How to troubleshoot when there is no water flowing into the bidet seat?
Troubleshooting NO water into the bidet unit could be easy.
However, sometimes you may need a repair service for the bidet seat you are using.
First, check the simple steps below before you do anything:
- Check the main water opening switch that opens and closes the water going to the toilet and washstand.
- Check to see if the bidet seat power light is ON (if no power light is on, which means no electrical input or the bidet seat is out).
- Reset the bidet seat power by unplugging the cord, waiting for 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in. (Since the bidet seat is an electromechanical product, it may require a reset of the power).
If you are still experiencing the same issue, then proceed with the below steps:
- If the water opening switch is open, then check the water pressure. You may check the water pressure via the washstand faucet if it is OK.
- If everything is normal, turn off the water opening, then open up the T-Valve, which connects the water going into the toilet tank and bidet.
- Then open up the water opening switch slowly and find if the water comes out from the T-Valve.
- If water flows normally, your issue might be between the flexible hose and the bidet unit or the bidet unit itself.
- If you are using a water filter, take out the water filter, then directly connect the water hose to the bidet bypassing the water filter. (Most of the time, the filter slows down the water flows into the bidet seat when it becomes old and clogged with contaminants).
- If the water flows fine without the water filter, you want to replace the water filter. Your issue is the water filter.
- If you are not using the water filter, open up the hose connecting to the bidet seat unit, then visually see if the water flows out of the hose and check the water pressure.
- If the water flows fine through the hose, then your issue is one of the following reasons:
- The water pump is NOT functioning in the bidet seat unit.
- The water tank is leaking (if your bidet seat is a tank-type).
- The control unit of the bidet seat is malfunctioning.
Any of the above symptoms mentioned in ITEM #8 require a service to replace the malfunctioning bidet parts.
Troubleshooting NO water into the bidet may be simple and easy if there is a water flow issue before the water goes into the bidet seat unit.
However, if the bidet seat is the source of the issue, we recommend using a repair service.
Where is the T-valve, and what does it look like?
What is the difference between a tankless and a tank-type?
As the word suggests, tankless has no tank in the bidet. It instantly heats the water through a heating module. Tank-type uses a tank in the unit exposed to bacteria built-up.
Which bidet type provides more reliability and longevity?
The tankless bidet is more reliable and provides longevity: no leakage from the tank and fewer mechanical movements. Thus, the tankless are more reliable and have longer service life.
Tankless Is More Reliable, Hygienic, and Energy-saving Technology.
Tankless is less noisy and energy-consuming(consumes 47% less energy than tank-type) and hygienically far better than the tank-type or hybrid-type bidet. A hybrid type still uses a small tank in the unit; therefore, it is still a tank type.
