Found this Limited time deal
I had one already for some time and bought second set .
These are nice and easy to install.
CamelCamelCamel.
I was bringing the sarcasm to the post.
*satire
Come here to comment cold water in winter won't be pleasing, but learned about backflow prevention and reduced pressure zone, thanks.
Interested to try this, but cannot find the tap, turns out it's inside the cistern.
Also need to take note of recycled rain water.
In the same situation. Tap inside the cistern and haven't found a way around it
There should be access holes at the bottom of the cistern, one on the left and one on the right, you can route the hose through one of the holes.
If you have rimless toilet, it would also have access holes on both sides, the hose can come out to connect to the bidet.
A bit more involved, but a cleaner install. Perhaps go to Bunnings to checkout the displays to see how it works.
I have this issue too (cistern inlet is inside the cistern at the top), it has a left and right hole to get a pipe out but the hole is too small for a flexible hose but to fit through…my only idea was to try and delicately enlarge the hole using a diamond bit and angle grinder to grind the inside away slowly…but the guy at bunnings said it likely will crack the cistern. Or get a smaller stainless steel or copper pipe and bend/get it out, but not much room to work with inside the cistern. Any ideas?
@dammit: Ah good point, the hose has fittings, so it won't be able to pass through the hole at the bottom of the cistern.
Those holes are meant for bottom entry floats like this.
A bottom entry connector like this may work: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302910940882
Don't modify the cistern.
Sorry, mine has the same inlet at the bottom on both sides of the water reservoir thing. If I try to fit the hoses through that, won’t there be leakages?
How far is the sink and is the taps under the sink accessible? I had the same issue and got a longer hose to connect to the sink instead.
That's thinking outside the box.
You don't really notice the cold water, it's like a numbing effect, you get use to it
Amazon's "Frequently Bought Together" suggestion is a screwdriver and Kellogg's Sultana Bran. 🥴
Sultana Bran makes sense. Helps with bowel movements.
I thought you were joking, but I get the same recommendations. :D
LOL, same here!
Pawpaw 'cos you pour, pour the milk on
Q: What did the carpenter do when he had constipation?
A: Ate Sultana Bran and worked the rest out with his Amazon screwdriver.
Q. Did you hear about the constipated maths teacher ?
A. He worked it out with a pencil.
A. Oh, I heard that he used logs.
Anyone knows if the T-Splitter can be installed at the wall outlet, instead of at the toilet cistern? I just checked our toilet, and the hose to the toilet cistern is very hard to access
That’s what I did.
Wall outlet > Backflow preventor > T splitter
Awesome. Apart from the backflow preventer that needs to be purchased separately from Bunnings, the T-Splitter that comes with this bidet pack will fit onto the Bunnings' backflow preventer listed by JSONBourne?
Assuming your house fittings are standard, yes.
The backflow preventer you’re buying should be 15mm female to 15mm male.
Also if your toilet’s ancient like mine and still uses solid copper hose (wall to cistern), it’s definitely worthwhile to pick up a flexi hose to replace that.
@zonra: @zonra https://www.9news.com.au/national/flexihose-homeowners-warne… I would always be using solid pipe instead of flexihose if at all possible….
@dammit: I agree re longetivity and safety.
However my old pipe simply wouldn’t fit due to new angling (backflow and T splitter added length to the wall side), and I have neither the skill or tool to rebend the pipe.
So it was between flexi or getting a plumber out.
how do I go about installing a Bidet like this on a toilet like above - the toilet has the water inlet on the opposit side and there is no space behind the toilet for the hose to pass through??
There's an access hole in your photo (silver plug), the opposite side has the same hole where the inlet hose goes in.
The hole may be large enough to feed 2 hoses, so the bidet hose can come out from this side.
I have similar toilet and wondering the same. Also please let me know if bidet fits well in the holes for you and you can cover the holes with the provided round covers?
Hi Honey I bought you something from Big Cow.. it's for your arse
Yeah nah on this one. Would prefer the one with the cleaning function, where it sprays water over the nozzle.
One insists on only having body temperature water used to clean one’s nether regions. Besides one wouldn’t want to out one’s groom of the stool out of work.
Noob question - If you just use the toilet, how is water prevented to backflow from there?
Air gap. Due to the design even if the toilet blocks it's impossible for you to contaminate the water supply.
Incidentally, there are certain bidet models which have these integrated, they can be legally installed (in some states with approval) without a rzpd and yearly maintenance. Expensive upfront costs though.
Fwiw, diy irrigation systems are also high risk but there's no similar requirements.
Any idea how much it would cost to hire a plumber to install a bidet?
Somewhere between $1000 and $100,000.
It is a very basic installation. Just do it yourself unless you are physically impaired and you don’t like asking for favours.
Then yeah a plumber shouldn’t charge more than the callout fee as it won’t take more than 10 minutes.
Surely it can't be in the thousands, unless modification is required.
For straight up install, say 1 hour, plus call out. Probably in the region of $200 to $300.
Seriously though, if you are going to pay for professional install, get a better bidet.
Depends if you get an honest plumber.
Do these do a good J0B? Are they all they are cracked-up to be?
This one is basic and non heated, so trial it out by using a bowl or jug of water from the bathroom cold water faucet if you like. If you can bear the cold water on your nether region then this should work. Otherwise get a decent heated one (requires power outlet) with a heated seat. Costco and Bunnings sells heated seat with a remote. I got heated and non heated. they do a good job.
I have installed a similar one at home, which I got from Bunnings. Can't vouch for it enough. https://www.bunnings.com.au/evekare-water-powered-bidet-toil…
In fact, it is so good that I got a portable one on the go. If you have never tried a bidet, I highly recommend trying them out. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/385156400193
What's a comparable DIY thing that many other people do that carries a similar level of risk as this?
what risk?
connecting a washing machine or dishwasher, provided your cistern tap is external :)
How are you all using this without heating. Tried at a clients house and it wasn't pleasant
I agree… Once you use a heated seat/water you can never go back :P
Washing crap off you is better than just wiping it. :)
I just installed one of these from bunnings and I'm happy: https://www.bunnings.com.au/evekare-white-bidet-spray_p01442…
Feedback on bunnings site is quite bad
I reckon they don't install it properly. I've installed 3 and they're all working fine. You just need to use plenty of thread tape.
No power supply ? cold water spary? no thanks
Anything is better than wiping. Happy to use lava instead of wiping.
Finally Australians learning that you can't just use TP to get it all clean
If you're looking for something that heats the water, this one from bunnings is $260, cheapest I've found locally that at least has heated water… note that you need powerpoint though, but it does work in cold-mode without a powerpoint if you are going to do it later… https://www.bunnings.com.au/evekare-classic-smart-bidet-toil…
Seat does not heat though.
it has changed my life … what a beautiful life i have now after purchasing this item.
Fakespot seems to claim the reviews may not be accurate.
https://www.fakespot.com/product/bigcow-ultra-slim-bidet-non…
There are a few if most at this price. eg

Curious how these work if the poop can potentially be projectile upwards with the water streams :/
Wondering if a handheld version is more manageable and gives better control.
is the water source for the toilet clean enough to use for washing my butthole? I heard from a friend that it could come from stormwater? is that ok?
i live in Stanhope Gardens NSW if that helps anyone answer my question.
Edit: Found the answer on the previous comments. Cancelling my order.
not a bad price, purchased one to give a try as we are specifying a new house at the moment so need to decide if we want fancy elec ones or if this would be enough.
I thought it comes with toilet seat and lid also 😕
Just installed mine (with the backflow adapter from bunnys) and used it. I had to look up some photos as I put it together a bit wrong initially. Flush as now.
Anyway, my ass has not felt this clean after a shit (without showering) since I was last in Japan. The water not being heated was not an issue at all for me.
One thing I don't get with the backflow adapter, I don't see how you can install it just for the hose. I had to put it on before the T adapter. I don't suppose that really matters though.
Put mine in the same spot mate, guess you would need 2 seperate adapters to put it between the bidet and T adapter.
Is it possible to post some pics of it connected to the cistern?
Yes thanks 😁
Got this installed. Do you guys use the provided bumpers? My seat looks ok without the bumpers
I didn’t. I think the instruction didn’t even mention where to use them after the parts call.
Yes with these you definitely need a black flow preventer & watermark certified otherwise you end up paying fortune.I am aware of a friend paying 600 for an emergency call out.
