it came with every thing you needed to connect to your hot water and cold water no drill needed. yes you can uninstall it to use it some where else.

If your hot/cold water valve(s) is enclosed (say, under the sink in a cabinet) then you will need to drill a small hole for the tubing to reach it inside. Other than that, nothing drastic. Just be sure it's a 2-piece toilet. The unit didn't fit our old 1-piece American Standard toilet.

It can be easily installed and uninstalled with the instructions and accessories come with the product. A wrench is the only tool needed

David, it would be very easy to take this with you on vacation. You would just have to take the faucet adaptor that comes with it, as well, and install it in the faucet you plan to use. (This is not difficult.) I live in a rented apartment most of the time, and I bought this unit to use ONLY with a faucet adaptor, not under the sink. It is not a beautiful appliance, rather space-ship-like with long plastic tubing that whips around when not in active use. I STORE it under the counter, and this is perfectly fine with me. I have never taken it traveling, but I would not hesitate to do so. The unit seems more than sturdy enough to withstand some jostling. It would be extremely easy to break it down and set it up in a new location. I have had this unit for more than a year, and it still works beautifully. About time for a filter replacement according to the calendar, but there seems to be no reduction in quality or speed of filtration. The best part is that when I am using it, I can lift the "reject" tubing to see what is coming out and it is almost always milky-white with...something (unthinkable)... most likely the dissolved salts that are so high here in the summertime when we switch to Colorado River water... while the filtered water is crystal clear. My orchids have never been so happy before! :) I recommend this one without reservations.

answered previously but left this out: The water connecting line IS NOT included. If you cannot use the old one, pick up a new one for the new toilet. And the toilet flushes great once I put it in!!

I have it in a 3 BR 1 bath rental property with 3 people. They take showers one right after the other and said they don't run out of hot water whatsoever. It seems to do wonderful there. its been installed now for 5 months and no problems, tenants are very happy with it. I had to buyer the gas line, plumbing etc to where it tied in, but that's normal with any new installation. It was a tremendous savings over a traditional water heater, and the tenants and I are very glad we installed it. So much so, that I am installing the same one in a diner I own for the dishwasher. I think it will work great. Hope that helps. I have it in a 3 BR 1 bath rental property with 3 people. They take showers one right after the other and said they don't run out of hot water whatsoever.

Well, this is made to go onto the main water pipe feeding your house, so you may not have access to that. For an apartment maybe one that fits onto your faucet might be better.

We live in an apartment also, and Danby provides you with everything you need to hook it up to an average kitchen sink. They give you a fitting that mounts on your faucet, and a quick disconnect on the hose so you can get it off easily. It vents into the sink, but we have to be careful to weigh the hose down or the water pressure forces it right out of the sink.

Do not do not do not (do not) dump it down a sink, especially not a stainless steel sink. I dumped mine in my RV sink and it ate through the steel finish. Follow the instructions and only flush it down the toilet.

Yes, cold water have to connect direct to the toilet line. If you want hot water you have to connect to the sink hot water line and this is your option.

I replaced the toilet, so the Bemis no longer fit. I actually gave it to someone else who wanted it. Before that, I cleaned it with Clorox to ensure it was completely clean. It did not appear to cause any type of damage or discoloration. This is anecdotal evidence and not a scientific experiment, but it was not a problem for me.

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.

I'm not sure the unit is intended for external installation. Mine is under an inside sink. That having been said, the water connections are on the bottom. it seems to me that if you shut off the valve and unscrew the water connections, the water would with the help of gravity, drain out of the unit.

Here is my instructable which shows what I did. Some people in the comments had some other ideas. I prefer connecting to the ballcock connection because we are renting, and EVERY toilet in the USA has ballcock, but wall connections vary.http://www.instructables.com/id/Installing-a-Japanese-toilet-Seat/

in most situations, the sink vanity is right next to the toilet. So the kit comes with a "T" to put on the sink's hot water supply line. I have one bathroom where the toilet is across from the sink, I had to get creative on that one. It turns out that behind the wall the toilet was on, was a washing machine hot water supply line that I tied into and just ran the hose through the wall. Good luck. its worth it!!

From my husband: If your sink line is easily accessible, you should be able to install it to the wall pipe and attach the flexible hose from the sink to the top. The on/off switch for the sprayer will be on the line attached to the wall, so if it is in a cabinet or vanity it may be difficult to get to each time. The bumkins website has instructions on how to install to the toilet. It would be the same, just to the sink line instead. Hope this helps!

This faucet have two water connectors (Hot and Cold) and it needs to connect to two outlets(I think is 3/8") from your shower. So if you have a traditional single valve or three valves faucet; you will need to remove the valves and put two connectors. You will definitely need to remove the tiles and knock out two holes depending how big your tiles are and the tiles placement. I just remodeled my bathroom about 6 months ago from a tub to a walk-in shower so basic everything was rip out. I installed this unit in the new shower and it is definitely worth all the efforts. The unit has worked flawlessly since it was installed and it looks very modern.

Its not really an issue. The hot water is fed from your sink. So turn the hot water on there, and turn it on to a trickle on the bidet so u can clear out the cold water. Al while you do your buisness. By the time your ready to wash water should be warm
