Bidet

I am also looking into converting from a water heater tank to tankless water heater. The latter does have advantages that are attractive.

You might take a look at heat pump water heaters as well. I confess to not knowing anything about them but I did have a heat pump installed to heat my house a couple of years ago and they cost nearly the same to use as buying firewood and a lot less than most other mechanical heat sources.

Seems easy and cheap to make your own bidet, with temp and pressure dialed in, if you have an electrical outlet to plug into. Aquarium heater in the tank, and aquarium pump to power the hosedown.

Let us know how that works out for you.... smh...

why reinvent the wheel? an aquarium pump would not supply enough pressure its not exactly expensive to buy a setup.
 
We remodeled our half bath into a second full bathroom and included a socket near the toilet. Based on the price of the remodel, we went ahead and got a decent Toto C200 on sale. The COVID price of the bidet is now $100 over the former list price. Nice to have a not cold toilet seat in the morning :).

There's enough pressure from ordinary aquarium pumps to do anything you'd need to do, but to me it seems like it would be better to have more flow than to have higher pressure. Never tried one so it's just my usual DIYer approach. I see some of them are the same price as a new ebike battery.

nope it would not you need pressure. believe me you need it. for 200.00 it would be pointless to try to make it. if you can handle cold water its even cheaper.
 
Good household pressure would be 60-65psi, for example, which would allow for reverse osmosis filter function.

Most revers osmosis membranes are designed to work with 60 PSI or higher water pressure, where they are tested to yield a stable rejection rate of at least 97.5%. If the water pressure feeding an RO system is less than that, the system will produce less water and at a lower quality.

Been using one for years and will not go back to TP usage. Refreshing and a good thorough cleaning. The "peanut butter out of shag carpeting with a paper towel", analogy is the very reason why I switched over to that type of cleansing. You could also opt for a portable style using a squeeze bottle with a curved tube. :rolleyes:

That portable style is a good idea for camping. Some of the squeeze bottles they use are very flexible so provide a good flow easily.
 
It's hard to believe that some of these inventions are more sanitary (for the user) than using a regular toilet and TP.
Expensive ones might have all kinds of extras such as self-cleaning and UV sterilization, I imagine.
