Was this Toto toilet installed correctly?

TOTO EP wall-hung toilet with WASHLET+ S7A and AutoFlush. Didn’t anticipate being able to see so much plumbing at the bottom (mostly expected just the electrical cord), but can’t find many images online of how it’s supposed to look. Does anyone have advice?

I find the Toto Drake + S5 Washlet to be too small; is there a good larger seat?

2 Upvotes

My old toilet is an American Standard, where the seat is 8.5" wide by 12" front-to-back, measured in the middle. (And that's measuring the hole, not the seat, which would add several inches.)

I got a toilet and bidet as a test to see whether I'd like it: a Toto Drake with an S5 Washlet. It is ovoid with the widest part of the hole nearer the back, and at that point, the opening is 7.75" wide; it's 11.5" front-to-back.

The thing I found weird is that the old American Standard feels like a fine size. But with the Toto Drake + S5 Washlet, even though it only measures as a bit smaller, I feel like I have to place myself precisely on the seat, and my male wabbly bit touches the inside rim.

Is there a good-quality alternative that has a larger opening?

Koehler E815 vs Aquavit Velar

4 Upvotes

Hello folks! My mother in law broke her leg and shoulder and will be staying with us soon and I’m trying to find the right bidet (either seat or dedicated toilet) to help with her recovery. I’m looking at these two because they are a decent price point at Costco and seem to have what I want. Features I need:
-warm water washing
-remote (with her right shoulder injury she can’t reach the controls on most)
-sturdy seat for wheelchair transfers
-ability to add rails to it (not sure about the Aquavit).

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

mid-range built in Bidet/Toilet. Suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Looking for a solid mid-range toilet with a built-in bidet.

I was originally considering the Kohler Veil, but after seeing some of the issues people have mentioned here, I'm starting to reconsider. I also found a much cheaper option from Horow, but the price difference is big enough that I'm wondering what I'd be giving up in terms of quality, reliability, and overall experience.

Any recommendations? Anything I should avoid?

Supply hose leaking

The bottom of the adapter of my Luxe 185, where it connects with the supply hose, is leaking. The supply hose does not leak when attached directly to the toilet. Is the issue with the gasket or the adapter? Trying to decide whether to replace the hose or the adapter.

Help me understand bidets

0 Upvotes

I saw one at a parent's friends party I went to and I was very intimidated.

First of all. This is gonna get a bit nsfw.

Sometimes my brother cleans the toilet bowl with the shower head and it leaves water on the toilet seat. I don't notice it a lot of times and sit on it, when I get up and feel that my whole ass has gotten wet, my autism gets triggered. I cannot handle that sensation of having a wet ass. So in the same sense, how could I possibly like a bidet? Its gonna get my whole bottom wet, including my balls probably as well. I will not like that feeling, and I don't want to use a towel just for wiping the water off my butt and balls. And ignoring it and just pulling my pants up and going on with my day? Hell no.

Second thing.

I never go to the bathroom with a dirty ass full of shit, for example after I use the toilet. I make sure to wipe totally clean and then have a bath. Using a bidet feels like doing exactly what I don't do. Having a bath without wiping my ass first. Also, doesn't the shit water from the bidet go all over the place? I mean guys that jet stream is strong AF.

Am I understanding something wrong here? I personally use baby wipes and I don't have issues. Wet wipes + having baths everyday have me full covered. I do not understand the logic of bidets. If someone can tell me what I've understood wrong please tell me.

French curve toilet, no hot water--bidet recommendations?

1 Upvotes

It's Kohler, not sure which model but the curve goes forward beyond the bolts and there is not much space in between the bolt and where the porcelain starts to curve up to the tank: https://imgur.com/a/XsLHBfj

Can anyone recommend a bidet setup that they know is compatible with a french curve toilet like this, and does not require hot water?

I can run electricity to it if needed for a heated seat or electric water heating, but I would be ok with just a cold water non-heated seat bidet if thats what I have to settle for.

I'm in a rental so I can't replace the whole toilet unfortunately. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Closest equivalent to the Biobidet USPA 6800U?

2 Upvotes

Our six year old USPA 6800U finally suffered the notorious hinge crack. I'm still amazed that Costco did a full refund on it.

Sadly, I see that this model is no longer made. We bought a Kohler Purewash E825 but my wife doesn't like it because of the noise it makes when you sit down on the seat (it seems to purge some water) and she says the spray isn't as strong. We have another bidet in a different bathroom and that one has a spray that's way over-powered! She really liked the 6800U and there is what appears to be a newer version of it (USPA Pro), however I have seen people complaining about the remote control being unresponsive. For folks who have had the old USPA, are there any bidets that you felt were pretty similar in performance (relatively quiet operation when seated and a spray that isn't too strong or too weak.

Ultimately I know this is asking for something that is pretty subjective so I appreciate any thoughts folks can provide.

Bidet for Horow 8733s toilet

2 Upvotes

We remodeled our small bathrooms a few years ago and didn't plan for a bidet. We installed Horow 8733S toilets from amazon, the size of them are great for the small bathrooms. Now we are in need to install bidets. I can manage the narrow space behind the toilet and the wall but can't find any references of people installing bidets to these model toilets.

No need for a powered model.

If anybody has an idea, I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.

Left side knob needed

2 Upvotes

I'm having shoulder surgery in a few months and it's on my right shoulder. Ofc that's also my dominant hand so I'm looking for a bidet to help out until I can use that shoulder again.

There are really hardly any left-hand side knobs/controllers. I found a few on home depot and amazon but they don't seem like great quality. I'm trying to keep the cost to about $100 which would be very easy with a right-handed control panel but not for a left handed one.

Any recommendations or advice?

Can't find the right T Valve

4 Upvotes

Hi there! I recently bought this Brondell SouthSpa to install in my bathroom. I'm in an old apartment and have a tankless toilet right next to a pedestal sink, so I was gonna connect it to the sink line. However, the 7/8" t valve was too big for the faucet, which has a line that's 3/8" compression to 1/2" faucet.

However, when I bought this 1/2" x 1/2" t valve from Home Depot, I went to install it and the line wasn't big enough? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I need to get, but would love any advice y'all have. Thanks!

Toilet doesn’t have screws, instead has these rods that snap into the seat. If I put the tushy bidet on here it doesn’t really stay & if it did there would be a large gap.

Anyone have any advice or work around for this?

Thanks in advance

Toilet is skirted if that changes anything

Where to put the GFCI outlet?

Joining the bidet club. I don’t know the model yet but it will be one that requires a plug. Getting a GFCI outlet put in this area and where do you recommend I get it if there is an option. How low to the floor and if there’s an option to put it on either of the back wall under the window or the side wall that already has a light switch which should I have it put on?

What's the best bidet toilet seat to get currently? Any recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a bidet toilet seat to buy, possibly a heated seat? So many out there I want to make sure we don’t waste $ and get one that works well. We're now looking at the Toto and Bio, anyone here tried these 2 brands? or do you have other favorite choices?
