How to Install Bumwash Bidet
Kiss your toilet paper goodbye with our simple and hassle-free bidet installation guide.
Step by Step Guide
1
Before you start, make sure you have a towel underneath the toilet water connection on the wall.
2
Check if your toilet has a T-adapter with an open and close valve for shutting off the water.
We do not recommend installing a bidet without a Shut Off Valve connected to the Wall Water Outlet. Please purchase a shut off valve for the water outlet in our accessories section.

Connect the T-adapter male connection to the female water connection from either below the water tank or from the wall connection.
Tighten with an adjustable wrench and ensure the open and close handle is easily accessible.

Keep the open/close valve pointed in the same direction as the male connection, which keeps the valve closed.

Testing the Bidet Spray

You can adjust the spray's water pressure by opening the T-adapter valve further.
Recommendations for Daily Use and Longevity
Turn off the T-adapter when not in use. Build up of water pressure into the spray can cause leaks and quicker deterioration of the bidet parts.
Use medium water pressure by not having the T-adapter turned up all the way. This will avoid water spills and accidents.
Keep it clean with general household bathroom cleaners.
