Questions and Answers for BIO BIDET BB-1000 Supreme Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilets in White

A:  Hello, The users have spoken! Yes this is a bidet attachment and can be mounted onto MOST commodes. For a full list of supported commodes I have attached a link for you to check for your commode. Link: https://biobidet.com/pages/toilet-types-sizes Thank you, Customer Support Team

A:  It is attached to the toilet with hardware that comes with the unit. It is similar to install a seat cover. It can be easily remove with a push of a side button. It is necessary and useful for routine cleaning.

A:  It bolts onto toilet bowl using the same bolt holes as a regular seat. It simply replaces your regular seat.

A:  it bolts to the toilet just like a regular seat.

A:  You’ll need to remove the existing toilet ring and the lid, then secure this bidet on top of the toilet using the hardware provided in the package.

A:  Sorry, I am not sure if the water jets will reach their intended positions if you put a raised toilet seat over the BioBidet seat. Best is to contact the dealer via their website, under the Contact tab. They usually answer fairly promptly. I like my BioBidet toilet seat and is now on my second one after 15+ years of usage from my first one. My best wishes on your knee replacement procedure.

A:  You shouldn’t put anything on top of this seat. It’s actually molded and not like a regular flat seat. By placing anything on top of it you risk damaging it. I highly recommend you try to raise your toilet itself or see if you can place the riser under the seat but NOT on top. I’ve had mine for 1 1/2 years now I just love it and will NEVER go back to anything other. I too purchased mine due to surgery but for me it was because I had double carpal tunnel surgery.

A:  The stream is pretty powerful, plus there is a vortex stream that is very powerful. I love my bio bidet.

A:  You can not add a seat riser to the bidet. Our recommendation would be to lift your toilet or purchase a comfort height toilet.

A:  We do not recommend sitting on the lid as it could damage it.

A:  No, will not hold your weight

A:  No, you cannot sit on the closed lid. It is only thin ABS plastic.

A:  No, cannot sit on lid

A:  Lid is way to light to sit on.

A:  It is too thin to sit and will break. Not recommended.

A:  No you cant sit on the lid

A:  I guess it depends on the weight. I am 180 lbs., and have sat on it a few times, with no problems. Just a thought, because the lid has no real association with the operation of the seat, it could be easily replaced in case of breakage. They are the greatest, don't want to think of the process without it. Old Joe

A:  The lid is roughly 1/8" plastic that would at best support a toddler.

A:  The bidet seat itself requires electricity to operate the water jet and heated seat. A nearby Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet is required.

A:  The seat is powered by electricity and therefore requires a nearby gfci outlet.

A:  The bidet seat itself requires electricity to operate the water jet and heated seat. A nearby Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet is required.

A:  I didn't see the ad but maybe the adman is referring to manufacture of tissue paper. Use of paper is drastically reduced.

A:  This lid uses electricity for hearing the seat and blow drying.

A:  Toilet paper requires a lot of resource to produce. Electricity is one of the "resources" needed from manufacturing, packaging, delivering to disposing at the sewer plant. The other resources can be packaging material, gasoline in delivering, ink in printing or labeling the package....etc.

A:  no nightlight

A:  No, there is no night light with this unit. There are however various very small colored lights on the control unit

A:  They BB-1000 does NOT have a night light

A:  It does not has a night light.

A:  For the BB-1000 there is no night light. It does have soft close lid and seat, heater seat and water, plus warm air dryer.

A:  No, the seat does not have a night light.

A:  There isn't an included nightlight feature. We installed a GFCI controlled Lutron outlet with built in nightlight adjacent to our toilet for lighting

A:  No night light

A:  No, there isn’t a built in night light

A:  There is no night light with this model

A:  We would recommend that you use your bidet in eco mode, this will then save on electricity. The heated seat and water stream will then only heat up once you activate the bidet.

A:  Just plug it into a GFI and control the power to the GFI however you want.

A:  It is totally adjustable for heat and settings. I never use the heated seat and as far as the heated water it would take a little while to heat up before using. It has several Economy settings and it only turns on when I use it, but it does maintain a heated water source, so you do have that small draw. I would say 20 minutes to heat up.

A:  The seat remote has options for seat & water temperature. The amount of power consumption would vary depending on which settings are applied. My guess is routinely turning the unit on an off could lead to premature internal electronic component failures, but you would need to consult the manufacturer for a definitive answer.

A:  There's an "economy" mode... not sure exactly what that does But we leave it on because we like the warm seat - even in the summer - and the warm water will take a bit to build up if it's off. The drain is actually pretty minimal - I think it only heats the water when it needs to - so it's not 660 watts continuously.

A:  Only time it uses power continually is if you have heated seat turned on for warm seat always.

A:  I don't think the unit draw any power when it is idling. It does only if you turn on the heated seat mode. It is ready within seconds when you plug it in.

A:  yes

A:  Yes the bars should not make a difference.

A:  This bidet seat replaces the regular seat.

A:  No, the seat needs to sit directly on the toilet rim to operate. You might consider installing "comfort height" toilets which are roughly 2" higher than standard toilets.

A:  We do not recommend the bidet with an elevated seat.

A:  No, it replaces your standard toilet seat.

A:  This bidet comes with its unique mounting bracket that it cannot be mounted on top of another toilet seat.

A:  The way the mounting hardware is set up it should fit everything

A:  Not sure, the bidet attaches right to the toliet. I would suggest putting in a higher toliet,and then using this bidet. We have 3 of them and LOVE them.They are so nice for the elderly or handicap that has a hard time cleaning hard to reach areas.

A:  The bidet attaches to the holes at the back of the toilet bowl just like a regular toilet seat. The elevated toilet seats I'm aware of don't have holes at the back to attach a seat cover so the bidet most likely wouldn't work for that application. The actual bidet seat is somewhat smaller than a standard toilet seat as extra room is required for the mechanical water spraying parts so I don't think that an elevated seat would fit on top of the bidet seat either. Your best bet would be to install a "comfort height" toilet which are roughly 2" higher than standard height toilets and then install the bidet. Also be aware that bidet seats require a nearby GFCI protected outlet to plug in the power cord. They do come with water fittings for attaching to existing water supply lines.

A:  Fits our Santa Rosa elongated toilet just fine!

A:  Give me the dimensions of the toilet bowl top,outside edges.

A:  Fits our Santa Rosa just fine

A:  This will not work with the Santa Rosa.

A:  The bidet fits our standard Santa Rosa elongated toilet just fine. You will need to contact Koehler for dimensions of their “compact” toilet. My guess is the seat size is standard so the bidet should work unless there is a non-standard seat for the “compact” model

A:  Sorry, not sure, I was of the belief that Standard Round, and Standard Elongated sizes were sized accordingly, My seat is the Elongated size and fits fine, but I am not sure what Model toilet I have.

A:  NO, CHECK THE NOZZLE, MAYBE IT IS SHOOTING ABOVE THE RIM?

A:  No! sounds like the seat is getting wet either by water spraying and splashing off of you or possibly from moisture in the air from your shower.

A:  We live in the dry west and haven’t had a similar problem. Perhaps there’s high humidity at your location?

A:  Hello, Thank you for you inquiry and the photo. The wet/damp feeling may be a reaction from the warmth of the seat and you possibly not being used to it. However, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 847-458-2334. We are available Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. Thank you, Bio Bidet Support

A:  I've owned 4 of these BIO-Bidets, thus far, and none have ever felt damp or wet when I've sat on them. One thing for sure is that I absolutely love this bidet and will always have one in my bathroom (It's in the guest bathroom too!), just as I will always have a whole house fan. I wouldn't want to live without either...lol..My only complaint is that the seat cracks, even though I clean them as directed. And this is why I have owned 3 of them. The 4th one was because I bought the wrong shape and didn't open the box until it was too late to send back (hence the guest bathroom having one). That was bought on eBay (never again), the other's from Home Depot. Good Luck!

A:  The bidet seat provides water jet that massages you.

A:  a happy ending

A:  The water will no longer shoot a straight stream but vibrate to create a massaging effect

A:  The spray ossillates/pulses.
