If the bathroom is roomy enough, sometimes the installation of the washing machine it is necessary to refuse.Able to bail out a compromise - the combination in one place the sink and washing machine.

Having decided to install a washing machine under the kitchen sink, you can save space, so this embodiment is often interested owners of small bathrooms.So you will be able to solve the problem of installing equipment in a room with limited free space.

problem with the placement of the washing machine is relevant for small apartments where the kitchen or the bathroom is small. installing the machine in the bathroom, you can block the passage to the kitchen to find a place for this technology, too complicated, if the dimensions of the kitchen is also small, and the installation in the hallway is not always possible.And a good yield can become a setting machine under the washbasin - both in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

So you can actually save a place, and a more rational use the area under the washbasin.

disadvantage of this placement will need to purchase a special shell ( "water lilies") and the special siphon.In addition, it increases the likelihood of blockage due to the nature runoff.

«lilies» model called shell, which is hidden from the eye and is very compact pedestal. Like the flower of the same name over the water, such shell is able to be located above the surface, in this case - on the washing machine.

main feature rakoviny- "water lilies" - its location.Since it presented hanging model, it does not provide the load onto the underlying technique.Choosing this combination, you will increase the useful area of ​​the room, as in the case of a conventional installation shell space under it is often not used to the maximum benefit.Rakovina- "lily" can also be used as an additional sink.Plus "water lily" is also its varied kind of decorating any bathroom.

• discomfort mark and those who used to come close to the sink for hygiene procedures.While many agree that it's all about habit and eventually sink to the location of the machine can be adapted.

First, measure the dimensions of the washing machine, and if the drain pipe is located behind the machine, add to the depth of technologydistance that takes a pipe.These dimensions are the basis for the selection of the shell. Recall that the product should protrude above the washing machine from all sides. Front projection is more convenient to do more than 20 cm, then you will be more comfortable to wash.By the way, in stores now offer kits in which "water lily" is already matched to the washing machine.

«Water Lilies" is often made of plastic or ceramic. One of the novelties is the marble "lily" - a sink, resulting vibratory casting of polymer. The finished product has a different color and configuration, so it's easy gets to the interior.Such "marble sinks" lighter than comparable sinks made of marble (artificial and natural), and their price is comparable to the cost of high quality earthenware products.At the same time casting marble indicators of resistance to chemicals and much higher strength.

to use "water lily" was comfortable, washing machine must have a height of 70 centimeters. Then wash your hands will be more convenient.Besides height less than 70 cm, such a machine must have a minimum depth and width parameters.That's because the technology requires completely hidden under the sink.

To install the first try on the thicket and mark locations of fasteners. Then drill holes, set the bracket and tighten the screws, while leaving a gap of about 5 mm.Aligning the bowl, set washbasin on brackets, and insert the metal hook into the hole, which is in the rear of the shell (it is necessary to fix the bowl to the wall).

used to secure the anchor hook or screw.Further, all the bolts in the brackets need to tighten completely.Behind the sink treat sealant based on silicone.

installing a washbasin on appliances, it is important to avoid direct contact of the water and electrical wires.That's because the shell is sized slightly longer and wider than the machine.It is advisable to push forward the bowl for at least 5 centimeters.Drain pipes must not be above the washing machine as a result of vibration, they can become loose machine.

installation siphon is conducted before final lock "water lily" on the wall.Gofra connected directly to the sewer pipe.At this stage it is important to check for leaks. If detected leakage, check the gasket and tighten the connections.

Most "lily pads" for the installation of the mixer provided with an opening.When connecting to the hose faucet and fittings, use a gasket to seal a connection, use the fum-tape. After a test run can be noted, is not whether to further tighten any connections.
