How to Choose the Best Toilet Bidet Attachment

by Shari J. Mojica August 24, 2020
written by Shari J. Mojica

If you are new to the whole concept of using a toilet bidet, it will be tougher for you to shop for one.

A popular and cheaper option to have your own toilet bidet at home is to get a bidet attachment instead of a new stand-alone toilet bidet model.

This is considered to be a more practical purchase decision because you do not need to look for additional space or redo your plumbing.

A bidet toilet attachment is made to work with an already existing toilet and can work with the water supply valves that you already have.

It also takes lesser time to install – you can have it up and work in less than an hour compared to getting a new unit that can take more than a day to install.

But how do you shop for the right bidet toilet attachment? Here is a list of factors that you should keep in mind.

The attachment should be the right fit

Of course, the most important thing that you should consider is if the bidet attachment is the right fit for your own toilet.

No need to worry though as this can be easily resolved unless you have a complicated toilet. Although each model and make are different, most of these are designed to fit standard one-piece toilets.

Quality
You will be using your toilet every day so your toilet bidet attachment should also be made out of quality materials. Stay clear of low-quality models since these will wear down faster.

Choose a brand that has a good reputation for quality. To do so, take the time to read reviews to see what people have to say about their product.

Choose models that use durable materials such as stainless steel or brass to ensure that the bidet attachment you purchase will have a long lifespan.

Warranty
Like most products, it is wiser to get a model that has its own comprehensive warranty.

Most models come with a one-year warranty, which is a good deal. One year is actually the standard for the industry. However, it is possible to find something that can cover beyond that.

Do you need warm water?

Some people prefer being washed with warm water instead of cold water. If you want this option, I suggest you look at the layout of your bathroom first. This is because some bidet attachment will need an extra hose that goes to your sink to provide warm water options.

So, if your sink is positioned away from the toilet, chances are you will have a hard time having this feature. You may want to invest in a bidet toilet seat instead, which could be more expensive compared to a bidet toilet attachment.

Installation

Most toilet bidet attachments are easy to install. They come with instructions that are not so complex.

For most models, all you have to do is remove the seat, place the attachment between the toilet base and the seat, then reattach the toilet. Then, you just have to hook it up with the water supply and check to see if there are any leaks.

If you are not so handy when it comes to installation, you can always hire an expert or ask someone with experience to do it for you.

With the help of this guide, we have no doubt that you will be able to find the right toilet bidet attachment for your bathroom.

When it comes to the layering of tiles, a professional is recommended since there are measurements that have to be accurately made. Also, note the tiles must be on the same level as the drain or preferably a few meters higher than it to achieve an optimal level of water drainage. The space created should fit the grate afterward.

Insert the built-in drainage set and make sure it is well placed to align with the drainage system. Adjust the height if need be to ensure the proper flow of water. This can be done using height-adjustable pegs that are readily available for purchase. Connect the shower drain to the drainage pipe.

However, there’s the need to check for more than one joints as specific vanity basins are connected to the wall from top to bottom for rigidity.

Replace the drawers: Certain vanity basins are installed with drawers for storage. You have to decide if you still want the drawer in place or have them removed. For replacement purpose, you might have to unscrew every single nut that holds the drawer in place while replacing each part with the newer version. At other times, it could prove ideal to have the old drawer furniture coated to make it termite-proof.

Faucets come in various shapes and designs, and this gives an extra touch of beauty to your bathroom setup. Also, there’s the possibility of installing two or more faucets on the basin for hot and cold water.

Install the vanity and place the countertop: Now that the faucet has been successfully installed, it can now be coupled alongside the countertop to the drawer frame. You should ensure the vanity is appropriately screwed to the wall from top to bottom to provide a firm grip. As soon as the vanity is well positioned, the countertop can then be fixed. The edges of the vanity top should also be well secured with caulk so that it doesn’t tip off during heavy use.

Connect the water supply: Now that the whole vanity frame is in place, you must fix the plumbing connection. Once you’ve set the necessary pipes and connected the faucet to the water source, you can then turn on the water switch.
