FAQs
What is a douche spray kit used for?
A douche spray kit, also known as a bidet shower or hand bidet, is primarily used for personal cleansing after using the toilet, offering a more hygienic and water-efficient alternative to toilet paper.
Does this kit require a separate water connection?
Yes, the kit connects to your existing water supply, typically via the toilet cistern or a dedicated valve installed for this purpose.
Is installation difficult?
Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended for installation. It usually involves connecting the hose and handset to the water supply. Professional installation is advised if you are unsure.
Can I connect this to a hot water supply?
This is typically a cold-water spray. For warm water, you would need to plumb it into a pre-mixed warm water line or a specialized mixer valve, which may require professional plumbing adjustments.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended to maintain the chrome finish. Periodically check connections for leaks.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from the handset
Check that the main water supply valve is fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose. Clean any debris from the handset nozzle and the connection point.
Leaking connections
Turn off the water supply. Carefully re-tighten all threaded connections. Check that rubber washers or seals are present and in good condition.
Handset difficult to control
Ensure the hose is not twisted or obstructed. Verify that the water supply valve is functioning correctly.
