Handheld bidet sprayers are a good way to eliminate toilet paper, saving 80% of the amount you typically use. They are also eco-friendly and easy to install.
What to Look For
Bidets usually have a pressure-sensitive lever or button that allows you to control the pressure. Some models offer additional flow valves for greater adjustability.
What to Consider
A bidet should be easy to clean and maintain, and its hose should be made of a material that is resistant to corrosion and oxidation. You should also choose a bidet with a spray head that is designed to be effective and comfortable for you.
What to Avoid
Many handheld bidets are made from plastic, which is less durable and more likely to leak than a brass or stainless steel model. If you're looking for a bidet that will be used frequently, you may want to invest in a model with a metal hose and wall bracket.
What to Know About Leaks
Leaks in a bidet can occur for several reasons, including overuse or faulty fittings. Most manufacturers recommend that you turn the t-valve off after each use and not tighten connections too much.
What to Know About Water Pressure
The amount of water pressure used by a bidet sprayer is dependent on the model and water supply. Generally, the higher the pressure, the more powerful the spray.
Some hand held bidets have a spring valve, while others are fitted with ceramic seals that can withstand higher pressures. If your bidet uses a spring valve, it's important to remember to turn it off after each use and release the pressure to prevent damage to the valve.
