If the size of the bathroom does not allow installing a bidet, then you can find an excellent alternative - a hygienic shower. It is compact, convenient, sterile. How to choose a shower for the toilet? Manufacturers produce products for internal and external installation, of course, hidden ones will look more aesthetically pleasing, but they will also require special hassle with installation. All elements of this unit will be hidden in the wall, and therefore it is advisable to connect a hygienic shower during a period when a full repair in the toilet is planned.

The equipment consists of:

• small diameter watering cans;
• hose up to two meters long.

Installing a hygienic shower in the toilet is often done directly on the toilet, under the lid, or near the sink, if it is nearby. When installing this device, it is necessary to take into account the place and height of the attachment so that all residents of the house are comfortable using it. Experts advise buying Finnish or German models that stand out for their compact size, attractive and aesthetic.

Installation of a concealed hygienic shower

All the eyeliner goes into the walls, there are models with a pull cord, and there are models with a hinged one. The holder can be fixed near the sink or toilet. Sometimes a hygienic shower is installed in a toilet with a thermostat. For a hidden installation of this unit, you will need a shower connection diagram. Such an installation is very demanding and responsible, the more accurately all the rules for installing the product are observed, the longer the model will serve its owners. It is imperative to draw up a project according to which the product will be mounted.

Wall mounted shower

More unpretentious installation, no special tools are required to mount it, the device kit is extensive, consists of:

• hose;
• watering cans;
• mounting plate;
• shower holder;
• diagrams for installing a hygienic shower with your own hands.

Installation principle

One end of the hose is screwed to the mixer, and the other is attached to the sprayer and inserted into the wall holder.

Attention: so that the shower does not deteriorate, you need to turn off the water after using it by pressing a special button that is on the product, or mounted separately.

The shower itself is made of stainless steel, the shower head is made of plastic, covered with chrome plating, the hose should be with metal inserts, so that over time it does not bend and cause water leakage. The course of installation work will depend on the characteristics of the purchased products; to install the shower you will need the same tools as for other plumbing work.

Installing a bidet without plumbing skills

Do-it-yourself installation of a bidet does not require special skills and professional knowledge. Before starting the installation, you need to choose high-quality equipment, for small rooms a suspended type is suitable, and for overall ones - floor ones. Tools to get the job done:

• hammer drill with drills;
• adjustable pipe wrench;
• mounting tape for insulation;
• silicone sealant;
• screwdrivers, wrenches.

Connecting a bidet begins with reading the installation instructions for the product. Next, a water mixer is assembled, a rubber pipe is attached to it. After attaching the hose, proceed to connecting the mixer to the bidet. Sealed gaskets and rubber bands are used, after full centering, the device is clamped with a wrench. All joints are treated with a sealant for greater reliability. The installation of the siphon in the bidet is carried out according to the principle of its installation in the sink. The funnel is mounted in the bidet hole, the gaskets are fixed with a special ring on the underside of the unit. The bottom of the siphon is connected to the corrugated pipe to the toilet sink.

Attention: the size of the hose must be exactly the same as the size of the drain hole

Further, the installation of the bidet independently goes to the final stage. The product is installed in the selected place so that the length of the hoses is enough. With the help of a drill we make small holes, so as not to damage the tiles, it is required to turn on the perforator at low speeds. We remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner and insert the plastic dowel into the hole. We fasten the bidet with bolts, be sure to attach the rubber gaskets between the hole and the fasteners in order to avoid the slightest cracks. When the equipment is firmly installed, we check the connections to all communications. The siphon corrugation is attached to the drain pipe and the hoses are connected to the water supply system.

The last step of the installation of the bidet

We check the operation of the device, the tightness of all connections. In the event of a water leak, repair all faults immediately. This is how the installation of a bidet and toilet goes. Let such compact and convenient hygiene items serve you for a long time and delight you with their functionality.
