Small apartments often have just tiny bathrooms, and therefore it is difficult to fit a full bathroom in them with all accessories due. For these cases sets of hygienic shower with built-in mixer are very suitable. You can install such a shower even in the tiniest bathroom, without decreasing its area, but with a comfortable place for hygienic procedures.
What is a hygienic shower with a mixer?
Depending on the design features, there are several types of hygienic shower with a concealed mixer. We will become acquainted with the peculiarities of each of them in order to consciously make their choice:
- Toilet bowl . It is a normal toilet, but it has a built-in hot water supply nozzle. The nozzle can be located both on the toilet body and on the retractable nozzle. To install such a hygienic shower, you have to replace the toilet in your house. Also you will need to bring water to it and mount a mixer that either comes with a bidet, or you need to buy it separately.
- A cover-bidet . No less effective cover-bidet. They are easier to install - they can be equipped with ordinary toilets. The covers can be electrical and non-electric. The former are often endowed with additional functions, such as heating water and a hair dryer. Of course, installing the lid is easier than completely changing the toilet. And for water supply, you just need to mount the tee to supply water to the tank behind the toilet. In this case, since there is no hot water supply, only cold will be used. But if the lid has the mentioned function of heating water, then the hygiene procedures will be comfortable.
- Wall hygienic shower with concealed mixer. It is very similar to the usual one, but there are a lot of differences in it. So, the watering can for a given shower is much less than usual. It necessarily has a shut-off valve. You can install such a shower both separately and on the toilet. For self-installation, it is necessary to provide a separate hidden niche in the wall for the supply of hot and cold water and, in fact, the installation of the mixer. At the exit you can enjoy a warm water. If you want to install such a shower directly on the toilet, then you need to connect the tee to the water supply in the tank. This option is easier to install, but you can only use cold water.
- Hygienic shower with concealed mixer and thermostat (Grohe, Hansgrohe, Migliore) . If you want the water at the outlet from the wall-mounted shower to immediately leave a comfortable temperature, it is better to buy a mixer with a thermostat. It will allow you to set comfortable degrees for water once and do not bother with setting yourself up.
Some features of a hygienic shower
Speaking about the device of such a soul, it is necessary to mention that it is a small watering can, called a spray. Its main
The water outlet is connected to a metal hose that is longer than a conventional hose for a shower bath. The hose is connected to a mixer or tap for a shower. If your bathroom has a sink, you can connect the shower to it. This option is the most convenient and economical. So, water with an open mixer flows from the tap into the sink, and after pressing the button on the watering can, it stops flowing from the tap and starts running through the hose and watering can.
