eboy Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) When I want to adjust the pressure of the jet of water provided by my toilet hose I have to get down on my hands and knees and tweak the water pressure valve located near the bottom of the toilet. I can never get the pressure right. It's always painfully strong, or ineffectively weak. Is there a toilet hose for sale where the hose head lets you adjust the strength of the stream of water coming out of it? If the answer is yes, could you please provide the brand, model number, and hopefully a website where I can order it? A photo would also be nice.

msbkk Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The get the exact required pressure is often difficult because of unstable water pressure in the building. In my case the pressure changes from minute to minute even the valve position is exactly the same. I have so far not seen an adjustable hose itself, the valves are normally located at the wall near the toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean feeding the cistern or for the bum gun???? I will assume the bum gun. You need to squeeze the trigger gently.

Popular Post Crossy Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2023 We have several "stainless steel" variants which, if you can "feel" the clutch on a manual transmission, you can easily regulate the flow and not get the involuntary enema 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandatory if you have a quality water pump like the Grundfos Scala2 which can deliver 5 m3/hr at 0-8m head at 10 bar (145 PSI). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On for the toilet and one for the bum gun. Both work well and independently of each other. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Look for a good valve with a long handle. We have such and they can be easy adjusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboy Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 I found a product on Amazon.com that looks like it might do the trick. Do any plumbing experts reading his think it might, or might not, work? Here's the link: Water Flow Control Valve The seller says it's designed to work with a "bidet sprayer", which I guess is a nice way of saying a bum gun.

It’s no different than the locally sourced products you have already been told of. However if you don’t want to go into your local store, it will work, though the control is smaller so not as good.

Not under the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I believe OP is relying on city/village water pressure (no tank/pump), so you'll just need to turn up to full pressure, and trial & error, hope to find a bum gun such as Crossy has, that can adjust to flow while using. Our city pressure is fairly constant, high, and gun is adjustable with a soft touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to post a couple of pictures you would get better suggestions. Edited February 17, 2023 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Issue is water pressure change to main tap - not absence of control valve. Yes there are adjustable guns - but in my experience not worth using - fail easily and leak. Light touch on trigger of good quality gun will work wonders. Good quality control valve could also be helpful (long handle easy to adjust). If living in house good quality water pump might be all you need.
