Bidet

[Ataman]

On R27OB.

I used this attachment:

https://myomigo.com/products/element-plus

Which is non-electric and taps hot and cold water connections. Lotsa other options if you don’t care about warm water. But warm water is nice.

It fits the Raritan head fine. The attachments hang over the back a little but don’t obstruct anything. No problems with, um, aim.

I tapped the hot and cold freshwater tubing behind the locker door (so convenient!) w some valved quick connect fittings and ran new tubing back through the port beneath the head. I adapted the fittings that shipped w the bidet to connect the bidet to the new pex lines.

Also provides fresh water for flushing. Seawater connection lost prime for an afternoon and this came in handy.

10/10 would recommend. Just don’t turn temperature knob past 2 o’clock…

Interesting . . . Curious about one thing. What do you have to do to make sure the hot water is hot? It’s a long run on my boat from the hot water heater to the front head. Unless someone has just run hot water to the bathroom sink or shower, I wouldn’t expect hot water to be available for the bidet without running it for a minute or so ahead of time. Have you had any problem with that?

Yeah the distance from the water heater is definitely a constraint. Best way to get things warmed up I’ve found is the bidet’s “cleaning” setting. It directs the water to the bottom of the bowl, so you can run it once you sit down. After about 30 sec on that it’s good to go.

Nice to know about. We are fans of Toto toilets in the house.

Related question: is there any good way to have a toilet seat warmer on the boat? The head plastic gets very cold! Constant electric heat would use a lot of power, though. I suppose a "quick warmup" feature would be one approach. A few searches reveal nothing so far, but the collective wisdom usually beats Google!

I echo the sentiment of the head getting cold, especially during winter cruising. I've seen the temp in there drop down to the 30's and 40's even with the webasto running and the rest of the boat being 70! I've been wondering about adding a heater outlet and hose for the webasto in the head, but every time I think about it, it feels like an insurmountable project. I believe others have done it, but haven't put that much research into it, yet.

I’ve looked a little, but am stuck on the Raritan seat form factor. Nothing out there seems to fit. Would love to know if someone has figured it out.

There are some 12v seats. This one draws 1a and per reviewers warms up reasonably quickly: https://heatedtoiletseat.com/collection ... oilet-seat

It’s designed for use with an AC/DC adapter plugged into an AC outlet, but I’m guessing you could just add a switch and a fuse and splice into the boat’s 12vdc. But it’d still be too big!

We’ve installed these at home and are very pleased with the quality. Rugged solid brass construction. Considering as an add to our 27LE.
