Thank you so much! I do better with videos than the written instructions. Luckily I had more room to work with than you did. Your video was perfect! My friends have had a smart bidet for 6 or 7 years and it still works great. I love theirs so finally got my own. :)
Thanks for your informative video. I started with the instructions, but needed more detail. Got just what I needed following your video. I’m a girl, so I read the directions first 😊 I didn't set the clock but it took about an hour. Glad I got the extension cord 👍 Happy!!
I’m doing a replacement, I have a COCO that’s old and physically broken so I need to replace it. It’s good to know you can attach the T connector down there because that’s where mine is, it looks to me like all I’m going to have to do is hook up the water supply to the bidet .
Thanks for the comment and good luck. I've been meaning to install a new bidet and because of an unrelated reason I'm going to have to change the inlet water line. I originally thought oh man I'm going to have to get a plumber but it's a very easy change.
Hope you are well. Still all good. Actually moved and brought them with me and re-installed them. I've bought a different brand one and although great as well just not as good as this one
That is a good question. I did not have to drain it. Just turned off the water and flushed to lower the water level in the tank. If you take the toilet tank cover off to look at the workings (pump and drain/plunger). Flush the toilet and see where the water is being filled from . Chances are that the water is coming near the top of the tank so all you have to do is shut off the water and flush the toilet and the water level will be below where the water is coming in from. Let me know if that helps
Since it's in your bathroom. It hould be a GFCI plug (preferably grounded but older houses may not have a ground wire). The unit will also advise in the instructions. I am plugged into an ungrounded GFCI.
We had to run a extension cord behind the sink for one bathroom. I since moved and have this issue now . The plan is to put an outlet in using the nearby light switch close toilet for 120V. We shall see how that goes.
Thanks for the video words of advice. Use a proper wrench not a “clamp” (standard slip joint pliers in the video) Biggest helpful hint is after you turn off the water valve flush the toilet to drain a lot of the water. You were worried about gloves for the water line but not the bacteria filled hardware securing the original seat.
Why would you change out the fitting at the source? Why not take supply line off at the toilet and install the T fitting? (After turning off water of course.) Forget that question Faulty Thinking.
After doing a couple of these, the best way if you are comfortable is to swap the inlet connector on the copper line with one that has both connectors. That will give you the cleanest install but takes slightly more skill and cost ($20 fitting). All the bidets I've installed since all come with the little t-adapter and they have worked fine. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the mini review... This seems to have all of the features that the Brondell and Biobidet units have at more than 50% less cost. How's it holding up?
Thanks for watching. It has held up really well actually. The toilet actually had to be replaced so I took the unit apart about a week ago and reinstalled it on a new toilet. No problems still. The heated seats in the winter is probably my favorite feature. We do not purchase as much toilet paper as we used to so if it lasts about 2 years it should start saving us money.
Water lines with compression fittings don't need teflon tape. And in some pvc fittings will make it leak. Just a little fyi for you're diy. Use teflon tape the right way and this was not it. Watchers beware.
Appreciate the comment but they are not compression connectors. All are threaded connectors from water line to Tee's to the Bidet. Thank you though for the general advice for compression connectors .
Bidets obviously use electricity. How much are you actually saving per year by having this device? I've never used a bidet nor have ever seen one in person. I would think just using the dryer mode would run up the electric bill especially with more than one person in the household.
It's a decision everyone has to make. If you have solar and battery backup it's not an issue. If you don't ...monitor the change in billing . I would say at the moment I'm sitting happy that I have it and don't need tp for the current emergency
It’s not always about money. I am having a knee replacement soon. This unit will provide care I can’t do for myself…… am trying to have to avoid asking for help 😊

i m wodering is any problem with warm water for washing? Or is it cold?

Bought a replacement remote for this -- but can't seem to pair it. Anyone know how?
Thanks for the video! Do you have any updates?
Hope you are well. Still all good. Actually moved and brought them with me and re-installed them. I've bought a different brand one and although great as well just not as good as this one
GrandTourDuo thanks appreciate the response. Hope you are well too!
Does the toilet tank need to be drained of water when installing the hose to it?
That is a good question. I did not have to drain it. Just turned off the water and flushed to lower the water level in the tank. If you take the toilet tank cover off to look at the workings (pump and drain/plunger). Flush the toilet and see where the water is being filled from .

@@faultythinking6443 sounds accurate thanks👍
should use a crescent wrench
Awesome Video. I Liked and subscribed.
what's the electrical wire/plug do you recommend please
Since it's in your bathroom. It hould be a GFCI plug (preferably grounded but older houses may not have a ground wire). The unit will also advise in the instructions. I am plugged into an ungrounded GFCI.
How long does a hot water last? Does it run out if you keep running it?
Thank you for posting this. 2022 everything is metal.
Does it require an electrical outlet for heating the water?
Yes it does . GFCI outlet . The heated seat and water are a nice feature. Especially this winter they are my favorite feature
We had to run a extension cord behind the sink for one bathroom. I since moved and have this issue now . The plan is to put an outlet in using the nearby light switch close toilet for 120V. We shall see how that goes.
how do you plug it in to get the dryer to work?
Has a standard wall plug like any other device. No special connection needed.
Glad I ordered the recommended extension cord. Needed an extra 2 feet 😊
yeah idk if i have a new model or what but yeah my sb 1000 doesnt have those screws that you put on that sliding shit
Thanks for the video

Thx for the tutorial. We'll give it a go.

Great tutorial! Doesn't look like I need to hire an electrician, WOOO HOOO!
Plumber. You would hire a plumber not sn electrician
@@ruthven78 k The plumber I hired was also an electrician.
Right?! I'm so excited I dont need to hire a landscaper! 🙌

@@faultythinking6443 This from a guy who calls a pair of pliers, a clamp.
@@lordmerren9094 Technically they do clamp.
@@lordmerren9094 yah no time to reshoot it or dub it . The toll pictured. At least it wasn't a hammer .
@@faultythinking6443 homie a supply line to a toilet has a little o-ring in it, it's a compression connection. Don't tape those, you'll get leaks.
You forgot to do the review. Just installation instructions.
I saw a leak, but I could be wrong
The t fitting attaches to the toliet you literally are doing what they tell you not to in the instructions if you actually followed them...
Awesome

Don’t think I would want one that plugs in. Power and water don’t mix and that would be a bad way to go! Lol
ignorant
Leak at 9:31
Thumbs up from me.?
