Installation tips
Installation was fairly easy, takes about 15 minutes under ideal conditions.
At a minimum you need an adjustable wrench to help loosen the old fittings and a screwdriver to take off your toilet seat.
It is helpful to have some plumbers tape; a single layer between fittings helps ensure there are no leaks.
It is also helpful to have a pan of hot water to soften the clear plastic tubing before you try to install it. I used a pair of sturdy scissors to trim the excess tubing before installation.
The instructions never say “place the clear plastic washer in the top of the adaptor fitting”, and it’s easy to misplace, but if you leave it off the ensemble leaks like crazy.
When you’re attaching the unit under the toilet seat, move the water adjustment lever back and forth and make sure the nozzle has clearance and won’t hit the rim of the toilet.
The unit fits under the back of your toilet seat, so unless you get seat bumpers (sold separately for about $4) you’ll put strain on your seat and (eventually) cause it to break. It’s weird to sit at tilt, too.
If you live in a cold area, upgrade to one that heats the water.
