ABSTRACT:
A colon cleansing apparatus and method for use thereof for introduction of water into a person's colon to flush out fecal matter. The apparatus is used with a standard colon irrigation unit having a board on which a user sits and a splash shield which holds a disposable tip for introducing water into a user's rectum and which directs water expelled from the rectum through an opening through the board into a toilet. The apparatus replaces the toilet by supporting the irrigation unit on an elevated table top above a drain basin having a drain opening leading to the sewage pipes. Water from elevated warm and cold water tanks flows through tubes into a main tube attached to the tip with a valve midway along each of the pair to blend the water entering the main tube to a desired temperature. A spray of water directed at the drain opening prevents sewage pipe clogs by breaking up expelled fecal matter. A spray washing system self-cleaning the drain basin during use. A flushing system sends a large volume of water into the drain basin to flush remaining fecal matter from the drain basin and a fan exhausts lingering odors into the sewage pipe. A hand sprayer allows cleaning of the user and the apparatus and an ozone generator provides ozone to add to the water and to a water-filled sterilization chamber to disinfect the main tube following use.
