Hi, newbie here...
Remodeling one of our bathrooms and with new toilet, would like to install a bidet seat. The choice of toilets is Kohler Santa Rosa or Toto MS854114S, just because I already bought them.
I also already purchased (but can return it) a Swash 900 Electric Bidet from Home Depot. Also looking at Bio Bidet USPA 6800 as an option.
So far it looks like there is not enough distance between the mounting holes on the Santa Rosa for the installation of the Swash, and I doubt there will be enough for the USPA. That probably leaves me with Toto - not that I am complaining
Comparing the two bidet seat choices I like the fact that Swash has stainless steel nozzles, but it comes short IMO in option choices in comparison to USPA. The later also has rear mounted cord compare to the Swash's side mount (that I happen to hate). Unfortunately both of them have a side mounting water supply, but i guess that fact is unavoidable, at least until the toilet manufacturers can come up and agree on the universal bottom mount placement for the water supply.
I am also debating if there will be any benefit of running a 1/2" hot water supply to the toilet location and premixing it before the inlet to the bidet, since I have all drywall out. I know nothing about how they work, so it could be more harm then good, maybe someone here knows for sure?
Thanks in advance,
