Non-electric Bidet

This Non-Electric bidet seat is able to be easily installed  by most home owners themselves, but additionally; because the outlet of its in-built vacuum breaker exceeds regulation measurement above the rim of the toilet pan; plumbers can also confidently install this product – secure in the knowledge that there will be no legal requirement to protect water supply with expensive, reduced pressure zone valves (together with the ongoing maintenance costs).

Please be aware that except for approved Electronic Bidet Seats; almost all other bidets with an outlet which can be in any position less than 25mm above the rim of the toilet pan will not comply with current back-flow protection regulations of Australia & New Zealand. While obviously better than nothing; simply including a mini dual check valve does not make  the installation compliant with current regulations. Please see our Backflow Prevention page for more detailed information.

This bidet seat departs from more conventional spray outlet designs found on most electronic bidets in that it has just one rather large hole to deliver the water stream. A small hole underneath adds air bubbles to the water stream in varying amounts depending on flow.  Opening the operating valve slightly extends the nozzle and starts the washing process.  Opening the valve fully results in a  stronger flow with increased aeration of the water stream and consequent widening of the spray pattern. This in turn cleans the peripheral area  very well indeed. Also equally useful for feminine cleaning with women (just move your body back slightly). A reassuring hygiene feature with this bidet seat is that it does wash the nozzle very thoroughly; before and after every use.

With no control panels at the side to get in the way of larger behinds; the operating  valve on this bidet is an efficient needle-and-seat type sealing mechanism, and can be easily operated with just two fingers of your right hand. Additional to the standard Bidet Seat Kit as supplied by Toto; LuSan Bidets include a 1/4 turn isolating tap with non-return check valve and a 450mm flexible supply line for easy connection to the wall tap. The isolating tap is handy for easily shutting off the bidet without closing water supply to the toilet cistern – for instance when curious children are around.  This tap does  also provide additional back flow protection because of its in-built filter and non-return check valve.

Toto’s slogan of “Perfection by Design” may well apply for the Japanese bottoms which prompted the original design, but it is not so true for many larger framed Westerners. LuSan Bidets make two relatively simple changes to this bidet seat before sale, making  it more suited to Australian use. We  alter the angle of the spray nozzle so it hits the target correctly for most average  Aussies (about 25mm  further forward). Without this slight difference in delivery angle, most larger people would need to sit right back against the lid of this bidet in order for the spray to correctly hit the right spot. We also employ a minor change to take up free-play in the seat hinges. Because Australian toilet pans are a slightly different shape to those used overseas; excessive  free-play in the seat hinges means that the front bumper rubbers could possibly slip off either side of the toilet pan. Without these minor but important modifications, this toilet seat bidet would be less than perfect for use on most normal Australian toilets.

While this Toto Bidet Seat does provide excellent all-around-cleaning functionality, if you are a fairly heavy person you may wish to consider the Aisin  Electronic or Non-Electric models.

Because of Caroma’s obsession (in recent times) for making toilet pans with thinner rims; the Toto front bumper rubbers (push-in-type) are often contacting the top of the toilet pan for only 1/3 of their surface area. This often means that the front bumper rubbers will eventually disintegrate under this concentrated pressure (this also applies to many other toilet seats – not just Toto Eco Washers). While we can provide replacement rubbers for Totos, if you are a very heavy individual or have one of the modern Caroma pans with a thin (and rounded top) rim, you may want to consider one of the Aisin models – which not only have very solid (molded) rubber bumpers, but also a slightly larger & much stronger seat.

Another benefit with the Aisin seats is that they can be easily removed (for better toilet cleaning) by simply pushing a button and sliding the whole seat forward.

Differences in washing between the Toto & Aisin models:

The Toto provides a high volume, fairly wide, aerated stream of water which does give very good (general) anal area cleaning. With adequate water pressure this can effect some internal cleaning to the first 20mm or so of the anal passage, however it is not intended to provide any really effective enema function, and if used for vaginal cleaning does require that the user move their body back further on the seat. A unique feature among hydraulically operated nozzles; this model does clean its own spray nozzle very well, both before and after every use.

The Aisin models provide a lower volume stream of water (not aerated) but that is more concentrated. Providing that incoming water pressure is at least 350kPa; this is able to administer a very effective enema function – cleaning inside the first 20-40mm of the anal passage. Not opening the operating valve  fully will also give a more gentle stream that does clean the peripheral area fairly well (but not as good as the Toto). One pretty obvious additional benefit with the Aisin models: the angle of the water stream can be easily changed during use – by simply sliding the operating handle forward or back. This gives the added bonus of vaginal cleaning for women (without needing to change your body position on the seat). Please see the Electronic Bidet page for more details on this model.

Everything needed is supplied in the kits and installation usually takes less than 20 minutes. The only tools normally required are a Phillips-head screwdriver, a 10” shifting spanner and a pair of multi-grip pliers. Your existing pipe from the wall tap to the cistern tank is simply replaced with the complete assembly shown. Very little mechanical knowledge is required as these parts come already sealed and pre-assembled. Supplied with easy to follow, step-by-step installation instructions with clear explanatory photos, these products come with the complete assurance of a full 12 month warranty on all materials and manufacture.
