Spoiler Alert for DIYers, the "release button" location, so necessary at 1:30 into the video, is documented in the Instruction Manual. It is on the right side (facing the toilet) near the exhaust fan.
Yes, it was really frustrating that the video didn't mention the release button. I installed this thing years ago and no longer had the manual and couldn't remember how to get the seat back off. Such an essential piece of information.
Excellent, works great, engineered well. Water temp has 3 warmth adjustments, as does spray intensity. Self cleaning and conserves power automatically. Should have purchased years ago.
Love our bidets! Great for folks with mobility issues or in caregiver situations. 10 years from now they will be commonplace. The tide is turning with American consumers deciding that water, warm water and seats at that, really is easier and cleaner than paper alone. And water washing is better for the sewer and septic systems, due to less TP and wipes being flushed.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and because my house had a washlet I used less than 10 rolls of toilet paper the entire time! After my parents visited even they bought one. Now that I'm back stateside I finally have my own too. More people need to know about these!
Love the background music of the video. It felt like I was watching a fairytale and a toilet seat installation all at once. Seriously, though. Great video.
TOTO headquarters: "Damn it! It's the holidays and we have to find someone to narrate this TOTO ass wash asap! Peter, get me the headhunter on the double." Peter:" Sorry boss, the only narrator they have is one that works for Disney. But they'll throw in a music theme for free and also include their hairiest helper" TOTO headquarters: "Fine, just do it quick and they better say some corny junk" Peter:"Sure boss, as it happens they already gave me the video markers for those comments: "There, you've got it at 1:24" and "Fantastic at 2:44" TOTO headquarters: "Peter, you've got us out of a fix! You deserve our finest ass wash free of charge. Well done!" Peter:"Golly! Gee whiz! Thank you boss!
Mine charged $185. He ran a line down from the light switch and then knocked into the sheetrock to run a wire to near the toilet. We are having our water closet repainted anyway so the hole didn't matter.
I have an S300e. My only complaint? The bowl LED does not come on when the seat is raised for use for men while standing. It only comes on when it's cleaning the bowl.
My husband and I just spent a good hour or so trying to slide this witch onto the bracket - and it absolutely, positively WILL NOT GO IN!!!!! We took the bracket off, we adjusted it so it was 1.125" or so from the opening. No click. No nothing. It seems like for the price, we could get a whole toilet with the bidet seat included - just not a Toto.
Installation was easy peasy, except is the seat supposed to be slightly "loose" in the bracket? it's clicked in and won't pull off without pushing the release button, but when it's in it's loose....
This video leaves out a very important element. To remove the seat to adjust it, you have to find the square button on the "left butt cheek" side of the seat assembly. It's the release button.
the installation was a pain in the ass, me and my gf even got into a BIG fight because of this. The water just keep leaking from the pipe. If yours is leaking water too, then you'll need to buy a new toilet water tank pump.
Have the same problem. This is an outrage. Wasting a lot of time. Tried to put different washers in but no luck. I wonder if they tested the connection. The manual show the supplied connector upside down but it won't fit in the US made tank valve.
How do I do this? I bought some cone washers, but if I use it to connect the junction T to the fill valve, the washer covers the treads so it doesn't screw on. Or am I misunderstanding how to use them?
2:40 no! You must tighten the white sleeve all the way, to avoid leaking or spraying. The o-ring will pop out when the water pressure rises, which could be when your tank fills or could be in the middle of the night when water pressure is higher. Please avoid my mishap (and midnight panic) photos.app.goo.gl/6rN5aCu3rMFiofpd6
Depending on the toilet, save yourself the trouble and instead insert it from below. You can just bunch up the rubber to put the top end through the hole. I had to do this on an American Standard toilet because the hole is ever so slightly too small for the fitting, but it works just fine the other way. Should be in the instructions.
Never! A real man never gives up!!! even when it's hopeless. I got it working, right after, it was a bad washer, it had a crack in it, or something. When I wrenched it down, it opened up. It was so simple it was stupid.
The NEW Toto toilets have an extra hole for the works to go through. Which, of course, does not work with all other toilets. This is OLD stuff! I have other complaints - the Toto costs roughly 3 times more than the American made devices. I have one and it's more comfortable (padded vinyl seat cover, not the rock hard white plastic). The other thing I don't like is that you can't SIT ON THIS THING ! It flexes and threatens to crack.
I am trying to install a C100 tonight. It would not click using the suggested 1-1/8" measurement and I had to slip the bolts back 3 nothces and it clicked in place. Good luck. My seat is installed but the junction leaks so badly that I had to unhook it and am using it as a plain toilet seat now :(
Hey in case you were still wondering there is actually a small button that you can press that will allow you to adjust the seat freely. Spent about an hour trying to figure it out though.
So, @ $250-550 for the Toto, plus another $500-700 for the new electric outlet, that's $700-1200 to replace a $10 toilet seat plus a washcloth. What a bargain.
They forgot to add the part where I go to Home Deport 5 times to get it to work properly. I wish things worked this easily when I did it. Most people probably wont have this issue, though.
