How to install a hygienic shower in the toilet

The first written mention of the word bidet appeared in 1710 in the memoirs of a French marquis. And although more than three hundred years have passed, this hygienic device is still not in every house.





In our small bathrooms, there is usually no place for bidet, even with a great desire to install it. However, creative thought does not stand still. An acceptable solution I once looked at friends. I like that it almost does not take up space and costs a penny!





A simple, cheap and practical way out of the situation is a wall hygienic shower. Any toilet can be turned into a bidet. But, even if you are not interested in the analog bidet, a hygienic shower in the toilet itself provides additional comfort and a number of undoubted advantages.





Benefits of showering in the toilet
  1. A jet of warm water allows you to clean intimate areas much more efficiently than the best quality toilet paper.


  2. All sewage is immediately flushed into the toilet, so sanitary condition is maintained at a high level.
  3. Mucous membranes and skin are not injured by contact with toilet paper.
  4. Connecting a hose with a shower nozzle right next to the toilet facilitates sanitary treatment of plumbing. In addition, with the help of such a device, it is much easier to wash a baby pot or a cat tray right on the spot.


  5. If more than two people live in the same apartment, and the bathroom is separate, a hygienic shower can be a great opportunity to clean up if the bath is occupied by other family members.






But the main advantage is that this device has a very compact size. This means that you can place it even in a small bathroom of a typical apartment - where a miniature sink will cover almost half of the room.

Installation options Installation of a hygienic shower It can be carried out both before and after the repair of the bathroom. At the same time, the connection is made to those communications that are available. These are risers of hot and cold water or internal wiring.





A shower for the toilet is somewhat different from a shower for the bathroom: it is smaller, and also equipped with a special shut-off valve that prevents water from flowing at a time when no one is using the shower. There are three types of hygienic shower for the toilet: combined with the sink, wall, built-in.

  1. Coupled with sink
    The most advantageous to use, and also, in the presence of a sink, an easy to install option. A small sink in the toilet not only allows you to comfortably wash your hands, but can also serve as a reliable place for a hygienic shower. To save yourself from problems with leaks, a hygienic shower can be connected to a mixer. In this case, the water will be safely drained into the sink. As a disadvantage - in the toilet is not always possible to install the sink, even the smallest.




  2. Wall-mounted
    In this case, the mixer and shut-off crane are attached to the pipes coming out of the wall: on the one hand, the shower hose is connected to the mixer, and on the other hand, with a waterer that is attached to the wall holder. Hygienic shower with wall mixer It is convenient, quite cheap and not suitable only for those people who may be confused by the aesthetic side of the design.


  3. Built-in
    It is divided into removable lids-bid and toilet-bid. Installation and installation of such structures are not too complicated, but their cost is much more than in the first two versions. Initially, bidet covers were intended for seriously ill patients unable to care for themselves. They appeared in European and American hospitals in the middle of the last century.





    The first models were a removable toilet seat, which had a nozzle to supply water from the plumbing. In the future, the bidet covers were improved and equipped with heating, air drying, electronic control and deodorization.

    The latest models are equipped even with music players and various sensors, and also have an antibacterial coating on nozzles and a plastic seat.








Hygienic shower is an inexpensive replacement for bidets in small bathrooms, as well as an excellent solution for a large family. It helps maintain hygiene and becomes the best assistant when cleaning the bathroom and its accessories.
