Brondell instructions were bad. Thank you for this great video.
I'm glad to hear you found it helpful!! Next time you're in the market, let me know!!
Awesome video. I just bought this very model. All the other videos I saw didn't show this model I have. It's very informative. I would have liked if you had shown how the water pressure is and if it was variable. Obviously you can't just let it spray all over but others held a towel or bucket over the spray to show. But otherwise a good video. Thanks. I'm going to connect mine this weekend
Glad you liked it! The pressure is variable, but not overly strong. If you'd like something a bit stronger than the Swash, I'd recommend the Eco Nova bidet seat: www.manybidets.com/product/eco-nova-bidet-seat/ If you want stronger still, I'd recommend the Cascade 3000 Bidet Seat: www.manybidets.com/product/cascade-bidet-3000/
Easy to follow video, helped my install!
Glad to hear it helped! Next time you're in the market, feel free to reach out for discounts on the Swash 1400, or any of the other seats we carry.
Nothing but trouble dealing with Brondell. Mine came defective as the seat would not rest on the bowl. The rear feet of the seat don’t rest on the toilet. They recognized it but wanted money for the parts to fix their error. Returned it.
Thanks for your feedback! We are sorry to hear this was your experience.
Good luck having an outlet nearby
That is something we run into issues with... An extension cord can be used, or an outlet can be installed. More and more homes are installing outlets near by when they are being built!
@@ManyBidets Yeah, i'll drop a new outlet when I'm ready. They should make that mandatory for all new homes built. Doesn;t add hardly anything to the cost of a house but will encourage more Americans to make the switch.
@@lucyfyrearchoftwilight9282 100% agree! It's a pitty it hasn’t been a thing from the start, but it is becoming more and more common :-) Once you get an outlet near by, reach out and we'll give you special pricing :-)
I never could understand why this isn't catching on here in North America. Most hygienic.
$$$$$ saved on toilet paper but might, just might, increase your water consumption. For me, very worth while. In the , toilet area, Europe has been ahead of us for years.
Can I put the T-valve / split connector to the water spout from the wall as oppose to the toilet. I can't reach the toilet one as easily
You can not with the standard T that comes with the seat, but you can if you get this alternate T connector: www.manybidets.com/product/bidet-t-valve-for-skirted-toilet/
@@ManyBidets I can reach with a tool but it's a bit annoying and my water tank isn't emptying complete and i have some sani products in there.
Will opening the fill valve - unthreading, cause the water in the tank to leak out?
@@ManyBidets Why can't we use the Standard T?
@@sedul2006 If you can't reach under the tank, you can use this: www.manybidets.com/product/bidet-t-valve-for-skirted-toilet/
Can I use a standard outlet? Instead of gfi outlet??
Neither Many Bidets nor Brondell recommend it, but technically the seat will work if plugged into a standard outlet.
Do we need a bidet filter for this model? Thanks
If you have hard water, it's highly recommended, otherwise you can get away without one.
A brondal swash it should be called R.SWASHER
I just installed one very easy to install. where were these when I was a kid. first time use was very impressed. very clean sanitary
Glad to hear it! Thanks for your business!
In Japan
@@ManyBidets hi can use a standard outlet instead of gfi outlet?
@@kleverpenafiel7019 Both we and Brondell recommend only using a GFCI outlet, but it will work plugged into a standard outlet as well.
@@ManyBidets thank you
Superbe on ne peut plus s'en passer !!
Really complicated. The seat when you slide back for fitting it, only one side rib gets in the groove. The video runs fast not a great help. The booklet also does not show all parts and explain.
Thank you. I used this video after I tried to remove an existing unit, and I was stuck.
You're very welcome! Glad it helped!
@@danieljohnson3746 how long does this take on average? Thanks for sharing this.
@@bariswheel We tend to see it take around 15 minutes. It's a pretty quick process. Thanks for asking!
I'm unaable to unscrew the water line from the toilet, it just will not move, HELP, i'm 80 and a woman with not much strength.
I would recommend reaching out to a handyman or plumber. Sadly, if you're not able to unscrew it, you'll need to get someone else involved.
Use two wrenches
One to hold the valve and one to turn the water line
how long is the electrical cord?? Can it be ordered with an extra foot or two??
It's 3 feet long but you can use an extension cord. You can't order different lengths though
When I installed my brondell swash it leaked from the water tank. Split seam. Defective from the factory. I called Brondell and they refused to fix it.
I'm really sorry to hear that! Did you purchase from us? If so, please email us at support@manybidets.com. We'll make sure you get taken care of, and pull some strings with Brondell.
@@ManyBidets I am sorry I had to write this review. I did not purchase this bidet from you. I am sure you would not have handled the problem in the shortsighted manner in which Brondell Corporate did. You probably would have had it repaired at minimal cost and I would have been very happy. I purchased mine through amazon. They accepted the return of the defective unit. Unfortunately they do not repair. Repair is what I really wanted as the unit itself was pretty nice if it only didn't flood my bathroom.
@@odomn No worries at all. We welcome any and all feedback. If you're in the market for a bidet seat where you won't have problems like the one you described, feel free to reach out. We can hook you up!
I do have to say you helped me on one very important way to test the connection. I had to replace the line from the wall due to the fact it was a straight hard line. After connecting everything I had leak fron the connection of the new line from the walk to under the toilet. It was actually my son doing this as I couldn't fit in the small space. I believe he may have cross threaded it to the fill valve. After undoing the new line, he reconnected the old and no leak. It's confusing why it's not leaking anymore. But im glad. But here's where I say you helped. In your video before it was all connected you blocked the one end of the valve to first see if there was a leak. If we were to do that we would have known right away there was a leak before we went any further. I actually just bought another fill valve thinking it was cross threaded. Before we put that to use I am going to have him try your method. I have watched a good 10 videos on this bidet thing and yours was the only one to give this little hint. Thanks so much
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad it helped!!!
I am installing my bedit and the T-Valve connector is leaking in between the part that attaches to the tank and the second part that connects to the bedit hose. I have re-installed it three times thinking it's something I have done wrong. It could be a defective part. I can't get a hold of brondell.
Thanks for any advise!!
Are you using plumbers tape? If so, try without the plumbers tape. You might also check to see if there are any burs on the inside of the T or on the hose threads. I've only ever seen that happen once, but it's a possibility. If neither of those steps works, text or email me your order number, and we can get a warranty claim or support claim filed with Brondell on your behalf. 248-974-4030 or support@manybidets.com

@@jayrprado8799 I had the same issue... I tightened the valves too tight. Try loosen them. Mine stopped leaking.
The trick is not to over tighten the T to the toilet, as you can watch in the video it's gentle flinger tight
Overtightening even using fingers can push the gasket into the toilet threaded pipe causing a leak.
If this trick doesn't work try to use some plumbers tape on the toilet threaded section
I tried this 5 times to get it not too leak. The design is flawed. It does not give me a good sense that this will not leak in the future. Seems so fragile. It is a $600 product. Expected better than this.
the black peices are different on mine.
What model toilet is in this video?
Unfortunately, this was 6 years ago so I don't recall but believe it was a TOTO Drake. We're always happy to help confirm fit so just reach out if we can help!
Yes, confirming fit would be so helpful! I have the Omigo luxury bidet for a round toilet but it does not fit our current toilet because the tank prevents it from sliding far enough back. Would the Toto be a good option?
Why does this video say nothing about the metal brackets that are #6 in the guide that comes with the bidet?
I have never seen an outlet behind the toilet in any of the many homes i have lived
I agree, having an outlet right behind the toilet is not very common. It is becoming common in new builds which is exciting! We have a lot of customers install an outlet near the toilet, or run an extension cord.
Can’t get the water supply to thread on straight to the t valve. Any ideas?
email us with your order info, and we'll reach out to Brondell on your behalf. You may simply need a new T or hose if there's a cross threading issue...
I installed mine 3 years ago, I’m pleased with it
Glad to hear it!
Can I use a standard outlet instead of gfi outlet??
Neither Many Bidets nor Brondell recommend it, but technically the seat will work if plugged into a standard outlet.
Tres belle technologie !!
Do you need an electric outlet for this installation ? Love to have one.
Yes you do. Top pull is about 13 amps, but you can use an extension cord that’s 14 gauge if needed.
@@ManyBidets Uhm, extension cord ? Nah. Thanks for your response.😉
@@ornellabarbaro3861 Yeah, I get the desire not to use one :-) Just wanted to make sure you knew all the options! If you ever have a bathroom where you have an outlet near by, hit us up!
@@ManyBidets My daughter designed my bathroom, and put an electrical outlet near the toilet "just in case". Great idea. My sister-in-law wanted a bidet, but didn't have an electrical plug near her toilet. But, since her toilet was on her main floor, it wasn't too difficult to bring the wires up through the basement ceiling. Definitely worth the effort.
What’s out the worm water ?
Can you clarify your question?
The unit is electrical, it heats the water.
Thanks 🙏🌹🙏
I was going to get one, but I don’t have any electrical outlets available :(
I'm sorry to hear that! You can always use an extension cord if you need to.
