A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

You should be able to just slap a t-valve on the existing water line. The bidet I’ve got came with all that.
I considered that, but the water that comes out of our well is ice cold. Not the most pleasant of sensations to grace your sensitive bits.
I'd ideally like to get one of the electronic ones that can regulate temperature and has a few different modes. But I don't currently have an electrical outlet anywhere close to the toilets, and rewiring the bathroom isn't high on the budget priority at the moment.
Honestly the cold water is not an issue. I was concerned about it when we installed ours but even the first time I used it I was like, “Oh that’s fine what was I worried about.”
I’m obviously not the butthole police but in my opinion/experience cold water should not be a deal breaker.
I got one of the electric ones for my main bathroom, and I also did not have a plug anywhere nearby, but there was a light switch nearby, and I found a replacement switch that turns a light switch into a light switch and plug outlet that also had GFCI included in it.
Heated bidets do not draw a whole lot of power, so I didn't have to worry about overloading the circuit or anything.
I “upgraded” to a heated bidet and now never use the heated water. It’s way too hot 😂
I was concerned about that too, but I finally went ahead and got one, and it's really not bad. With how briefly the water is in contact, it just hasn't been an issue. We have fridge temp cold water from our tap as well.
We got a Rinseworks 360 hand bidet, and after trying it for a while I got another one. Definitely reccomend it.
