Speaking of plumbing, created for medical purposes, the first thing that comes to mind is a sitz bath. As the name suggests, the water procedure in such a bath is carried out in a sitting position. This contributes not only to good relaxation, but also has a positive effect on health in the case of certain diseases.
Seat baths are very popular among people with limited free space in the bathroom. If we touch on the shortcomings of such plumbing, then in the first place we can note its impracticality. You can take a shower or an ordinary bath in any position convenient for a person. In the case of a sedentary bath, the position of the body is always unchanged. That is why such plumbing is most often installed as additional.
Sitting baths are most often presented in three sizes: 100x70, 150x70, 120x110 cm. Modern models can be equipped with such additional options as a hydromassage and a door.
Seated bathtubs presented to the consumer are most often made of cast iron, steel or acrylic. Cast iron products are gradually losing their relevance. To a greater extent this is due to the large weight. In addition, a cast-iron bathtub needs regular maintenance of its coating.
The sedentary bathtub made of steel is lightweight, which greatly simplifies the transportation process. But it is not capable of holding temperature for a long time, to the best of its high level of thermal conductivity. Inadequate attention to the surface condition often leads to the formation of rust, which is often able to completely disable plumbing.
An acrylic bath is the best option, but its high technology will require significant financial costs for the purchase.
A sitz bath will not be the best solution for a large family. Its limited size is quite specific and not everyone will like it. If we consider this option from the point of view of saving water consumption, then it is worthwhile to make a thorough calculation. Often, a model of a sitting bath is much more expensive than a simple one, which reduces all kinds of savings to nothing.
If the bathroom has a very small area, but the desire to have a bath is irresistible, then of course you can think about installing a sedentary model. When making your choice, it is important to consider that sitz baths do not have a large selection of sizes and materials from which they are made.
