I always find your videos extremely clear and very helpful. I’m a woman who is finding getting old quite challenging and your videos have really helped me in a lot of different situations. Thank you very much.😊
After a couple months in the Middle East, I came to love bidets. Your video gave me the confidence to try this myself (68 yo woman)! To stop leaks, I did have to use a wrench to tighten a couple of the connections, probably because I don't have enough hand strength and I was working in a tight space. The cone-shaped washer in the T-valve was not installed, and I had to ask my husband which way it should be inserted.
You can use plumber tape/teflon tape instead of the washer included to avoid leaks. It's super cheap and super reliable. Can be used in metal or plastic pipes as well. Just remember to apply the tape clockwise or the same direction when you close pipes/valves/etc. Just in case it's not clockwise.
What a great idea. I just purchased this item and it should work wonders after my hip surgery. A little cold water in the morning will sure help me wake up. Thanks for the video.
It’s either bots or someone accidentally clicked the button. Don’t let it get to you. It’s just a number. This video is really helpful and the dislikes won’t prevent the video from reaching anyone who needs it.
Thank you! That’s very helpful. I recently moved out for college & my mom was so proud that I did it myself haha! Wouldn’t have done without this informative video tho!
Omg...never thought it is that simple to install a bidet. Have been wanting to have have it for ages!! But worry about the plumber cost! 😂 thank you xx
It is just so clean. I have been using it ever since I was born here in India. Went to UK for my masters,It was just so much discomforting and gross experience to clean my butt with Toilet Paper. Paper can't do the job of Water 100% clean with no bad smell. There are some houses where the water pressure is low please make a video how to fix low pressure water in your bathroom.
Just installed mine then came online to see how others did. I have to say your channel's content is so valuable for home care. I wish I knew about it years ago when caring for my parents. Subscribing for sure.
Very good! Sometimes it’s good to use plumbing tape around the threads otherwise, you explained it well. Like the fact more women are doing a lot of diy projects as it’s a great way of saving money.
For those of us who get used to this method, travel bidets are now available. Turn off the water, drain the tank, undo the bottom of the tank. Great video.
I am from Portugal. growing up we always had a full bidet in all the bathrooms. When I arrived in the states, I kept looking for where Americans hid their bidets. I was crushed when I realized there weren't any. How do you live without it? The full bidets in Portugal are super practical and they have hot and cold water, and you can even buy special "intimate" soap washes and intimate steam products. The bum gun is certainly better than nothing, but it's a bit of a shock every time, especially in the winter, because the water is so cold. But hurray for the bum gun. Good video explanation. TY
Good job! My ex-father in law is so stingy that he would open the water valve to fill the toilet just enough that the water would not be registered by the water meter. It would take ages to refill the cistern... but it was "free" water!
I have the same question as the water hose does not attach to the bottom of my toilet tank, it goes all the way up and inside. Did you figure that out?
Why connect the T-valve on the toilet end? It's more convenient & efficient to connect it on the other side where your valve is. Just need to completely turn off the water supply from that pipe... Other than that, well done🎉
Damn, I really wanted this in my new studio, but the building is very old. The toilet does have the vavle, but no removable waterline, is made out of idk steel or whatever LOL.
Check the Kit your buying most should say the length of the hose, if it's not long enough, you can easily take the included T-Valve & sprayer to any hardware store & get a shorter or longer hose as needed.
Be sure you wrapped plumbers tape which most kits include 2x around each thread, use a Plumbers wrench is the best type to lightly re-tighten every connection, turn it off at the level on the T-Valve after every use, turn down the water pressure either at the wall. If it's still leaking, start all over again, disconnect it all & make sure all rubber washers are good & not cracked or broken, if you do this, I would take 1 washer to your local Hardware store & get new ones as most times those are better, if you need more Plumbers tape by that also. Many times especially if you bought a cheap Bidet and sometime even expensive ones the threads or the spray or included hose may not be great, you can always remove the hose & take it & the sprayer with you to your local hardware store or at Lowes or Home depot, & buy a new hose & better sprayer, they are not that expensive, then redo the entire setup again. Now if it's still leaking you have 2 choices, 1. give up on it & Return everything for your money back or you may need a plumber to do it as you may have old leaky connections to begin with somewhere in the toilet setup.
I followed the your steps but there is a leak there. Water is slowly dripping from around t valve area and I don’t know why. Can you please suggest what I might be missing? Ps- I have put the tape around the threads as well as there are black rubber stoppers where they need to be. I think (not sure) the water might be dripping from the place where the main water supply attaches to the t valve. Earlier I wasn’t the rubber stopper here but I have it there as well. After this step the rate of dripping as reduced a lot but still exists. Any suggestions would be great!

I'm getting a small leak where the t valve is connected to the toilet. I've used the plumber tape and re did everything but still leaking. Any suggestions?

Mines leaked and the valve broke bought a better valve and now the shower pipe leaks new pipe to pick up 2moro maybe I over tightened it but it kept leaking
My t valve doesn’t tighten like yours did. The top vale to the tank is tight but the bottom portion swirls around easily. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?

Go to your Local Hardware mom and pop store, lowes or home depot, take your parts that won't fit with you, find a worker there with knowledge of Plumbing, just ask and tell them your issue, they sell all of these parts separately.
