Bidet consoles and other toilet accessories

Absolutely every bathroom nowadays is quite possible to supplement with a bidet. It is not difficult to do this - you just need to purchase a bidet nozzle, or, as experts often call it, a prefix. In order to fix it, neither specialized installation skills nor free space in the bathroom are required - the device is extremely simple, while functional and ergonomic.

The nozzle of a toilet bidet cannot be fully called an analog of a standard bidet - these devices have different designs, and the principle of operation is different. Technologically, the nozzle is a panel with holes for fasteners that allow it to be fixed on the toilet lid. In most cases, hoses for supplying fluid and special nozzles are located on it.

To carry out all the necessary hygiene procedures, a small nozzle is provided, which extends under the strong pressure of the water, and, as a rule, is hidden before it is fed - this helps to protect the surface from pollution. The prefix is ​​additionally equipped with a mechanical or electronic panelso that you can change the angle of its inclination, control the pressure of the water and the level of its heating.

The mechanism of the nozzle is simple: when you open the installed faucet, water enters the system, the nozzle immediately releases it under a certain pressure, heated to the set temperature. Water is sprayed gently, but evenly - this allows you to thoroughly wash all the necessary parts of the body.

A few decades ago, a bidet could only be fixed near the toilet, but today, designers have created many options for a more compact placement of hygiene devices:

• nozzle covers;
• watering cans placed on the hose;
• laths which are built in a toilet bowl.

The nozzle with a mixer is a kind of watering can, which visually resembles a hygienic shower. It can have external or built-in placement. As a rule, such models are equipped with a hose, which ends with a small watering can. In case of need to carry out ablution, it is brought to the necessary place, they press a special button and turn on the water supply.

Depending on the variety, a thermostat can also be mounted in the mixer, which supplies water of a certain temperature. Choosing a prefix watering can, it is important to pay attention to the compatibility of the product with some toilet designsIn addition, it will be useful specify in advance what work will have to be done for self-installation of a specific nozzle.

Bidet nozzles provide the ability to perform all necessary procedures at a comfortable level. The base element of such structures are metal strips - they are fixed to standard holes on the toilet lid, screws are usually used for fasteners.

The mixer, as well as a hygienic shower, are mounted on the protruding surface, with the help of flexible hoses the structure is connected to the water supply - this way it is possible to supply both cool and heated water here. The most advanced models are equipped with special nozzles located on the sides of the plumbing equipment - at the right time they are put forward.

Bidets made in the form of a lid for the toilet are very popular. They are equipped with an electronic control system, which makes them especially popular in modern homes. Such products are fixed on the toilet, in addition they are equipped with several important options at once:

• a dryer with a supply of warm air;
• water heating control system;
• self-cleaning nozzles;
• slowly closing lid.

The most technologically advanced products are equipped with a microcomputer, so that you can set any necessary device settings in order to make sanitary procedures as convenient as possible. Water supply is carried out in several modes:

• standard wash;
• pulsating water massage;
• pendulum fluid motion.

If you decide to purchase a mini-bidet, you should find out what are the features of the choice of each type of product.

It should be noted that all three varieties of bidet nozzles have similar advantages:

• the implementation of hygiene procedures with their use becomes convenient and comfortable;
• a person does not have to move anywhere after using the toilet;
• water is used very economically - each procedure requires less than 1 liter of fluid;
• the equipment can be used by both the fairer sex and men, as well as children;
• the purchase of bidet nozzles saves the space of the bathroom, which is rather limited in standard apartments.

Installing models built into the lid provides additional advantages:

• the possibility of hydromassage, which is considered a good prevention of pathologies such as hemorrhoids and prostatitis;
• delicate drying, which allows you to refuse toilet paper - this is of particular importance in the period of exacerbation of certain diseases.

But the operational capabilities of the models vary significantly. So, a bidet shower is considered a universal model, as it fits almost any toilet bowl - this is its difference from the same cover, which should be selected taking into account the dimensions of the device itself.

The nozzle and shower products are characterized by ease of installation, as they do not need to be connected to the mains, while for the lid this is a mandatory part of the work.

The watering can and prefix are optimal in families of different ages, and when using the cover, you will have to buy an additional child seat and each time you use the toilet, put it on the child and then remove it - this is not always comfortable.

According to user reviews, the hygiene shower leads in terms of the duration of the operation period, and attachment attachments are in the second place, the electronic covers work the least this is especially true if a low-cost plastic model is used.

When choosing attachments and covers, special attention should be paid to the dimensions of the product - you need to accurately measure the distance between the fasteners. Some nozzles of famous brands provide for the possibility of adjusting the length in the range of 0.8-1 cm, but the vast majority of models do not have such options.

If you buy a cover - measure the length from the drain tank to the edge of the toilet in advance: if it is smaller than the control panel of the lid-bidet, then it will simply be impossible to install the design.

Well, of course, do not forget about quality. Nowadays, nozzle models are very popular, and this inevitably leads to the appearance of fakes on the market. In order not to become a victim of fraud, you should carefully study all the required documentation - ask the seller for quality and conformity certificates, as well as service and warranty coupons.

Bidet nozzles are classified as lightweight and easy to install. Installation of these devices will require only a few steps.

• Work begins with the installation of the mixer, after which an elastic hose is attached to it.
• Then the mixer is attached to the toilet bowl, the location of its central part, where the hole for draining the bidet is supposed, is adjusted, then it is fixed with a fastener. It is important not to forget to put special rubber pads under the mounts.
• The funnel is installed in the prepared hole, after which the drain hose is connected to the bottom of the entire product in the place where the siphon for the mini-bidet is placed.
• Markings are made on the floor to fix the fasteners and holes of the desired diameter are formed, before installation, the floor surface should be thoroughly cleaned, and then a bidet should be fixed, after making sure that the distance from it to the toilet bowl is observed - the model is firmly fixed with bolts. The siphon corrugation should be attached close to the drain pipe.
