If you don’t have the room for a bidet, you could always opt for a handheld bidet sprayer or as some call it, a douche. These sprayers can be mounted next to your toilet and either be plumbed into the cold feed or a thermostatic mixing valve to have regulated water temperature. This could certainly, save you money on toilet paper. Call our experienced plumber today and we can look through your options.
Your options of showers all depend on your hot water system, water pressure and if needed, electricity supply. The two main types of shower are thermostatic and electric, each with their own variations. With thermostatic showers, the temperature achieved using hot and cold feeds to the valve, these can either be mains fed or gravity fed. With gravity fed thermostatic showers, a pump can be added to increase the pressure of the shower. With electric showers, like thermostatic showers, they have a minimum working pressure, if the pressure is too low they won’t work properly. Electric showers also available as pumped units, called power showers, these showers also need to be supplied via gravity fed systems. Our experienced local Portsmouth plumber can help you decide on what shower is right for your system.
The installation of a shower tray and enclosure really depends on your waste services, and where you would like the enclosure installed. Certain installations can be very costly if a lot of plumbing and building preparation is needed.
