"and my husband installed it, I stood in the hall and informed him that I would still be using toilet paper thank you very much. It also has been helpful to those of us who have hemorrhoids (THANKS CHILDBIRTH) because it is a bit gentle and less abrasive than toilet paper tends to be. We haven't bought toilet paper since we bought it (March, so, 4 months) and I haven't missed it a bit. As for the bidet itself, it is easy peasy to install (according to my husband; I wouldn't know because I was having a toilet paper protest in the hall at the time of its installation) and simple to clean for the most part...the back (where it attaches to the toilet) is a bit more difficult to clean than your average, sad, greatly lacking, bidet-less toilet, but nothing major at all. with the bidet installed, we discovered (after the recommended 'bumper kits' kept shifting and falling off, that PLASTIC DOMED DOOR STOPPERS work AMAZING for propping the seat up."
"Installation was relatively quick and easy (despite almost taking off the turn-off valve before turning off the house water supply). Ended up having to replace our solid metal water-valve connector with a $6 braided one from the local hardware store. This was purchased in an effort to reduce toilet paper usage and improve cleanliness standards. I kid you not, over a dozen independent people (friends/family) have ultimately said "I don't want a robot to spray my ass with water"."

"Yes, everything (except the hose for the handheld) in this shower head combo is made of plastic, but its hardened composite plastic and is among the sturdiest I've found for shower heads in this price range, easily comparable to the MOEN I used to own (which cost more). If you have good to great water pressure I suggest you remove the flow control piece from ONLY the handheld unit and leave it in the fixed shower head. I have good water pressure and found that the fixed head put out TOO STRONG water pressure with the flow control removed. Without the flow control being left in the fixed head, when you engage both you get a stronger flow out of the fixed head and a mediocre to weak flow out of the handheld. I found the fixed head put out TOO MUCH pressure without it's flow control valve, but again this all depends on your individual water pressure and your own individual feelings on how much is too much water pressure... so as they say "your results may vary". You've got your standard high rain flow (normal shower stuff), a lower flow for those with high water pressure or are eco-conscious (not for me), the massage function (recommend you engage only one shower head to use this mode for maximum pressure output), the aforementioned pause mode (kind of useless in my opinion, if I want to pause I'll just shut off the water), and a really cool mist mode that even puts out a bit of a breeze when it's engaged (this mode will be GREAT for use during cold and cough season). Both the handheld and the fixed head offer all these modes, although I found the switch on the fixed head hard to move without rotating the entire head."
"Whether you'd like one head or two to spray, one high and one low, different spray settings on each, everything is adjustable."
"Both heads allow you to easily change the water setting, and a distinct click lets you know when you're right on that setting's maximum flow. If you don't have high water pressure where you live, you'll need to remove the water flow restrictors. In the main head, the ring is a bit far inside the threads that screw onto the shower set's main pipe."
What also makes the LumiLux toilet light so advanced is the light detection sensor that will make sure the toilet light does not come during daytime or while the bathroom light is on. 16 LED COLORS - You can choose a fixed color to fit your mood or choose carousel mode which will cycle seamlessly through every shade of color inside your toilet bowl when activated. 5 STAGE DIMMER - Make your toilet bowl nightlight glow as dark or bright as you want by selecting from up to 5 different levels of brightness.

"I originally got one for my 86 year old father who makes frequent night trips to the bathroom. No more him having to turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night. And the light is definitely sufficient to give enough light for the entire bathroom."
"Our bathroom is large and there are no outlets near the toilet so our children got scared to use the bathroom at night. Now, they are super excited to use the bathroom and love that it turns on as soon as they reach the hallway."
"To me it is a safety product as falling off a toilet seat when you are half awake can cause serious damage to your shoulder or hip at older ages."
"The best toilet light you can by.. it's worth paying the extra 1 or 2 dollars to go with a lumilux....the motion sensor works great unlike the other ones I have purchased in the past."
"BEST INVENTION EVER!"
"Update: Ok so I'm updating my review to reflect how awesome their customer service is. New batteries I supplied would no longer power up its light show which we now miss. So they sent me a new product + issued a refund."
"We have to put ours on the front due to how the toilet faces the door, and the lid keeps it slightly dangling. It hasn't been a problem, nor has it ever fallen off or anything, but I'm interested in its grip and whether or not I'll try to make the bendy part longer."

It's better said that you WILL need plumber's putty, and if you have a stainless steel sink, you have the option to use the thin rubber gasket (I'd use plumber's putty)."
"Update: As an aside, I also learned from my research that the best way to clean my disposal is to use citric acid. Having previously had no idea what citric acid was used for, I decided to order some from Amazon, going with the brand my sister uses: Citric Acid Powder - Ultra Fine Pure Powdered Crystals - Natural Preservative Food Grade Quality (16 oz) and gave it a whirl after 3 months of using my disposal. I let the citric acid sit with some water in the disposal for about ten minutes, and then I let it run for a solid 2 minutes."
"The immediate issues I have with this product is the plastic connections and the sound of the motor. This is the first disposal that has had plastic connecting the disposal to the sink."
"I installed the EZMount L-8000, replacing an Insinkerator 3-mount. Just removed the old mount and replaced the whole new unit."
"All I needed to do was to install the new fitting for the sink and take apart the p-trap to make it slide over the outlet tube (I needed to trim that tube to the same length as the one from the Badger)."

"New laundry tub is great was replacing an older one with this single bowl tub came with legs and leveler feet for the bottom of the legs you supply your own faucet and p-trap as well as supply lines."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Results: faucet tap= 328ppm. aquafina bottle water= 2ppm. kirkland (Sam's Club bottle water) = 20ppm. and the apec water = 25ppm."
"I was impressed upon opening it as the main filter housing unit seemed very high quality and heavy. You can push the lever down and hold it if you just need to fill a glass or you can flip it up until it locks and and it will continually dispense until you turn it off. Some of these faucets require a 1 1/2" hole, and that would concern me because I have a synthetic granite/composite sink that it tough as nails to drill into. TIP: Once you locate where you want the faucet mounted, get a thin piece of wood (such as a shim) and drill a 1/2" hole in it. In my case, it took me a good ten minutes to drill through my sink (probably a 1/4" thickness) and the bit was completely useless once I got through the surface. Once the hole is drilled to your liking, follow the illustration for assembling the hardware for the faucet and mount it. I have a 2200 square foot ranch that was built in the eighties with that nasty, defective polybutelene plumbing and, after a ruined master bath and another close call in the kitchen after owning the house for just 6 months, I had my plumber completely re-pipe to the tune of 5K. If you decide to do this, the only one you won't be able to use one on is the yellow line that goes from the RO unit to the tank (because it has a crimped-on special two-way valve). One word of caution though- if you do this be very careful and mindful that you are screwing a metal compression connector onto plastic threads on the unit. My advice, in hindsight, is to determine where you're going to want the unit and place it there prior to beginning the install. It took me longer than it probably would have taken most people, but I have a unique kitchen sink with funky plumbing (couldn't use 1/2" adapter included to feed system from faucet bottom, instead had to convert down to 3/8" and run from cold water valve)."
"We already had a separate "beverage faucet" (with simple inline carbon filter) mounted on our sink so it was pretty much plug and play. I'm using a Watts Premier 560087 as the 5th stage filter (last is the carbon filter) in our APEC ROES-50. Never had acid reflux before with our inline filtered water used to brew coffee. P.S - I know APEC makes a remineralizing/pH filter, but the Watts filter contains additional minerals such as magnesium and potassium, whereas the APEC filter is just calcium. It installs in between the tank and the tee, vs the 1-way "final filter" of the APEC (probably why it doesn't raise the pH that much - water passes through it too quickly). The tee just replaces the 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 existing tee on the RO system For the 3/8" final filter, I really like the Hydronix filters, I used B00D04BYIK (again, search on Amazon), but any 3/8 inline carbon filter will do."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I finally had to replace one (the older design) because it repeatedly started having issues. First it started running, which was easily fixed with a cap flushing, but then water stopped flowing to the fill tube. The clog was down in the fill valve below the cap and did not stay fixed with a flushing, so I just decided to replace it. It is open ended just with hooks). My one toilet has a flapper with the timing cup on top of it and it's own drain seat insert that it's attached to (555CRP8, also made by Fluidmaster, 555C is the newest version) because the fill tube is too far from the drain and a standard offset on the flapper, as this has, wouldn't center and seal properly. The other toilet still has a firm gray one with a notched plastic "chain" that I installed separately years ago too."
"I had no idea this would be so easy, or would have tried it ages ago, instead of continuing to replace parts on those old ball-type floats that wear out so fast!"
"All due to a leaky toilet, the fill valve and/or the flapper was the problem."
"There was a defect in the plastic molding process leaving one of the clips only partially formed."
"Not as universal as you might think, but with minor mods to the flapper, I was able to make this work."
"Following the instructions, I was able to remove the old flapper (which was rock solid) and valve and replace it with the Fluidmaster in 30 minutes."
"Float doesn't float up with enough force to shut off valve."
"I guess I will go to a big box store and purchase another one to fix the leaking fill valve."

"Read and then reread the online instructions, make sure you understand them and you will be able to repair and adjust the TODO commode quickly and easily."
"It looks like this Korky 2021 flapper is the one that fits our Toto MS854114SL-01 toilet (CST 854SL in the tank). The original Toto flapper had either somehow shrunk or decayed over the years and would occasionally edge off the end of the valve and let water trickle out until it had to re-fill."
"Great replacement for my Toto flapper."
"This part works as expected and is FAR better than the OEM part that came with my Toto toilet."
"Plumber installed this in my Toto toilet and it works fine."
"Be sure that the attachment point to the flapper ball is in the same spot on the new ball, as it was on the old one. Some flapper balls have the attachment hole closer to the raising edge, as opposed to the center of the flapper ball; If that is true, you may consider shortening the chain by a couple links. But once you have determined the correct length, remove the assembly and then pull off the extra links with a needle nose plier, or stretch the closest unneeded link with two small screwdrivers as lever action, and pull off the extra section."
"The top of the flapper, where the chain attaches, is the same soft rubber as the rest of the item."
