- washes efficiently and carefully;

For complete comfort, the liquid can be filled using a pump from a well or swimming pool.
The advantages of this type are:
- simplified washing procedure, if previously you had to wash it yourself;
- washing occurs even at low water pressure;
- no need to connect to the central water supply;
