Unsure what the expiry date is so just set it to 5 days.

Have ALWAYS wanted a Japanese toilet seat and found a power outlet in the bathroom of my new house so decided today is the day, and lo and behold Kogan has their one on special + free shipping.

They have a few but this is their top model at the same price as their lowest model, and it's much cheaper than any alternatives with the same functionality.

Splits the cold water inlet from the cistern and a power socket, and has built in heaters to warm the water and clean you off. Has a heated air dryer etc as well.

An NZer reviewed one on YouTube with a 6 week follow up and raved about it. Some minor issues (like a gap between the seat and the bowl) but nothing extreme.

Just ordered one today for myself, my father is intending to see how it goes, then get one himself as he has always wanted one as well.

      Jesus, they used to list them for $850. I definitely wouldn't have bought at that price.

    Not gonna lie, rocking a Japanese toilet seat is some boujee-ass goals that I’m here for…

    Got the non remote control version of this one in late 2019. early last year hair line cracks started to appear on the seat and has progressed. Doesn't impact the function of it but i dont expect to last too long.

      Who knew, a bidet that's $700 more expensive has more features…

      Regardless of the seriousness or not, I didn't know cistern-less toilets existed and like the idea.

      "This toilet suite doesn't need a separate cistern as it connects directly to the water feed. (best with a 20mm water feed)

      The minimum water flow rate has to be 18L/Min or more to operate normally. (If less than 18L/Min, the flush will not work)"

      Apparently normal NZ pressure is 25L/m.

      Also I can put a water fitting on, plug a cord in and tighten some knobs (highly skilled at knob tightening).

      But I can only imagine myself just getting shit EVERYWHERE if I ever had to replace a toilet.

    Most of these can't be consented in new Christchurch homes as there's no backflow prevention mechanism.

    But after you buy the house, there's nothing that they can do probably.

    Bidet to be compliant with NZ standards must be installed with high hazard back flow prevention valve which costs about $500-1000 for the valve.

    Imported bidet will not include the valve, local bidet may or may not have the valve integrated.

    • danvelopment on 14/08/2022 - 14:07

      Description says this:
      "Watermark certified valve with backflow prevention built-in"

        Some more information here

        https://www.cleanlet.co.nz/backflow-regulations/

        I believe that valve is not compliant, if you want a setup that is compliant you would need a more expensive and different type of backflow valve.

          Very interesting, had a bit of a scour around the internet and had a look at the building codes as I didn't really want to take the word of a company who is financially motivated to scare you into their product.

          Building code for bidets:
          https://www.building.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/building-code-co…

          Page 16:
          "Satisfy the provisions of NZBC G12 for backflow prevention."

          G12:
          https://www.building.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/building-code-co…

          Page 18 = Description of High and Medium Hazard (it's unclear which bidets fall under, the High Hazard items only really have pretty extreme examples) and would the bidet cause death? Or would it just endanger health?

          People openly and commonly piss in swimming pools, but they're medium. From what I can tell it seems to be primarily centred around chemicals that will literally kill you if you drink them even in low concentrations, rather than bacterial infections.
          Page 19 = If it's High Hazard, they are correct.

          If it's Medium Hazard, then this qualifies as it has a dual check valve as described by their Watermark Licence https://watermark.abcb.gov.au/product-search/product/392411

          Conclusion:
          It's hard to say, I googled for answers and discussion and there's nothing really that gives any clarification on whether it would be Medium or High hazard. There's plenty of speculation on Reddit, and obviously that vendor you link would err on high because they want an order winning criteria. But nothing authoritative that weighs in on the subject.

          Outcome:
          However it's not that big of a deal as this guy will sell you an RPZ valve that will fit for $70. Again that vendor probably pointed out $500-1000 because he's opted to using fear to drive sales.

          https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/building-renovation/…

          Final Note:
          In any case I now know more, so I'm happy.

            @danvelopment: Cool. We have an Englefield bidet installed about 1-2 years ago and I'm not sure if it plumber installed one or not. I would imagine he did because he wasn't cheap despite being a friend and when he installed the insinkerator hot tap he didn't use all the plastic connections that came with it because he said they were shit. Lol.

            Anyways tldr, bidet is awesome I would hate not to have one now.

            I would of thought it would be high hazard because it's faecal matter but I am not sure either

    Installed one of these from Bunnings just after the first lockdowns and the first great toilet paper wars. The Bunnings one has a back flow preventer in them. Was well worth it thru COVID

    Question: How did Micheal Jackson wash his back?

  • danvelopment on 19/08/2022 - 18:31

    Just arrived today and installed it. Very happy. You haven't lived until you press the oscillate button.

    Took about 20 minutes to install and only needed a phillips screwdriver.
