Do bidets exist that can drain from their rear into a roughed-in drain projecting from the wall (like a sink's), or by definition MUST they drain straight down into a pipe leading into the slab (like a toilet's)?
I'm planning to buy a Cat Genie after I finish my new bathroom, and want to permanently connect it to a real drain instead of hanging its drainpipe over the toilet rim. HOWEVER, I don't want to hurt my home's resale value, either... and having a capped-off drainpipe and water valve projecting from the wall in the middle of the wall between the sink and toilet would probably do just that. Unless, of course, I can come up with a way to make the roughed-in plumbing needed by the Cat Genie compatible with the roughed-in plumbing needed by a bidet. THEN, if I ever need to sell the house someday, I can just buy a cheap bidet and install it next to the toilet where the Cat Genie used to be, and boost my home's resale value instead.
The thing is, if the only way to achieve bidet compatibility is with a drain leading down into the slab, I'll be forced to go with plan "B" -- forget the bidet, and just hide the Cat Genie's new drainpipe behind the toilet or next to the sink's.
So... do rear-draining bidets exist (if not in America, at least someplace in the world where the shipping wouldn't be cost-prohibitive)?
