Abstract (en)

A sanitary washing apparatus (20) includes a nozzle (41), a water passage (50), a tank (80), a backflow prevention mechanism (90), a pump (30), a case (31), and a strainer (110). The water passage communicates with the nozzle and a water supply pipe (A). The tank is disposed on the water passage and provided with a heating element (71) inside thereof. The backflow prevention mechanism is disposed on the water passage and upstream of the tank. The backflow prevention mechanism includes an air gap (94a) communicating with an atmosphere, thereby preventing backflow of water. The pump is disposed downstream of the tank. The case houses the tank, the nozzle, the pump, and the backflow prevention mechanism. The strainer is detachably mounted on the tank such that attachment and/or detachment work of the strainer is conducted through an opening (34) of the case.
