Bidet is a very convenient plumbing fixture, although it is not widely used in everyday life. Nevertheless, if you are going to buy a bidet for your bathroom , think about choosing a mixer for it.
Technically, this device is similar to those that are installed on a washbasin or kitchen sink. However, the bidet mixer has a characteristic difference: it is equipped with an aerator with a special ball hinge, thanks to which you have the opportunity to change the direction of the water jet by 360 °.
Today in the market of sanitary ware there is a great variety of models of mixers. Let's talk about what they differ from each other.
Types of mixers
- A conventional single lever mixer allows you to adjust both the head and water temperature with a single lever.
- The two-valve mixer is a familiar form of mixing water for hygienic procedures.
- Mixer for bidet with shower. This modification is convenient because you can use your usual toilet as a bidet, while the mixer can be combined with a shower or washbasin. Such a bidet mixer with a shower head and a hose is suitable for those who have a toilet in a combined bathroom located close to the bath.
- Very practical and recessed wall-mounted mixer for bidets. And although it requires more complex installation work involving
piping directly in the wall near the bidet, after installation, such a mixer will look very neat and take up less space. - By the number of mounting holes (they can be 1 or 3), the mixer must match the model of the bidet itself.
- Mixers exist with flexible and rigid cabling. The second option is more practical to use, but the first is much easier to install.
- The bidet mixer with thermostat guarantees that when using this plumbing, you will not accidentally burn yourself with too hot water. The thermostat makes it possible to fix a specific water temperature, which is very convenient.
