3. WHAT IS BIDET…?
Bidet is a plumbing fixture that was made
popular in Europe.
The bidet cleanses the user after using the
toilet.
Instead of toilet paper, bidets use a stream of
water to clean you after using the restroom.
4. History of the Bidet
As history has progressed, the bidet has seen
numerous technological advances, and many
different types of bidet models have emerged over
time.
The bidet was originally invented back in the 1700s.
These bidets, when they were first developed, were
completed using porcelain and they had high costs
associated with them.
Because these bidet fixtures were not a part of the
toilet, the bathroom required additional room in
order to fit a second fixture, and bidets are nearly as
large as traditional toilets
5. In the past, only high class families could own
bidet systems, but this is rapidly changing.
Modern bidet seating, especially those that
attach directly to a traditional toilet is now
coming down in price despite improving in terms
of performance.
So the newer, modern and high-performance
types of attachable bidets are cost-effective
while offering a wide variety of additional
features and benefits that rely on electricity to
deliver heat, warm water and a more
comfortable experience.
9. A. REGULAR: Approx. 15-11/32" (390mm)
ELONGATED: Approx. 16-17/32" (420mm)
(HandicappedToilets may measure over 17", but
the elongated IntiMist will fit fine - you may see a
little of the bowl showing under the seat)
B. Minimum 1-3/16" (30mm) - must be a flat area
(not curved)
11. For health reasons, we can't take the IntiMist back
after the box has been opened. Please check the
dimensions carefully.
The IntiMist must be located within 3 feet of a
110VAC 60 cycle US style AC power receptacle. It
uses a maximum of 550 watts.
Included a plug-in AC surge protector to help protect
the sophisticated electronics from electrical surges.
14. The IntiMist needs to sit on a flat surface
which must extend all.
the way to the left and right of the seat bolt
holes, and both 1 3/16" behind the bolt holes
and all the way in-front of the bolt holes.
A toilet like this just won't work with a bidet
that replaces the toilet seat.
16. Have 4 types :
1. Over-the-Rim
2. Heated Rim (Flushing Rim)
3. Spray Model (Horizontal orVertical Spray)
4. Combination
17. Over-the-Rim
This model is fitted with a standard facet.
The bidet bowl is filled exactly the same way
that you fill a sink.
This version is the simplest type to install.
This model features a rimless bowl, which
makes it easy to clean.
18. Heated Rim (Flushing Rim)
The second type of bidet is the heated rim
(flushing rim), which has hot/cold handles on
the top.
The water enters the bowl below the rim of
the basin.
19. Spray Model (Horizontal or
Vertical Spray)
The third version is the spray model.
This one is popular because it provides a
gentle shower.
You can choose from two types of spray
including the horizontal spray, which delivers
a horizontal stream of water, or the vertical
spray.
The later consists of a foundation jet situated
in the center of the bowl.
20. One thing that a consumer needs to know when
buying a spray bidet is that there is a risk of water
contamination from the back siphonage that is
created by spray fittings.
If you are buying a spray bidet, make sure that it is
installed complete with a back-flow prevention
device.
Don't try to install this yourself. Get a professional
plumber to do it.
21. Combination
The fourth type of bidet is the combination
model that features both the vertical spray
option and a heated rim.
22. Three Different Types of
Bidets
The Original Porcelain Bidet
The Electric Bidet
The Non-Electric Bidet
USPA bidets
Travel Bidets
23. The Original Porcelain Bidet
The bidet was invented in the 1700.
The first type of bidet that existed was the bidet that
was separate from your toilet.
These bidets were usually made out of porcelain and
were very expensive.
They were not attached to the toilet so a lot of room
was needed.
Since it was separate from the toilet once the person
was done going to the bathroom they would have to
get up and use the bidet which was next to it.This
type of bidet was the first bidet to exist
24. The Electric Bidet
Emerged in the 60's.
This bidet did not require much room as it
was attached to your toilet.
This type of bidet was called the electric
bidet. It hooked up to your toilet and could be
used without having to get up.
This bidet gained popularity in the 60s as
indoor plumbing improved.
25. It became more mainstream to have the
bidet all over the world in Europe and Japan.
Since it was made out of plastic usually, it is
much cheaper then the earlier versions of the
bidet and is found in more houses.
The only downside is that it requires
electricity to use.
26. The Non-Electric Bidet
As bidets grew in popularity, so did the
different kinds.
It does not require any electricity or battery
for its operation.You can choose to adjust the
water stream according to your
requirements.
It can either be a toilet seat or attach in
between the toilet and the seat.
This type of bidet gained a lot of popularity in
the Middle East since it is very cheap.
27. The non-electric bidet can come with either
cold water or hot water depending on where
you hook it up to.
Since it does not use electricity it will use the
piping of the bathroom.
28. USPA bidets
It is amongst the modernized models that
come with quality aesthetics.
They come with remote operation and are
very useful for patients with constipation and
hemorrhoids.
29. Travel Bidets
These are the compact models that have the
ease of carrying and can be used in
conjunction with public restrooms to prevent
urinary tract infections.
They come with soft push button and warm
washing facilities.
31. How to Use a Bidet for Women
1. Turn the nozzles of the bidet's faucets to create
a gentle stream of water at a desirable
temperature.The water will emanate from the
bottom center.
2. Hover over the seat and get comfortable.You
can sit all the way down on most modern
bidets, or you can continue to hover during use.
3. Sit or hover over the bidet for about two
minutes, so the water stream can adequately
clean your private areas
32. 4. Turn off the faucets of the bidet.
5. Wipe yourself with a sanitary wipe to dry
and further cleanse your vaginal, perineum
and anal areas.
35. ADVANTAGES TO HAVING A BIDET
The most important advantage to having a
bidet is that it is much more hygienic than
using toilet paper alone.
Bidets can save money in the long run from
all the toilet paper that can be saved.
36. INSTALLATION
Some bidets are designed with seats, just like a
toilet.The controls for the spray are either on
the front, side or the rear of the unit.
Might consider installing a mounted wall grab-
bar to assist the user in getting up and down.
Consider which option you would like best.
37. A bidet with a wide, rounded ledge will
provide the most comfortable seat, especially
for a large person.
When installing it, or having it installed, make
sure that you leave ample room at the sides
for your legs and room at the back for your
knees.
It is suggested, at least for some models, that
you leave a gap of at least four inches
between the wall and the back of the bidet.
