Handheld bidet sprayers in Australia

Call it a bidet sprayer, a handy bidet, a toilet hose. It is a tap on a trigger. In some households it is a perfectly decent wash. In others it is how the skirting board learned about faecal matter.

This is the honest sprayer page. If you want furniture, buy a seat.

What it does well

You can see where the water goes. You can wash the pan. You can take it to a laundry toilet. You can spend attachment money instead of washlet money. Cost is the appeal.

Able-bodied people who already think like plumbers sometimes prefer it.

What it does badly

Aim. Storage. Splash. Dignity when someone else has to hold the hose. Disability and older Australians should treat this as a last resort.

It also does backflow badly when the hose can lie in the bowl. That is not a theoretical cartoon. It is the reason certified seats exist.

Installation is still a trade

A tee on the cistern inlet is plumbing. Do you need a plumber applies. Renters should not treat a sprayer as invisible.

If the alternative is an attachment or a seat, compare splash to the look of an extra plastic bar under the lid. Many people find they wanted a seat by week three.

How to use one without redecorating

Low pressure. Sit. Keep the hose nozzle above the rim when you are done. Do not let children treat it as a toy. Dry the wall. Then ask yourself whether you have just described a worse version of first-time seat use.

The buying guides hub will still be there when you upgrade.
