Paper alone
You know the word for it. Paper does nothing about it.
If you have ever stood up from a long sit and felt it, you know the word for it, and you know paper does nothing about it.
![A man in a light blue shirt, seen from behind, standing up from his desk chair on a hot afternoon, a fan and a glass of iced water on the desk]()
The long sit. You stand up, and you feel it.
![A hand pulling a long ribbon of toilet paper off the roll, already wound into a thick wad around the fingers]()
Wipe, and wipe, and wipe. Paper moves things around and leaves crumbs behind.
![An empty cardboard tube on the roll holder beside a toilet, a new multi-pack of toilet rolls on the floor]()
The last roll, again. Restock the paper, or get a sprayer.
Then, halfway through the afternoon, the thought: am I clean? Water ends all three. A quick rinse with cold water, then a couple of squares to pat dry.
If you have wanted a bidet for ages and the plumbing is what stopped you, you are not alone. Under the install videos, people say the same thing:
Handyman was charging me $400 to install four bidet sprayers.
I called my plumber to see how much he would charge ... he said 85.00.
I bought 4 toilet bidet and it’s been 6 months sitting in my house because I don’t know how to install.
And under the same videos, from people who then did it:
never thought it is that simple to install a bidet.
A handheld sprayer is not a plumbing job. It is one valve and one hose on the line that already fills your toilet tank.
Here is our difference
One valve, one hose, your own line.
![The T-valve fitted under the tank, the supply line into its bottom and the coiled hose from its side]()
It runs off your tank’s own line.
One small T-valve splits the cold water two ways: to the tank as before, and to the sprayer.
![The sprayer head close up: the round nozzle face and the trigger lever]()
A light press is plenty.
The trigger sits under your finger. The water is cold, straight from the tank’s line, so start light.
![The holder on its adhesive plate pressed flat onto white tile]()
Pressed on, not drilled.
The holder’s adhesive plate goes onto tile or a painted wall, beside the tank, where your hand finds it.
![The small lever on the T-valve under the tank]()
A lever for the sprayer side.
The small lever on the T-valve opens and shuts the sprayer side. Shut it when you are done.
Four parts, and no plumber required
Four parts: the sprayer, a coiled hose, a T-valve and a wall holder with an adhesive plate.
The T-valve goes where the supply hose meets the bottom of your tank. It splits the cold water two ways: to the tank as before, and to the sprayer. Nothing is cut or drilled for the valve. No heater, nothing to plug in.
The whole job, start to finish
1
Water off, then flush. Turn the small valve on the wall behind the toilet all the way off. Flush once to empty the tank. Put a towel on the floor under the tank.
2
Unscrew the supply hose where it meets the bottom of the tank. A little water will drip out. That is what the towel is for.
3
Fit the T-valve and the hose. Screw the T-valve’s top nut onto the tank inlet, and the supply hose onto the bottom of the T-valve. Then the coiled hose onto the side port, and the sprayer onto the end of the hose.
4
Holder up, water on, check. Press the holder’s adhesive plate onto tile or a painted wall beside the tank. Turn the wall valve back on, slowly. Let the tank fill, and check every joint for drips.
The step-by-step install card with drawings shows each step. It lands in your inbox the day your order ships, so you have read it before the box arrives.
The install card, in photos
Four steps. One towel.
![A hand turning the small shut-off valve on the wall behind the toilet, a folded towel on the floor]()
1Water off, then flush
Turn the small valve on the wall behind the toilet all the way off. Flush once. Towel down.
![A hand unscrewing the supply hose from the bottom of the tank, a few drops falling onto the towel]()
2Unscrew the supply hose
Where it meets the bottom of the tank. A little water drips out. That is what the towel is for.
![Two hands screwing the chrome T-valve onto the tank inlet by hand]()
3Fit the T-valve and the hose
T-valve onto the tank, supply hose onto its bottom, coiled hose onto its side. Hand-tight first.
![A hand pressing the holder plate flat onto white tile beside the tank]()
4Holder up, water on, check
Press the holder on. Turn the water back on slowly and check every joint for drips.
A wrench comes out only if a joint weeps, and then only a quarter turn. Check every joint again after a week.
The parts of the job nobody films
The videos make it look like one take. Here is what they skip.
The wall valve has to turn off. If yours has not been touched in years, try it before the box arrives.
Every joint goes on hand-tight first. A wrench comes out only if a joint weeps, and then only a quarter turn. Thread tape is not in the box, and it is up to you.
Look inside each nut before it goes on. Check each washer sits flat, not folded or crooked.
If a thread will not start turning with your fingers, stop and email us. Never force it.
Anything hand-tight can loosen over time. Check every joint after the first day, and again after a week.
The water is cold. It is the same water that fills your tank, so start with a light press.
Check your toilet first
A toilet without a tank, the kind with a lever on a metal pipe, is not a match. Neither is a toilet with no supply hose coming from the wall. And if you want warm water, this kit runs cold, from the tank’s own line.

What it costs next to a plumber’s visit
The Fresh Basin kit is $49.99: the sprayer, the hose, the T-valve, the holder and the step-by-step install card with drawings. Two bathrooms are $79.99. A plumber’s visit to fit one can cost more than the kit.

Three questions people ask before they fit one
Will it leak?
A hand-tight joint can loosen over time. Check each one after the first day and after a week, and give it a quarter turn if it weeps. A joint that will not stop dripping is covered by the 60-day test.
Is the water cold?
Yes. It is the same cold water that fills your tank, with no heater. A light press is plenty to start.
Will it fit my toilet?
It is made for a toilet with a tank and a supply hose from the wall. Every thread on the T-valve is G1/2, as listed by the maker. Each joint should start turning with your fingers; if one will not, stop and email us before you force anything. If it does not suit your bathroom, the 60-day test covers it.
In their words
What people say about paper, plumbers and the switch.
“Handyman was charging me $400 to install four bidet sprayers.”
“I’m not a fan of having pieces of TP stuck to my bottom after wiping.”
“I bought 4 toilet bidet and it’s been 6 months sitting in my house because I don’t know how to install.”
“I was putting off installing this for the longest time.”
“I’ve been worried about running out of toilet paper ... this could be a great solution.”
“You still need toilet paper. Trust me. Less of it, usually, but still necessary.”
“It’s so nice patting my bum dry with a couple of squares of toilet paper instead of wiping and wiping and wiping.”
“Omg...never thought it is that simple to install a bidet.”
“I go through toilet paper way slower since it is more for drying.”
“Installed mine last week. Took 20 easy minutes.”
“Literally installed bidets in 3 bathrooms in 20 minutes thanks to this video”
“I was able to install 2 of them in my home because of this video.”
