How to Install a Bidet

How to install a bidet toilet seat

Bidets are great because they allow you to use less toilet paper and they help you feel fresh and clean after you "do your business".

They are also great for seniors and people with mobility issues as it allows you to clean yourself better than just using toilet paper.

The bidet has been around forever. It appears to have been an invention of French furniture makers back in the 1700’s.

Fun fact: Bidet" is a French loanword meaning "little horse" due to the straddling position adopted in its usage.

The bidet has made a comeback in recent years. They tend to be pretty common in Europe and Asia but now North Americans are catching on to this handy bathroom device.

What Makes Clear Rear so Great?

Clear Rear gives you all the benefits of a bidet, like convenience and hygiene without having to buy and install an expensive new appliance. 

I literally installed and had my bidet up and running in less than an hour. 

Users can control the pressure of the water stream and the angle of the spray- plus it has a self cleaning nozzle feature to keep things clean between users.

Once you experience the freshness and cleanliness that comes from using a bidet you’ll wonder why it took you so long to get one! 

Can you add a bidet to a regular toilet?

Yes you can add a bidet to a regular toilet! It’s not very difficult to install. I spent about an half hour installing a bidet attachment onto our toilet. There are just a few hoses that you need to hook up to your existing toilet plumbing.

Do you need a plumber to install a bidet?

No, as long as you know how to shut the water supply to your toilet off and you have a wrench and a screw driver you can do it yourself. Of course if you don’t feel comfortable installing it you can hire someone, but this is not a difficult project at all. Watch the video below to see how I installed it completely by myself and follow the steps in the tutorial after.

How much does it cost to install a bidet?

If you do it yourself the installation is obviously free, you just have to purchase the bidet which costs about $50. If you were to hire a plumber it would probably be a minimum of $150 for less than an hour’s work.
