What is the install like? Do I have to plumb to hot water line, or does it have a reservoir? Thanks!

You only need a single cold water line. It comes with a splitter, so then one line goes into the tank and one into the bidet. If your current tank supply line is not removable from the external shutoff valve, you will need a new shutoff valve (which means that you will need to shut off the water in your whole house). That's about the only possibility that would make the installation slightly less easy.

We had a plumber install it, he just was able to tap into the water line going to the toilet and the seat heats the water. I probably could have done it myself. It didn't look that hard.

Installation is easy! you will need power and water. you do not need a hot water line. I bought this replacing an older Toto model which was about 14 years old so the installation was quite easy. all you do is plug it in to the outlet, secure the seat to the toilet bowl and attach the water line to the water source!

We already had a bidet seat hooked up, so installing this one was pretty easy. I don't know how much more difficult it would have been, otherwise.

Install is straight forward and easy and it must have a reservoir because I didn't have to plumb to a hot water line.

Hi Steve, You can either use the water reservoir or buy a kit that will let you plumb the unit to your water system, You decide.

If you have traditional plumbing, where your hot and cold enter into a single valve, behind the wall, and then a pipe goes up the wall from the shower head, you would have to ct a hole in the wall to acccess those two water supply lines, add elbows so they protrude through the wall, add a male threaded pipe so you can screw the two water supply hoses from the back of this unit onto those. This is a surface mount system so we installed wood horizontal boards in the wall behind the new shower unit before we installed it. It is a nice additin, but veryy "cheap" alluminum. Mine had a ding in it, but I dd not want to hassel to return it. Sorry for the typos...my key board is dying!!!! yikes. hope this helps.

Are you looking for an automatic fill waterer or manual fill? You might be able to plug into your house if it has a gfi plug. This waterer does take planning and time to install, it took my husband and I about 5 days to install and ready for use. I have no complaints about mine. I hope this helps!

The reservoir WAS difficult to install so I've left it in place and fill it with the pull out hose of the kitchen faucet. I've found this unit to be OK for a cheap thermal coffee pot (it only cost $42.), but it does have problems I had to overcome. The first time I filled it to the maximum line -- there was coffee all over the counter. The reservoir is larger than the pot capacity. I put a Sharpee mark on the fill indicator where I found the maximum to be. It is difficult to see the water in the indicator until the pot is turned on and activates the light. I now start the fill process and immediately hit the "on" button. The reservoir WAS difficult to install so I've left it in place and fill it with the pull out hose of the kitchen faucet.

There is a waterline that runs to the tank of your toilet. You simply hook a splitter into that and the hot water is optional. This is located under your sink if you want to use it.

Hello,You would hook up a hot and cold water supply like you would for a regular shower as this functions as an everyday shower. Thanks.

there are a hot and cold line that come out of the base. They are labeled. I had to get extension lines for mine to reach my existing water lines.

It requires work to install as I recall, we did a full reconstruct of bathroom and so it required all the accessories and installation. If you have a heater for the water, there is apparently some problem associated with getting the proper connection to your electric box.

Hi Dr. Campagna. This device is very easy to install, basically just threading the unit onto the feeder pipe, assuming that the pipe is a standard diameter. The unit works very well, no leaks at all.

this has hot and cold flex lines that go thru the wall to hook up like a washing machine. If you cut your water lines and attach male threaded fittings you just screw the flex lines onto those. You can feed the flexlines thru the hole where your existing fixture is.

It would depend on wether you can screw it on to your faucet head, or wether there is an adapter you can buy to install on it. The other thing you could install isa recirc. pump, so that your hot water is basically instant. I have been to lazy to do this and they cost about 300.00 plus install. If I was smart enough that is what I would do. The purpose that they serve is that you turn on the water and walk away, and then once the water reaches a certain temp, it shuts the water off till you come back to use it.

The pump gets installed on the output pipe of your hot water heater. The comfort valve get's installed at a sink that is furthest away from your hot water heater. I have my valve installed under a sink in the master bathroom. The pump will then pump hot water through the system and will return via the cold water pipe under the sink where you install the valve. Since your hot water heater is fed from the cold supply, the pressure of water is constant flowing from the hot back to the cold. You will notice that your cold water will be warmer than normal since it will be mixed with the hot water. But the comfort valve is a one way valve so cold water should not feed back into your hot water side. Take the two water feeds from under your sink and remove the ends from the faucet and attach to the sides of the comfort valve. Then take the two new pipes that came with the valve and attach to the top of the valve and the other ends to the faucets. For Newer homes these pipes should work fine. Older plumbing might need some different size fittings.

No, it is not easy to install if you are not a plumber or at least have a lot of plumbing experience. I had it installed in my basement by a professional. Two plumbers worked on it and it took three hours. The copper water lines come in at the ceiling of the basement, so they needed to install additional copper pipe down to the floor, then braze on fittings to fit the Aquasana, then more pipe back up to join the existing line in the ceiling. They also discovered that my water pressure regulator was shot (20 years old) and replaced that, but I'm not including that in the three hours.

Hi, yest it's both for hot an cold. Note that the install is not standard as it has european fittings and will need an adapter to go from the faucet and couple to the feed hoses. It's also very heavry so needs to be mounted to a very solid sink.

Hi,I use mine in a summer home. I plumbed it with stainless flex lines, they fit right on the unit's hot and cold connections. Come fall I shut the power off, shut water lines off and unscrew (hand tightened) the flex lines, lift the unit up off the hook bracket and tip it upside down to drain. Even with two and a half gallon (~20lbs) of water it's not hard. I tip it a couple of different ways and that's it until spring.I did plumb in a pressure sensor in the inlet line that controls the 110v to the unit to prevent the heater from burning out if there is a loss of water pressure.
