Bidet Toilets

An automatic showertoilet combines the functions of loo and bidet in one unit, enabling many disabled people to use the toilet unaided.

There are purpose-built units, and various add-on "bidet toilet seats" which can be fitted to an existing toilet.

Purpose-built showertoilets

The Clos-o-Mat (the new Palma is shown left) was invented more than 40 years ago and is made in the UK and marketed by Total Hygiene.

The Geberit AquaClean (shown right) is the alternative.

Both have been designed to offer independence and privacy for disabled users.

A range of remote control options is available, to make them even more adaptable, as well as specialised accessories such as padded seats, height raising plinths and octopus support arms.

Add-on bidet toilet seats

As well as purpose-built showertoilets, there are also conversion units available, that add a bidet function to an existing standard toilet. These retro-fit solutions are a more economical option, and range from basic to very luxurious.

PDS Hygiene's Bio Bidet (right) provides a complete wash and dry cycle with full control of positioning, temperature and duration - all via the simple and hygienic remote control pad. As it holds WRAS approval, it can be connected directly to the water supply in the UK without the need for extra measures to protect against contamination of the supply.

Ascot Hygiene's new KS1500R, shown left, includes a heated seat as well as water that is heated instantaneously as required, rather than in an on-board reservoir, so that the user can decide the length of the wash (up to two minutes at a time) rather than being restricted to the amount of warm water contained in the reservoir.
