Installing a bidet attachment is one of the simplest ways to upgrade your daily routine, and the GoBidet is among the best! This great bidet attachment allows you to adjust the nozzle position and water pressure, and unlike many non-electric options, it even offers a warm water add-on! The GoBidet works with almost any toilet, and installation is a breeze! Keep reading or check out the video below to learn how to install this bidet attachment in your own bathroom.

The GoBidet is our favorite bidet attachment, and getting it up and running couldn’t be easier! Installing this handy add-on will have you on your way to a complete water cleanse in just minutes.

Step 1: Remove Your Existing Toilet Seat

The GoBidet sits between the toilet seat and the rim of the toilet, so you’ll need to remove your toilet seat to put it in place. Simply unscrew the nuts from the mounting bolts on the underside of the toilet and lift the seat off. Be sure not to lose the bolts or nuts – you’ll use the same hardware to reattach the seat when you’re done!

Step 2: Put the GoBidet in Place

With its single-bolt connection, the GoBidet attaches quickly and easily to just about any toilet. The rubber washer that sits under the arm does double duty, keeping the attachment from wobbling and protecting your toilet from scratches.

Pro Tip: If you have the hot water kit for the GoBidet, get that ready to go before you install the attachment. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the cap on the hot water inlet (marked with an “H”) and install the nub that came with your kit.

To install the GoBidet, simply unscrew the nut and remove the plastic washer, leaving the black rubber washer at the top in place. Then, insert the bolt into your toilet’s bolt hole (you want the attachment to be on your right when you sit down on the toilet). Slide the plastic washer over the bolt from underneath and securely tighten the nut. You can either hand-tighten the nut or gently snug it up using a wrench. Set the spacer (it’ll be in the smaller box with the T-valve) into the other bolt hole.

You’ll notice that the GoBidet’s arms go over the rim of the toilet bowl, which allows the nozzle to hide inside the toilet bowl. It also gives you the flexibility to adjust the nozzle for perfect positioning in a front or rear wash. But if the overall placement just isn’t quite right with your toilet, you have the option to change the mounting position. To do this, unscrew the GoBidet’s bolt completely and thread it into the second hole on the arm.

Step 3: Connect Water to the GoBidet and Reinstall the Toilet Seat

Now it’s time to get water flowing to your GoBidet! First, turn off the water supply to the toilet and hold down the flush mechanism to drain the tank. (You’ll want to have a rag on hand to soak up any drips.) Disconnect the water supply hose from the bottom of the toilet tank and screw on the T-valve that came with your GoBidet. You may choose to use a little plumber’s tape (also included with your GoBidet) on the threads for a better seal. Then, make sure the rubber gasket is seated in the water supply hose and screw it onto the bottom of the T-valve. Finally, attach one end of the bidet’s water hose to the offshoot on the T-valve and the other to the cold water inlet (marked with a “C”) on the GoBidet. Gently tighten the connections with a wrench.

If you have the standard cold water GoBidet, you’re done with plumbing! If you’re using the hot water kit, you’ll have an additional hose to connect to the hot water inlet (marked with an “H”) and your sink’s water line.

With all the hoses securely fastened, you can finalize the placement of your GoBidet. Move the arm and nozzle to the right spot and tighten the nut on the bottom side of the arm (above the water inlet) to keep it firmly in position.

When everything is where it belongs, reattach your toilet seat by inserting the bolts through the GoBidet arm on one side and the plastic spacer on the other. Tighten the nuts onto the bolts from underneath to secure the seat in place.

Step 4: Turn On Water and Check for Leaks

With your new bidet attachment installed and your toilet put back together, it’s time to get the water flowing! Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. There are a few specific spots to inspect:

  • the three connections on the T-valve (toilet tank inlet, water supply hose and bidet hose)
  • the connection between the bidet hose and the bidet water inlet
  • the connection between the water supply hose and the main water supply

If you notice any rogue water, turn the water supply off immediately and flush the toilet to drain the tank. Then, undo the leaky connection and make sure any rubber washers are still in place. If you’re having trouble getting a good seal, you can use a little bit of plumber’s tape on the threads. Reconnect the valve or hose, turn on the water and do another leak check. If you continue to run into issues, let us know and we’ll do our best to help you troubleshoot!

Step 5: Test Your GoBidet!

Once you’ve achieved a leak-free install, it’s time for the fun part: testing your new GoBidet! The front lever controls the wash (forward is off and backward is on) and the rear lever adjusts the nozzle position.

Pro Tip: Moving the rear lever all the way toward the back of the toilet will neatly stow the GoBidet’s nozzle under the toilet rim when you’re not using it.

With the wash on, turn the lever toward the toilet to increase the water pressure and away to lower the pressure. (If the water doesn’t start flowing and you’re using the cold water version, make sure the front level isn’t turned toward the hot water inlet.) The GoBidet delivers great pressure using only your home’s water pressure, so we recommend going slow until you get the hang of it!
