Hey everyone! I just moved into a new place and want to put a bidet attachment on the toilet. I've installed a few in the past, but the toilets have never had a water line like this. Is it possible to install a bidet attachment here? Side note, how the hell do I turn off the water supply if the toilet were to start filling and not stop? Thank you!
I am installing a Toto Neorest in a new home. Have yet to mount the remote.
Looking for optimum location.
Possibly a few inches above toilet paper roll holder?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I think I've narrowed it down to:
-Bio bidet slim zero (or likely home Depot's version that's supposedly a little better build quality)
-brondell s101 (maybe Costco's version? Mixed reviews on that one)
-kohler m300 (I don't have a Kohler toilet, I'm just going off decent reviews/brand reputation)
Thoughts?
After first use I noticed that my fears for this contraption are in fact valid. Water all over the floor.
The gap between the seat and the toilet (maybe 1/4" or 6mm) leaves enough room for water to escape quite easily.
On the plus side, it worked very well, but I did not lower my TP use because I couldn't drop dry, and I had to use a ton to clean up the water on my floor, then had to use paper towels and bleach to really clean the toilet and floors.
What is the solution here? For reference, I am a guy so I'm shooting from the front towards the rear (around the fellas obvi)
I feel (literally) like my aim was good?
Appreciate your helpful input/advice.
I am on my fourth bidet, two cheap plastic ones broke, and the metal one I bought leaked from the T valve. My plumber friend told me it was likely due to crappy rubber washers. So I bought a bag of food-grade silicone washers from the hardware store and swapped them out. No leaks! I found a cool trick, too - wrap the plumbers tape in opposite direction on the threads. I also 3D printed a small wedge to angle the spray forward. Ordering a replacement knob assembly from Alibaba (genuine part) for my current one. My frustration is why don’t manufacturers put a filter screen? I’ve cleaned debris out of my solenoid valved twice. Has anyone added a cheap inline sediment filter before upping to the bidet connector? And what’s your trick if your garage freezes in the winter?
Costco has that for 199 this month - normally 299 like similar ones (299 on up) . Only a few reviews and they're not very helpful.
Our 5 year old Bio Bidet is failing. My husband likes the basic cold water unit in the spare bathroom because the pressure is better, which I admit U understand.
So our choices are:
get a basic one (and a new toilet seat).
Get this one on sale.
Get another one (next month we might be able to afford a Toto even).
Any recommendations for heated ones with fairly good spray?
We don't care about heated or light up seats or ones that open automatically. I do care about warner water and better control via a remote, as well as a strong enough spray to do the job.
I have a heavy amount of calcium in my water and the pre-mist sprayer on my Neorest has become clogged to the point it no longer mists properly and is more of a steady stream of water going into the bowl water instead of misting and spraying the sides of the bowl. Are there replacement parts or servicing methods I can do on my own instead of paying the quoted $1200 for a service tech appointment?
We’ve been building bidets for years, but still can’t figure out how to earn trust in the US market.
Our team is mostly engineering-focused. Some of us have been working in this industry for over a decade and previously helped develop bidet products behind the scenes for larger brands.
Around 2021, we decided to start our own company because we thought we understood how to build a better product.
Over the last few years, we pushed hard on things we thought mattered:
People who actually buy and use our products tend to leave really positive feedback.
But growth has been much slower than we expected.
What we can’t figure out is:
If you were shopping for a bidet seat and saw a newer brand offering similar features, what would stop you from buying?
Is it:
Genuinely asking—we’re trying to understand what matters most to customers, not defend our product.
I tried to install the bidet I’ve done it before so I didn’t think it’d be that hard but the screw is coming out of the toilet for the water is like spinning and it’s making this like cracking noise when I try to unscrew it from the screw and the nozzle for the bidet is stuck on the other end. I don’t know how to get it off. I just moved into this place and I can’t afford a plumber and I don’t know what to do. I tried using two wrenches to like grab the other screw to keep it from spinning like unscrew the bottom wrench but because of the weird angle of the toilet is at I don’t think that’s possible or it just isn’t working or I’m just not strong enough.
UPDATE: I broke it, but then I fixed it again! I messed with it until the tank intake nozzle fell off. And then I had to get a new toilet universal fill valve but then the toilet wouldn’t stop filling but it was because I turned the thingy wrong but I fixed that and I bought a new bidet and I put that in and everything works perfectly and I did what you guys said, and I replaced the braided tube. Yay for me and my clean butt. I did it! Everyone clap ☺️
Tmi maybe, rant warning.
Whenever I use a bidet, my entire bottom half gets completely soaked. The water splashes on to my inner thighs or on my butt cheeks or on my vagina, or it runs down my cheeks or the crevice between my thighs or down my perineum and on to my vulva and vaginal opening, usually all of the above by the time I'm done spraying. So I'm completely wet down there, and it feels gross when I go to dry because my hand gets soaked too even if I use a giant wad of tp. I use so much of it to dry that I'm clogging the toilet like once a month.
I feel like I've tried everything. I've tried moving forwards, moving backwards, leaning forwards, leaning backwards, spreading my legs or closing them, moving to the left or to the right, sitting on a diagonal, turning the water pressure up or down, I've tried the feminine setting, and also adjusting the spray angle. Nothing works.
I've tried four bidets so far, they're all budget amazon ones under 100 dollars, but they all had over 4.5 stars on at least 1k reviews.
You might be thinking, bro that's a skill issue just move where the water is, I promise I've tried. I've tried positioning myself in pretty much every way imaginable. But I feel like if it rlly was a skill issue, shouldn't I have gotten better at it? I've been using a bidet every day for over a year but I'm still as soaked today as I was the first time I used one.
I got fed up and tried going back to just wiping, but for whatever reason wiping genuinely doesn't get me clean. I can sit there and wipe for like ten full minutes with tp and wet wipes (and clog the toilet and fill the entire garbage with half a pack of wipes in the process) and still need a bidet to get the rest because the tp never goes white.
Idk what to do, no one else seems to be having this issue. Maybe a handheld one? A fancy electric one? Sigh.
Ok so we ordered a Toto Nexus and they shipped it to us and it was broken. they shipped us another one and it's broken. Toto doesn't put any packing material in the box, it's ridiculous. Anyway, our contracter is beyond ready to install a toilet. We want a really good flush. Everyone recommends the Toto Drake but it's 2 pieces and I don't want extra cleaning on a toilet. So, first, why does everyone recommend a 2 piece toilet and secondly, whats the best flush from HD or Lowe's I can pick up today?
I'm thinking of converting from toilet paper to bidet but one thing that's preventing me is the idea that the water will splash feces in other places. With toilet paper you have control, and you keep wiping until the paper is white. With the bidet yes the water will clean more but can't help but think the water will splash feces elsewhere, like under the bowl or by the nozzle, or up your leg or genital area. No control!
Purchased the Brondell Swash Bidet and trying to install this in my new home. Went to disconnect the water supply hose from toilet tank (circled in red), to replace with a T-Valve but the hose won’t bend. If i need to change the hose, the valve at the bottom seems stuck (circled in blue). How can I fix it?
Please excuse the dust and crust, I am moving in. I have had this bidet for a couple years but I’m trying to install at the new place.
The issue is that there is no space for me to add the bidet lmfao. Should I get a larger/longer/different t-joint and get rid of the hose that connects the tank to the water supply? Is it a lost cause?
My spouse is hesitating to let me install a bidet seat in the downstairs hall/guest bathroom. Maybe she finds it embarrassing; maybe a US/Texas cultural thing? Both full-baths are upstairs and no problem with bidet seats there. Problem is, we all use the downstairs toilet a lot and personally, I'd love to install it there.
Do you have or have you seen bidet seats in other peoples guest bath?
Funny thought... if installed in a guest bath, should you provide "instructions" for those visiting that are unfamiliar??? LOL
I don't see a subreddit wiki, so I'm not sure where to start my research. However, I don't want to be that annoying person who asks "what bidet should I get."
What is the best way to install a hand spray bidet on such concealed toilets?
I cannot get the bidet out of the tank without drilling the tank. I think this might be risky.
I have already replaced the braided pipe, fill valve and the stop t valve. It was corroded.
