Hansgrohe Hygienic Souls: Features and Model Overview

If you do water procedures more than once a day, you can harm the skin. In this regard, a sanitary device for hygiene was invented - a bidet in the form of a small bath. Housing in new buildings is quite spacious, and there is a place for such a device. And people living in houses built in the Soviet era can be helped by installing a hygienic shower. Such products are produced by many companies, among which the German brand Hansgrohe stands out.

Hansgrohe sanitary ware is of high German quality, as well as a variety of modern popular products. In particular, hygiene products occupy a large share of the company's assortment.

Hansgrohe hygienic showers have many advantages.

• Miniature. The device does not take up much space. The hygienic watering can can be located on a wall or any other surface.
• Reasonable cost. To equip a hygienic shower, you need to buy only a faucet, and bring water.
• Universality. A small watering can can be used when washing the animal’s paws after a walk in order to wash the pet’s tray or street shoes.
• Diverse design. The Hansgrohe hygienic shower has a large palette of colors and a variety of design options.

Despite the positive characteristics, the product also has disadvantages:

• the need to dismantle the finish when installing the built-in model;
• if the bathroom is not combined, then there is a need to purchase a thermostat;
• Constant water pressure in the pipes is required.

Of the variety of hygiene devices, several types can be distinguished.

The most popular type of mini-bidet. The package includes: faucet, hose, watering can, wall mount. The mixer is installed on a pipe that does not have a branch for the bath - the liquid immediately enters the hygienic watering can. Two types of installation are distinguished:

• openin which a set of parts is located in the field of view;
• closed, when there is only a water control knob and an outlet on the wall, where the hose, mixer and watering can are attached.

Before using the shower, the mixer must be moved to the open position.

During its installation, all parts are installed invisibly to the eyes in a special niche, or using structural elements of the finish. Such devices come with an internal mixer. A hygienic watering can and a control panel will be in sight.

This plumbing device is installed on the toilet, while the mixer is similar to the design used for the sink. The differences are only in the sink.

In the combined bathroom, if the toilet has a sink, then a hygienic shower joins it. Here we need a special mixer, which differs from the standard one in that it has a branch for the hygienic shower hose. The existing switch makes it possible to regulate the water by supplying it to the watering can. With a combined bathroom, this mechanism is the most acceptable. The watering can is fixed on the mixer, which allows water to enter the sink, rather than dripping onto the floor.

Hansgrohe has a wealth of product lines, including a range of hygienic showers. Consider the most popular models.

• Logis The set consists of a shower faucet, a hidden part of the faucet, a hose 125 cm long, a hose connection.

When choosing Hansgrohe products, it is necessary to pay attention to which mechanism delivers water, which will further facilitate the use of the product. The designs of hygienic showers are classified into valve, single-lever and thermostatic mechanisms.

In this system, the supply and distribution of water flow is carried out using two valves. One of them opens cold water, the other - hot. By turning them, you can adjust the temperature of the water to a comfortable state. This type of mechanism also has disadvantages:

• to adjust the desired water temperature using two valves, it is necessary to make many movements;
• two-valve mechanisms often leak, wear out quickly and have a low life.

In such a mechanism, the receipt and adjustment of the water temperature is carried out using a lever, which for solving these problems opens in any direction. The advantage of the mechanism is that it requires a minimum of movements to configure it. But there are also disadvantages that depend on where you plan to install this system. If in a private house, then there will be no problems. In a multi-storey building, some difficulties may arise that arise due to the fact that the mechanism is sensitive to the properties of the water entering it.

A single lever mechanism is of two types:

• ball represented by a polished ball;
• cartridge with two tightly aligned plates.

To ensure that the mechanism works without interruptions, it must be clean, which is impossible due to poor water quality in the central water supply system. Water contains many chemical impurities that adversely affect sanitary equipment. In addition to them, extraneous particles of sand and rust are present in the water supply system, which, having got into a closed mechanism, give a precipitate on its internal elements.

It is not possible to repair the cartridge, it can only be changed. It is not too costly but time consuming. At the same time, this drawback of single-link mechanisms can be easily eliminated by placing the filter on the water supply system.

They are a popular type of hygienic shower today. It differs from the rest in that it is possible to set the desired temperature indicator on it. Subsequently, when using, you do not need to make any settings - it will be enough just to click on a special button.
