Watering cans for hygienic shower: types and features

The most frequently visited room in the house is the toilet, and in order to make the time in it comfortable, it is important to choose the right plumbing for the implementation of hygiene procedures. Since most toilets are modest in size, installing a bidet in them is problematic. The way out of this situation can be the purchase of a device such as a shower head for a hygienic shower.

A hygienic shower is a device installed separately from the toilet with a water supply. Its main component is a watering can, it is fixed to the wall, so it does not interfere and easily slides out at any time when you need to put yourself in order. There are also modern models in which a hygienic shower is built directly into the toilet seat. Manufacturers produce watering cans with a number of additional functions:

• automatic control of water pressure and temperature;
• hydromassage;
• self-rinsing of the nozzle before and after the procedure;
• cleaning the air in the toilet from unpleasant air using a built-in filter.

The price of such accessories is high, so most users prefer to choose equipment in the form of a mini-bidet, consisting only of a mixer, a shower-bidet and a wall mount. Before giving preference to this or that model of a watering can, it is important to think carefully about all the details... So, if expensive repairs have been made in the bathroom, then the best solution would be to purchase a watering can with a shut-off valve, which can be built into the toilet. If the repair work has not been completed, then it is best to draw the conclusion of an open mixer.

A distinctive feature of hygienic watering cans from showers is that they have other design characteristics.

• Smaller dimensions. They are almost invisible, which allows them to fit in the original design of the room.
• Number of nozzles... With hygienic watering cans, it is minimized (their nozzles are thinner), thanks to which water is not splashed during use.
• The presence of an overlap pedal. This is the most important difference that hygienic watering cans have. The system of the device is equipped with a special shut-off valve, which, when the pedal located on the handle is pressed, opens and supplies water.

Many people think that a hygienic shower head is useless nonsense, but in fact it is not. Such a device reduces the risk of various diseases and excludes frequent visits to the proctologist and gynecologist, as it is one of the main means of personal intimate hygiene. Also, with the help of this device, caring for the baby is greatly simplified. Watering cans are especially indispensable for sick people or retirees who find it difficult to perform hygiene procedures under a regular shower.

As for the shortcomings, this plumbing also has them, namely:

• during the installation of the watering can, it is necessary to additionally provide for the presence of some kind of container, otherwise a huge puddle may run under it from the remnants of water;
• if there are small children in the house, then you will have to ensure constant control over the device, otherwise it will turn into a toy for little fidgets and there will be a constant flood in the toilet;
• the grid on the watering can must be changed periodically, and this entails additional costs;
• such a device is not suitable for people with a large build, it is difficult for them to perform hygiene procedures in this way.

For the rest, the watering can is considered a profitable investment and a convenient accessory, which is quite realistic to install with your own hands.

Now the plumbing market is represented by different types of hygienic shower for the toilet, each of which differs in price, design features and method of operation. Consider the most common types of such a device.

• The first type is a toilet with a built-in hygienic watering can. This is a simple design, but its price is high, and when some part fails, it is necessary to change the toilet. In the event of a breakdown, you will also have to redo the entire water supply system. Before installing such models, you should dismantle the old toilet and install a new device. Built-in watering cans have a water supply from the bottom, but the control knob can be placed both on their side surface and from above.

• The second type is a shower head for a hygienic shower, installed separately from the toilet and equipped with a mixer... This is an inexpensive option that anyone can afford. The only thing is that before buying this accessory, you need to worry about the correct laying of the water supply wiring. This is due to the fact that such a watering can requires a tap located next to the toilet. Manufacturers often supplement these models with a button, which makes them convenient to use (there is no need to reach for the mixer to shut off the water).

• Third type. This device is intended for small bathrooms, as it is installed directly on the sink and takes up little space. In these models, the mixer on the washbasin simply changes to a pull-out shower head, which has a special regulating button.

In addition to the above devices, toilet-bidet... Its design provides for water supply through a retractable nozzle with a watering can or a spray bottle. This option is considered an excellent choice for small toilets where space is rather limited. Some manufacturers complete this device with a separate hose with a watering can, but it costs much more than standard models.

Despite the fact that all of the above types of watering cans are convenient to use and allow you to comfortably carry out hygiene procedures, it is important to pay attention to the fact that they are equipped with a temperature regulator for water supply.
