- Connect the bidet hose to the T-valve and the bidet attachment, ensuring all connections are tight.
- Reinstall the toilet seat and lid.
Testing and Final Adjustments
Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. Flush the toilet to ensure water flows properly to the bidet attachment. Adjust the water pressure and temperature settings according to your preference.
Tips for Efficient Use
