  • the auxiliary flushing unit comprises a channel disposed on the side wall of the housing and more than one headpiece that opens into the housing inside the channel. The headpieces enable the water to be equally distributed and to move in the desired direction.
  • one edge of the channel is open and a lid that covers the channel is provided.
  • headpieces that are arranged consecutively along the channel are provided.
  • the headpieces are configured so as to narrow towards the inside of the housing.
  • the cross-sections of the headpieces are rectangular and the bases thereof remain stationary and the edge heights decrease towards the inside of the housing.
  • the headpieces have a right trapezoid shape when viewed sideways.
  • a barrier is disposed at the inlet of the lid forming the auxiliary flushing unit.
  • the auxiliary flushing unit disposed on the side wall of the housing is configured to be suitable to the curved structure of the base of the housing.
  • directing the water becomes easier and the effectiveness of the process of flushing with water is increased.
  • the auxiliary flushing unit extends all along on the side wall of the housing.
  • a much wider area is washed with water without leaving any blind spots and the cleaning agents are prevented from accumulating and forming an unfavorable sight by drying inside the housing.
  • the auxiliary flushing unit is fed via the water conduit that feeds the main flushing unit.
  • a process of double-sided flushing with water is performed and the cleaning agents are mixed into the wash water without being wasted and leaving any residues inside the housing.
  • auxiliary flushing unit used in the washer of the present invention, the cleaning agents are effectively mixed into the wash water and cleaning agent accumulation inside the housing is prevented.
  • the auxiliary flushing unit that sprays water to the points whereto the main flushing unit cannot deliver water does not leave any blind spot and effective hygiene is provided by preventing the user from encountering any cleaning agent residues in the housing when he/she dislodges the dispenser.
  • the speed of the water is increased and the base of the housing is enabled to be effectively washed.
