Best Bidet you can buy!! if you buy more parts to adjust the neglectful engineering.
What a clever product! They thought of everything... ALMOST!
This bidet blows all the other ones on the market out of the water. It has hot water! it has a separate nozzle for feminine cleansing, a nozzle cleaning function, and a splash guard to keep it clean when not being used. It has a really really nice ergonomic and infinitely variable control valve to control the temperature and pressure that suits you personally. It installs easily. It even comes with a couple wrenches. It really has everything you could possibly think of right?
Wrong. It has the same fundamental flaws that the cheapest options on the market have. The really nice ergonomic and infinitely variable single control valve designed to achieve adjustability in temperature and pressure doesn't work well at all in the control of pressure.
Like most of these back of the toilet bidet designs a very small adjustment on the control valve results in a very large change in pressure. It is very easy to accidentally produce a high pressure stream that can hurt your sensitive little nether regions. So I never turn the valve as far as halfway open because it just produces an obscene amount of pressure...Ouch! I am not trying to put out any fires I am just trying to clean myself sustainably in a way that was once considered great luxury. Early in the morning or late at night when you are tired it is especially dangerous to have a very sensitive control valve with the capacity to produce pressures that are much higher then you ever want and If you have kids or elderly people in your house definitely don't install this without a few in-line pressure valves ... you could tighten the valves a bit under your sink but that would decrease the faucet pressure too.
The following is a link to exactly the type of thing that would solve the problem. It costs less than 5 dollars per unit.

If a quality engineer ever used this bidet and thought about it for a few minutes I am sure that the same conclusion that I made would be reached. When the water pressure which in your faucet for example produces a 1 inch diameter stream is forced through a nozzle with a few 1mm holes the pressure (and speed) make up for the dcrease in volume. Ignoring this simple fact when manufacturing a product designed to control the pressure of water being applied to one of the most sensitive places on your body is unacceptable if you ask me. Especially when this problem renders the bulk of the range of motion of your controls useless. Since I bought this for the controllability then I would say it doesn't work as it is supposed to.
I believe that this problem is too fundamentally important to the unit, obvious and easily/cheaply solved to be overlooked. So it gets 1 star from me.
I have purchased 3 systems like this and I consistently have the same problem with too much pressure despite the fact that I have well-water and lower then average water pressure.
Other than that it is the best bidet you can buy you will just have to include two in line water pressure valves if you want it to truly function properly.
