won't be the prettiest of setup videos but when you're dealing in a bathroom they never really
are so what we're looking at here is the bidet unit itself the power cord and then
all the included hoses and accoutrements that we need so we've got our t-valve we've got a step
if we need it we've got l valve we've got our mounting hardware for the actual
bidet itself and maybe a cat just ran through the video
so this is everything unpacked as it comes in the box and now we will get started on installing
and lighting in the bathroom is always great and so is echoing so this will be fun but step one
when installing anything that deals with water is first shutting off your water once your water
is shut off you're going to come up and you're going to make sure that you empty the water tank
kind of holding down on that to make sure it's completely empty and you should also not hear any
water refilling the tank and if you're filming for youtube always make sure to clean your bathroom
first after you turn off your water you're probably going to want to get yourself a bucket or
some sort of catch in my case i have a towel down there and also my case since i'm dealing in a dark
area probably going to want to get yourself some sort of light so that you can actually
see what you're doing after we turn the water off and we get our drop cloth down or bucket
we are supposed to uncouple the hose from our tank now you will expect some water leakage
and since i'm doing this by myself i'm actually going to film this and try and work within this
very small workspace for me so you'll see intermittent cuts as i'm doing things so
we're gonna uncouple that from the tank once you have things decoupled the next step is to use your
t-bit here and i'm going to see if i can use the same bit of flexi pipe that i have here connected
to the t-pipe that was provided you can use and replace this if you have something that's older
and is not a burst proof one but since i already have it i'm gonna see if this will work for me all
right so there you go my t-valve in there i'm just hand tightening things so next step is to take my
pre-existing hose and see if it'll actually connect i did check ahead of time obviously
before putting that in so it will match up so i don't have to use the included hose just know
that you did get a included hose that you could use so in my case i'm just going to tighten that
back on so there we go everything's all connected for me and let me zoom in a little bit there kind
of looks like it's pinching the line a little bit but we're gonna see uh if that'll work all right
the next step in order of operations is to remove the toilet seat but if you follow the instructions
that come with the bidet itself the toilet seat removal is actually like step two but i wanted
something to lean on while i was trying to get into this little crevice over here for all the
water stuff so we're just gonna remove the toilet seat now all right so other toilet seat removed
clean this area just because you're going to be putting a bracket on here and this part will just
go over in here this is your mounting plate your little mounting catch plate one for each side i
slip in here give you a little more leeway up and down and then once this is installed side to side
what you're going to do is you're going to take this plate put it on the toilet and then here you
have your screw which comes all the way off like that this is going to sit on top and then your
pieces here will go under your toilet so where you kind of unscrew things from underneath the
toilet seat these sit underneath and then screw into this which is in here and the only reason
i'm doing it here is because well like i said is really tricky to film this and do it in a small
toilet and this is just an example as to why they give you sliding and the ability to move
things so you will adjust this as needed for your particular toilet so in my case i just lightly
have this one tamp down i'll do this other one now but you can kind of shift things and
i know that light is horrible but you can shift the plate from left to right and then use these
up and down to get your holes exactly where you need them so you can see on my end i'm going to
have a little hangover of the plate on either side because this is an older toilet but the next step
is actually to mount this to your toilet after which is to install this l bracket but because
this one does not come with a remote and it has the control panel on the left mounted the
l bracket first since i'm working in a very small space next step is to click into the bracket so
we're going to take our unit here and just kind of glide it in see if we can find where things are
so here's the tricky part you got to make sure that you're lined up in this little corridor here
and then you'll hear it click once it hits his back plate so we're just going to line
everything up and you'll know you did it right if you give it a little tug up and it's not moving
and then we're just going to shift it back until you hear that click so part of the
reason you don't mount the bracket really tight when you first start is i had to do a little
fiddling and you can't really tell here but it's not quite even that's because this weird
shaped toilet from the 90s i want to say once you kind of scooch it and you get the bowl
looking like you want and i'm not showing you the bolt because the bowl is horribly
stained because the clear coat has been coming off so i'm going to show you that
but kind of aligning things there means for me the back is crooked and here again like i said
it's really tight in there which is why i did the l bracket but next step is to take our supply line
for the bidet itself and attach it to the t-valve that we did underneath
and then to the bidet itself all right it's a little tight in there but t-valve set up
water supply to the l-valve for the bidet itself all situated so the next step is to actually turn
the water supply back on and make sure there's no leaks because that would be really bad so we're
going to turn on see if there's any leaks i do want to crank that on very slowly like i said i
don't really have room in here to film and show you but our supply line has been turned back on
i can hear the toilet tank refilling so we're just going to let that fill up and we're going to check
for leaks around all of our new points and again i know the lighting is horrible but now the fun
part for me the power supply is on the right hand side of the unit to keep everything away from the
water i get that but for me my electrical power is up here on the left-hand side so i'm gonna
run something down here and wrap that electrical cord around the back and then i'm probably gonna
mount something over there on the vanity but for the time being we're just going to take this
snake it around and get my cord going okay so we have things kind of pseudo plugged in
so we're going to take this and plug it in and see what we get
which would probably help if i turn the power strip on sounds like it's filling the tank
it's indicating that it has power
that seems to be really it there is a sticker on there indicating that you do need to be
seated on this in order for things to work that was installation we'll see how things
go operational wise later on the last thing that you want to do after completing your setup
is you're going to want to make sure that you monitor for leaks
quick and easy way to do this is just throw down some paper towels see if there's any drippage to
make sure that you're not leaking or if you like tech home stuff roost smart water sensor
just place that underneath and make sure that it doesn't detect any water
you
