RichS Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hmmm, very good. I was going to install a bidet but these look better. Being Yorkshire I think I will have to rename it though, how's Shitoff sound ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 10 hours ago, JSHarris said: Yes, but they are a LOT easier to use. Mine has a thermostatic mixer valve that sets the temperature, so to use it you just point it down the pan, push the trigger and wait a few seconds for it to get to temperature (very quick if you run the hot tap on the basin first). The jet of water is more powerful than a bidet and you can direct it exactly where it's needed. They really are fantastic bits of kit, and once you've got used to one you look back on the horrid practice of smearing one's backside with excrement using toilet paper with horror. Quite why they aren't a standard toilet appliance here I don't know. It was a Muslim friend who first showed me one, a few years ago, and I wanted to fit one to our old house, when I re-did the bathroom, but SWMBO wasn't having it. This time I just fitted one when I built the bathroom and if she doesn't like it, then tough............. @JSHarris - do you have a link on a recommended model?

The Ebay link above is very similar to the one I bought. I opted for an all-stainless steel version, just because I wasn't 100% sure of the quality of the chrome on something bought sight unseen, but it seems that Ebay is as good a place as any to get one. They don't seem to be around much in the bigger suppliers yet. Make sure you get one with a thermostatic mixer, that connects to the hot and cold. I fitted the thermostatic mixer under the basin, inside the built in cabinet and then plumbed the feed pipe to the shower fitting inside the adjacent WC cabinet, which made for a neat installation.

Barney12 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have a ‘shitoff’ unit like the one Jeremy linked to on a thermostatic mixer outside at the back of the garage. It’s absolutely perfect for washing down dirty dogs/humans after walking on the moor. Wouldn’t be without one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 "Shitoff" is not a term we appreciate on this forum. "Jetwashmyarseuntilthecraphasgone" will be what we use from now on. The management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
