Since when is the water that cold over here anyway Our toilet with the bidet seat heats the water and also the toilet seat. Has a nightlight inside the lid also. Could have paid a bit more and gotten one that automatically raised the lid when you got close to it, but our bathroom is fairly small and I didn't want it raising the lid every time someone got close to it. I can't understand why more people aren't endorsing toilets with bidet seats.

kokesaat Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I bought a bidet seat from Lazada for less than 500 Baht. No electric required. Doesn't use hot water, no whistles, bells, just a nice cool stream of water to wash things off. Extra simple to install. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i1696722612-s4794324012.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&laz_trackid=2:mm_150551077_51752951_2010952694:clkgg2elf1frp385b9pkgi&mkttid=clkgg2elf1frp385b9pkgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, despite having an architect design the condo and my spending hours of online researching, drawing, contemplating, etc, I had neglected to specify an electrical power point in the bathroom for hair care appliances. Yes, a single power point for the toilet, but none for the devices to fry my hair. After much discussion, the contractor and I decided the only solution was to change the single power point for the toilet into a double outlet. Now I rather awkwardly sit on a stool next to the toilet to style my hair. Thank goodness I didn't get the upscale toilet with the seat that automatically rises when you get close to the toilet. Also, thank goodness there is a urinal elsewhere in the bathroom, so the toilet stays fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I come from electric sockets in a bathroom are a no-no, except a low volt shaver outlet, I think the reason is obvious, nor even a light switch, the switch must be outside the room or have a ceiling pull cord......

I picked what was probably the most expensive stainless steel one in Global House for our new bathroom. That was three years ago and it's still going strong with no leaks. I bought a cheaper one for the guest bathroom and it lasted about 6 months before it started to leak. The moral of the tale is obvious. Don't use your guest bathroom? noted.

I and SWMBO spent a number of years in Japan where there are probably the highest concentration of public and institutional toilets with seats often costing over ¥400,000 each (north of 120k Baht). When we built neither of us wanted to install even one. The quality bum gun (at 1,000 Baht for a Häfele one ) does a far better and more through job.

Yes, it cannot be left standing on metal surfaces, especially the fake chrome. It works so fast on faucet stringers though that it causes no damage. Generally not to be used for more than one or two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good choice too, as well as acetic acid (vinegar) but they don't act as fast or as effectively. For toilet applications where it is diluted, HCl better IMO.

millymoopoo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 On 2/12/2022 at 4:30 PM, Petey303 said: The leak is not from the threads - it seems to be coming from the hose where it enters the gun end. The water runs down the wall and leaves a stain as well (another negative). I did buy an expensive metal one... I am thinking bidet and forget the whole bum gun. Again, check the ends where the 'O' ring or washer is.! The hose from a hand held shower it the same only longer, another option is to try one of them. Finally, as I was concerned about hose failure when we are not home I installed a tap, first, before the hose. If one was installed on your system, guarantees no hose leakage if turned off after use.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might work. This a real do it yourself solution, when there is now flow the pressure in the hose is the same as before the valve. Even if you close the valve 95%????

Neeranam Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Heated bum sprays are the best. Mine is naturally heated during the day, sometimes extremely hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grin Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 We've had mixed luck with our bum guns. I think a lot of it has to do with family or guests dropping them on the floor. I know my son's girlfriend has done this twice. She has also broken a shower spray head by dropping it. I have nice Karat guns in my office toilet and in the master bedroom toilet. However, they do not swivel. In fact I've never seen a swiveling bum gun. Can anyone point out a specific model where the gun swivels? I would definitely like to try one out.
