How to avoid unpleasant moments associated with the operation of a hand shower
Sometimes, as a result of the fact that the owner does not know how to properly use the hygienic shower in the toilet, there are unpleasant moments associated with mixing water
It is important here not only to install such a device in your home, but also to be able to use it correctly.
When opening a valve with cold water, you can sometimes find that a hot stream is flowing, which means that such a phenomenon occurs either due to improper use of the water supply of neighbors in the riser or due to incorrect actions on your part. Knowing what a hygienic shower is and how to use such a device for women, men and children, you will greatly facilitate the process of carrying out procedures related to human intimate hygiene.

Materials for the manufacture of mixers
Brass is considered the most suitable material for the production of mixers. From above, products can be chrome-plated or enameled. Such products are quite practical and work for a long time. Devices made of chromium are more expensive, but they have one undoubted advantage - harmful bacteria do not develop on such a surface. And plastic is mainly used for shower heads and faucet handles.

Types of mixers by installation method
According to the installation method, all faucets for a shower box or cabin can be divided into two groups:
- wall;
- embedded.
The principle of installation of wall-mounted shower faucets is the same as for similar fixtures for a bath or sink. They differ only in the absence of a tap for water outlet. The installation of many of them is not very difficult, it is enough to watch the video to install them.
Built-in faucets look visually more attractive. They equip, basically, expensive models of shower cabins. All working elements are hidden from view, located in the wall behind the cabin panel, only the control system zone itself is located outside.
The location of the tap in the bathroom according to SNiP
Despite the fact that each consumer independently decides at what height the faucet is to be installed above the bathtub, quite specific requirements for the installation height of faucets are indicated in regulatory building acts. According to the documents SNiP 3.05.01-85, the following standard is indicated - the distance from the bathtub to the tap must be at least 200 mm, and the height of the faucet in the bathroom from the floor must be at least 800 mm.
At the same time, according to regulations, the recommended parameters can be changed. So, for hospitals and healthcare facilities, to install a faucet, you need to measure the distance from the floor and install the faucet at a standard height of 1100 mm. And in the shower option, the distance between the mixer and the bottom of the tank should not be less than 1200 mm and not more than 1500 mm.
Modern builders and plumbers, especially in private households, do not comply with SNiPs, and the installation height of the bath faucet depends on the personal preferences of the consumer. At the same time, specialists adhere to the installation rules specified in the instructions for the device.
