If you've ever wanted a quality bidet attachment, with a lifetime warranty, you'll want to check out our favorite bidet attachment, the GoBidet. Today we're going to walk through installing this from start to finish.
My name is Daniel Johnson, I'm your bidet expert and I'm the owner of manybidets.com, where over the past 8 years, we've sold over 10,000 bidets.
The first step, whenever installing a bidet attachment is to take your existing toilet seat off. Pretty straightforward to do this, just loosen the nuts on the bottom side of these bolts and once those nuts are off, the seat will come off. The attachment is going to sit between your existing toilet seat and the rim of the toilet itself.
This is how the GoBidet attachment comes in the box. We have the arm that attaches the GoBidet to the toilet, we have a nut, a plastic washer and a rubber washer. The rubber washer will stay on that little bolt, but the nut and the plastic washer will come off. We're going to leave it right like that. You can also unscrew this all together if you want and move it over to this hole. If you want to have some opportunity for different placement of the GoBidet control panel, we'll look at that as we get further into the installation. When it comes to water connections, by default the GoBidet works with cold water. You can see the “C” here, this is the cold water inlet. Here's your “H”, for hot water inlet. By default, the hot water inlet is capped off. We can take a flat head screwdriver, to uncap it. If you get a hot water adapter kit with your GoBidet, install the nub that comes with that hot water adapter kit, so that you now have a hot water inlet as well. The hot water inlet would connect to the sink water line, or some other location where you can get hot water and of course the hot water kit is going to come with an additional hose and T-connector, to run that line. Today we are going to be installing the cold water only, but as you can see, getting the hot water set up is pretty straightforward, assuming that you get the hot water kit. Now we're going to place the arm into the hole that connects the toilet seat to the toilet. We want to make sure that this rubber washer is protecting the porcelain, so that's going to be between the two. Now we're going to put the plastic washer on the bottom side here, followed by the nut, so let's do that now. That's somewhat snug, we could get a wrench and tighten that down even further. This hole here, where the nub could also have connected, would allow us to connect the nub here and run it over to this hole if we needed positioning to be a little bit different. You'll also notice that these arms go over the rim of the toilet bowl, which allows the nozzle to hide inside the toilet bowl, under the rim and allows me to move this nozzle for front wash, or rear wash and even adjust it a little bit here, as needed, to get that positioning perfect.
Now we need to connect the GoBidet to the water supply. Right now, there's pressurized water in the line. We want to avoid disconnecting anything while that's the case, or we're going to have water everywhere. We're going to turn the water supply off, this is a quarter turn off valve. Then we're going to flush the toilet and hold down on the flush, until we don't hear water flowing anymore, so that we know as much water is out of the line as possible. Despite the fact that we've gotten so much water out of the line, we still want something to absorb any water that does fall out when we...

Thanks a lot for this vid. Those outtakes, lol! This is a very well made, not plastic, simple, very adjustable, relatively inexpensive bidet, had one for several years.
Now a funny bidet story... One day my wife was yelling for me to come see how there was water pouring from the ceiling over the toilet. I ran and got the superintendent for the building and we ran to the upstairs apartment but found no problem. We ran back downstairs and he saw that she had accidentally bumped into the lever so that the bidet was shooting a stream of water to the ceiling so hard you couldn't' tell WTF was happening.
Glad to hear you're loving yours! Yeah, any time you have a non-electric bidet, because there's no seat sensor, funny stories like yours are likely to happen! :-) Thanks for sharing :-)
@@ManyBidets LOL. I have a new story. Yesterday one of my neighbors moved out and left some things to go to Goodwill or whatever.Included was a bidet that had a wi-fi control panel with a ridiculous list of options to choose from. The first charity didn't what it, and I thought, why would anyone want a used toilet seat and was going to toss, but decided to look it up. It was like $800. So when I told tat to the next charity they were happy to take it.
@@Wearephuct-O 90% of what we sell is 600 dollars or more! And yes, they are amazing! The most expensive item we sell is over 21,000 dollars, and we sell multiple of those every year :-)
@@ManyBidets WOW! I hope they include a happy ending
Just a tip for the inexperienced during troubleshooting. This pressure setting is pretty sensitive. If you wrap the toilet seat in plastic wrap, you can let it run at full pressure. This will also keep you from shooting the ceiling or yourself. 😅 The ceiling is drying as I write. My unit needed to have the nut tightened at the top of the unit under the arm, but it didn’t leak on low. A little tightening, and it was fixed.
You've got a good point! The Go Bidet has a lot of power :-)
Long time GB user here. It works great and I wish I installed it sooner! Did not bother trying to get hot water. Getting hot water might be nice, but for me that would mean a much more complicated plumbing project. Initially I was concerned cold water would be uncomfortable but it does not bother me at all. WARNING: Some (more modern plastic) toilet seats have a built-in contour on the bottom side that partially "wraps around" the rim of the bowl. Go Bidet requires about 3/8" clearance between the seat and the rim of the toilet bowl, i.e., it requires a toilet seat that has a FLAT BOTTOM and is reasonably rigid, otherwise there could be insufficient space for the GB lines that run over the edge of the bowl.
Thanks for the feedback!!
Hi Dan...I Luv!!! My Go Bidet. It has stood the Test of Time. It's been with me for more than 20 Years. EZ to Install and to Remove. All though mine is one of the first models. Mine does not have the long extension in the top back. I Luv the fact that the only hardware tools required is Putty tape(plumbers tape) and an adjustable wrench. PS Don't Forget to: Turn off the Water Valve from the Main Wall Knob then drain ALL the toilet water tank out, before starting this EZ project. I lost my Plastic Toilet Spacer. I gotta get one of those. Enjoy your GoBidet. Thank-U for this Video.😉😁
Thanks for sharing! I agree :-)
This has been around 20 years?
@@CupidFromKentucky moreeeeeeeeee 👍👏👏👏
Thanks for posting! This was really helpful. 😊 I did end up using my own plumber’s tape because the one that came with it kept folding in on itself.
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Question: If I install the bidet into the left side toilet seat hole, how can I also install the left side toilet seat bolt in that same hole? I have had these units in the past in both of our bathrooms. We loved them very much. Unfortunately we pretty much wore them out so disposed and then couldn't find replacements. So glad I found you. My husband installed them but he has passed away so I will be doing the install. I think I can do it but came up with the above question. Thank you.
Hello, you will install the seat over the GoBidet and the bolt will go through both the GoBidet and the Seat at the same time. Reach out if you have any other questions on this!
Thank you very much@@ManyBidets
I'm seeing modern toilet seats with a different connection to the bowl. On toilets with a skirt, the seat connects with a top screw instead of a bolt with nut underneath. Does this bidet still work if you remove the supplied threads completely?
The Go bidet will work with a top mount setup. Thanks for asking!
Question: Can you install on left side of toilet or its just right sided?
We attempted a while back to do a left sided install without success.... :-/ It's really designed to be installed on the right side.
Can i use on a French curve toilet
This attachment can work, but there's a chance you'll need to cut the arm to make it shorter depending on how tight the french curve is
The toilet seat squishes the bidet pipes. Is my toilet sit just not compatible?
You might be running into a situation where the bumpers on your current toilet seat are not as tall as the gobidet requires. It's rare, but we have seen this a few times in the 8 years we've been selling it.
@@ManyBidets Thank you so much. I looked and the bumpers are indeed very thin.
@@itchipede1015 You are very welcome! Let me know if anything else comes up!
Complaints from us and friends are that people's right leg hits the controller section so we removed it and returned it. Would be nice if they could manage to make that controller handheld instead of fixed so it wouldn't get in the way.
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a very common complaint when it comes to non-electric bidet seats, and one of the main reasons we recommend electric units 9 times out of 10. Non-electric units can't have hand held remotes, as there's no way for the signal from the controller to make it to the bidet. Check out some of our most popular electric seats here: ruclips.net/video/P31y6CuITgg/видео.html
@@ManyBidets Why not fabricate it with hoses and a wall-mount hook? My issue with the seats is not only does it feel like a potty toilet because it takes up so much room to hold the tank and wand, you end up leaning forward with a small hole for the butt to sit and it feels abnormal.
@@3sidesofeve711 We don't make the Go Bidet, so I can't speak to other designs that the manufacturer might have considered. I could see something like that working.
@@ManyBidets Yea I agree. I've talked to a few friends about this. Buying one of these bidets and hacking it to make a controller with either a joystick and pressure knob or at the very least a joystick type of device with a pressure knob.. once they're done, they can hang it back on the wall.
Don’t like cold water wash
You're not alone. It's one of the main reasons we really recommend electric units. We still have customers that are simply looking for a cold water wash, and for them, this is a great option. If you'd like to talk about units that offer warm water washes, don't hesitate to reach out!
Poor design and expensive for the UK market!!
Thanks for your feedback! Based on our decades worth of experience in the bidet market, it's by FAR the best attachment design we've ever seen, however, we're always looking for feedback. Can you explain how you feel your Go Bidet could be better? Did you have issues with the install, the use, or are there other aspects of it you did not like? If you're able to provide feedback on why you did not like your Go Bidet experince, I'd be happy to pass it along.
