instantaneous. Hygienic shower models with a thermostat are quite convenient and safe compared to conventional products.

Regardless of the pressure and temperature differences, the outlet is provided with water that is comfortable for taking procedures at a temperature. The thermostat is equipped with a limiter to prevent excessively hot water from entering the shower. The thermostat is controlled by a button on its handle. The presence of check valves in the thermostat excludes the possibility of mixing water.

Hygiene showers equipped with a thermostat will be a real boon for families with small children. You don't have to worry that the water will be too cold or hot at the right time. In addition, if the water from the water supply system is not too warm, which is often observed in apartments with centralized hot water supply, it will not have to be drained, waiting for a comfortable temperature. Accordingly, water consumption will be greatly reduced.

The cost of models with a thermostat is significantly higher, but this pays off in the degree of comfort in care and personal hygiene.

Products of the German brand Grohe are in demand.

A less expensive model of a hygienic shower in the toilet is a bidet cover. In this model, the bidet function is integrated into the toilet seat cover. These are the most advanced systems with a set of several options: remote (from the remote control), electrical and mechanical control, built-in hair dryer, heated water supply.

Such bidet covers can be installed on almost any existing toilet, however, the demand for them is not so great, given the high cost of the equipment. Given the remote control, such models are suitable for installation in homes where people of old age or those with disabilities live. Carrying out procedures with the help of a hygienic shower will become more affordable, quick and convenient for them.

Materials for the manufacture of bidet lids are used with antiseptic properties. The remote control is usually located on the side of the cover itself. The bidet lid features the following options:

Self-assembly of the hygienic shower on the wall

In addition to its functional qualities, the advantages of a hygienic shower include its easy installation. Its installation does not require special preparation or, moreover, repair. The mixer with shower is mounted to the existing pipework. Moreover, you can connect in any place convenient for you.

If the bathroom area has a sink, it is recommended to give preference to a hygienic sink shower. The principle of operation of such a mixer with a hygienic shower is as follows: when you open the lever, water enters washbasin through the faucet spout and into the shower hose. But the shut-off valve prevents water from flowing out of the shower head until you press the button on the shower head. As soon as water flows out of the watering can, it stops pouring from the mixer spout. This principle of operation allows in any case to shut off the water after the procedures using a lever.

Helpful advice! When making an independent installation of a hygienic shower for a toilet, observe the correct position of the flexible hose so that it does not twist or be pinched by other devices.This will extend its life.

If there is no sink or the toilet is not combined with the bathroom, install a hygienic shower for the toilet. The watering can is attached with a holder on the wall to the right or left of the toilet.

The installation of built-in models of faucets with a hygienic shower presupposes the presence of hidden piping, for which you will need to arrange a strobe in the wall. Therefore, such models are recommended to be installed during the renovation in the bathroom. For installation, a niche is cut in the wall, where the invisible part of the mixer will be attached, pipes are laid in the grooves made and connected to the mixer. Next, a hose with a watering can is connected, the control lever is brought out to the visible part of the wall and covered with a decorative panel.

Faucets with a hygienic shower for the toilet are a relatively young generation of sanitary devices, but they quickly gained popularity among buyers. Incredibly easy to use and easy to install, hygienic showers are a great addition to any bathroom style.
