If you are interested in the simplest and cheapest option to get a bidet function in a combined bathroom or toilet, then it is buying and installing a bidet.
What's this?
This is the so-called nozzle, mounted on a toilet seat. It looks like a bar that has holes that coincide with the fastenings of ordinary toilet covers. Also this bar has nozzles, a retractable nozzle and a control panel.
When the button is pressed or the tap is turned, the spray gun is pulled out under the water pressure, and when the water supply is turned off, the injector again hides. In most of the consoles, water is provided at that temperature and at the pressure that the user chooses.
There is another kind of bidet-attachment for the toilet, where it is a hygienic shower and a mixer on a metal bar with a hose for connection to communications. Plank is attached to the holes in any toilet bowl. On the side of the toilet, a mixer with a shower is placed on the bar.

- Most of the consoles presented in the stores are suitable for standard mounts, so they can be installed on any toilet model.

- In many cases, the device supplies warm water, as it is equipped with a mixer to help change the temperature of the water.

Tips for choosing
- When buying a bidet, evaluate the quality of the product and its cost. If you have a very cheap model, there is a high probability that it will not serve for long. At high quality prefixes the bar is equipped with a reinforcing plate made of stainless steel.
- At the same time, a very high price is not always an indication that you have chosen the most high-quality and reliable model. If the selected bidet is very expensive, most likely, its design is suitable for non-standard toilet bowls.
- Take an interest in the availability of quality certificates, as well as the terms of warranty service, so that in the event of a marriage or a breakdown, you can ask for technical assistance.
- For greater comfort of use, it is recommended to buy a bidet model, in which hot water is supplied. Washing with cold water, even with short-term action, can be harmful to children's or women's health.
Installing
If you compare with all other devices that have a bidet function, the prefix is easier to install. First, after making sure that the water supply is blocked, you must remove the seat from the toilet seat, and then fix the bidet on it, checking the instruction. Then the lid is put in place and bolted.
To draw water to the console, you need to install a tee that allows you to bring pipes from the mixer with cold( sometimes only with it) and hot water. After confirming that all hoses are fastened with nuts, you need to open the valves, start the water and check whether the bidet is working properly, and whether there are leaks.
