CleanSpa Luxury Hand-Held Bidet Sprayer

not a true replacement for a standard bidet with hot and cold water mixing, but still excellent product for a personal hygiene for the price and convenience.

2013/10/19 - I installed this just over a week ago and the product is functioning perfectly. The instructions are adequate, but may seem be a bit confusing or incomplete if you don't take the time to read them through and understand where all the parts go before you start. You will need a flexible connection between the bottom of your flush tank and the wall valve. If you have a rigid tube, it will need to be replaced. Also, the instructions don't tell you to use Teflon tape on all threaded connections. I would recommend this to help avoid any leaks. This may very well have been the problem with those who complained about leaking and rusting. I secured the sprayer holster to the wall instead of using the tank clip and, although the holster is plastic, it seems to be solid and secure. I've found that you can control the spray pressure by adjusting the T-valve at the flush tank (the valve at the wall should be fully open). We have ours at just under half open. Otherwise, the water pressure will be just as strong as what goes into your flush tank. As far as temperature, the water is typically going to be as cold as your tap water, as they both come from the same water main.My wife loves this so much, she has asked that I install another in out second bathroom. I'm placing that order today.2013/11/11 - I purchased (on Oct 19) and installed the second and we are just as satisfied. We've experienced no leaks or other problems with either (so far). For those that have experienced leaking at the connections and for those that want to avoid the problem, I would suggest using the Teflon tape on all threaded connections. This item remains a five-star item for me.

The CleanSpa doesn't come with or suggest using teflon plumbing tape and I was eager to install it, so I didn't use any. It leaked everywhere there's a screw fastening. I removed it and reinstalled after applying plumbing tape at every connection, but it still leaked from where it connects with the toilet box (I might have been hesitant to over-tighten as it connects to plastic). Not able to find the correct size beveled washer, I added a second thinner, more pliable flat washer and that did the trick.Of course, all this aggravation was avoidable had I used plumbing tape initially. That said, the product is very well constructed and works well. It should pay for itself in a year in reduced toilet paper usage. In addition to personal hygiene, it makes cleaning the toilet much easier.

Our family loves this bidet. The nozzle hooks on the tank, so there is no hardware to clean around the toilet bowl itself (which can be gross). The spray can come out HARD if you put the handle all the way down, or gentle if you squeeze a little bit. We haven’t had any leaking, but we turn the valve off after each use, which is no big deal.This is also a great choice for women, because you can also wash from front to back and avoid getting UTIs. The ability to manipulate the hose to get the right angle is key! This bidet is saving our family so much money on toilet paper it’s paying for itself.

To be honest, nothing and everything works perfect

What I received has the following issues, day 1:1. The spring behind the trigger is weak so you have to "push" it closed (from behind) after each use. This is unacceptable for a $60 spray.2. The jet is rather "broad" so, given that most retrofits provide a somewhat low pressure water stream, this means that you have to use it for a long time to have a hope to clean yourself. Again, since the spray is broad and thus weak, there will be times when you can spray till the cows come home and it will still fail to do its job: leave you clean. They need to redesign the spray head "holes" (like your shower head) to create strong jets.I have spent ~12 months all together in SE Asia now and likely used ~60 different such "hand held bidet" sprays of various quality. This one "looks great" but works very poorly. It would be good for watering plants! Disappointing. Buy something else.

We have had this for four months and every day I think to myself, 'This is amazing -- I have to share a review.' So many good things. It installs easily if you're at least a little bit handy. Reaching and using the sprayer, as well as the on/off lever, is readily accomplished even for someone under 5' tall. The sprayer dock is substantial and sturdy, and the force of the water is easily controlled with a little practice and finesse using the spray nozzle. (We live in a very high water pressure area so I only open the flow valve about a third before using.I avoided standard fixed placement bidet units because of cleaning issues and placement of the jets. I love that this handheld unit does not come in contact with either other toilet parts, or possible bodily fluids -- but the best feature is that being handheld it can be directed from front and/or back as you choose. The winter water temperature in Buffalo is a bit "brisk", to say the least, but I knew what to expect and didn't find that particularly disagreeable. Now that the weather (and water) is getting warmer I might even miss it!One definitely unexpected benefit: We filter the water we use in our cat fountain. The pitcher does not fit under any of our second floor faucets. This little baby is perfect for filling the pitcher AND, it turns out, for rinsing particles out of the fountain daily between deep cleanings.
