Abstract
An irrigation system for human body such as anus and private part. The system comprises a heated water containing tank, a pair of heated water ejection units of an injection nozzle type for scouring or irrigating of anus and private part of female, and a heated air drying apparatus for drying anus and private part. A first temperature sensor is disposed in the tank for controlling intermittently a control circuit associated with a water heating unit in the tank so as to stabilize the temperature of the heated water in the tank. A second temperature sensor is disposed in the tank for deenergizing the water heating unit in the event the temperature in the tank rises up to a predetermined higher level. A pump motor unit and a water passage for mixing and agitating the tank water to avoid non-uniform temperature distribution are associated with the tank. The system further comprises a means for maintaining water level in the tank constant when an irrigation operation does not take place and a means for preventing supply of water into the tank during an irrigation operation to prevent abrupt change of temperature of water in the tank and ejecting from one of the ejection units.
