It is inexpensive, easy to install, and no electrical energy is required to run it, which makes perfect sense for a beginner. Also, it provides a very basic bidet or posterior wash. And you don’t need to wire electrical input.
The limitation of mechanical bidet toilet attachment
The mechanical bidet uses water pressure as the energy source to spray pressure water directly from your water opening. There are a few disadvantages:
- The mechanical bidet uses water pressure as the energy source to spray pressure water directly from your water opening.
- No purified water: As water directly comes through the unit, you cannot attach a water filter to the bidet to purify incoming water.
- No warm water, no heated seat, no warm air dryer: Since it is a mechanical bidet, there is no electrical energy to provide warm water, a heated seat, or a warm air dryer.
- The bidet nozzle is always open to the air, requiring to clean it before using it since the nozzle can get impurities easily.
Simplicity and economy of a mechanical bidet
You still like to use the toilet attachment bidet since it is NOT expensive, simple to use, and easy to install. It serves just fine for a basic wash, even though some disadvantages exist compared to an electronic bidet seat.
