RinseWorks - Aquaus 360 HandHeld Bidet sprayer for Toilet - NSF cUPC Certified for Legal Installation - 2 BackFlows - Dual Pressure Controls – 3” to 11” Spray reach - 3 Year Warranty (Polymer Sprayer)

We’ve had this device installed for 3+ years now, and have been so pleased with it we installed a second one in our guest bathroom. I wanted to share our experience for those of you who may be considering one, or are just curious about what it is and how it works.I spoke at length on installation in my first review, so this time I’ll speak more of durability and usage.This device manufacturer, as do the manufacturers of similar devices, will caution you to shut off the water supply between uses. From my impressions gathered from users of other devices, that’s an absolute necessity - they’re just not designed to withstand constant 24x7 exposure to water pressure, and they eventually begin to leak at the on/off handle at the business end of the device. With both of our units, we’ve never turned off the water supply, and in three years neither have leaked a drop. They still work as well, and as smoothly today as they did when they were first installed. In fact, the ONLY evidence of usage is where they’re inserted into the wall holster - they show a bit of scuffing. We’ve had soft water throughout the house the entire time, so that may have been a positive factor. I can’t say that with any certainty, but I have to imagine that the absence of scale buildup has been a plus for how long these devices have been trouble free.Using it - I’ll be as plain-spoken as I can without triggering any censor algorithms, but I’ll likely have to leave some things unspoken.These devices are meant to use high-pressure water to cleanse delicate parts of your body. The most common usage is for washing away fecal matter, but my wife also uses it for washing her lady parts (with purpose made feminine soap). The on/off switch is also a variable pressure switch, and it will take some time and usage for you to find a pressure setting that’s comfortable for you. An unfortunate design forces you to find that ‘sweet spot’ each time you use it, but over time we’ve gotten accustomed to it and know just how much pressure to apply. A bit of caution is in order here - too much pressure can be a somewhat painful experience, so be cautious and start slow until you find a comfortable setting that still provides the cleansing needed.How you use it is really up to you. Feminine hygiene of course is performed from the front, but for rinsing fecal matter away it’s more a matter of personal preference whether you come from the front, side, or rear. I’ve gotten the best results using it from the rear, but again, that’s simply my preference.Unless you’ve paid a plumber (or done it yourself) to mix hot and cold to provide warm water to your toilet tank, you’re going to be using the cold water supply. This may be uncomfortable at first, but I assure you that after 3 years of daily use we don’t even notice it. Of course, I live in North Florida where the coldest cold water probably doesn’t come close to the cold water temps in Minnesota, so I may be talking out of where I use this device with that observation.How effective is it really?This is almost a cultural question. Using soap and water instead of dry toilet tissue is the method used through most of Asia; you’ll only find toilet tissue in hotels that cater to Westerners. I’ve been in homes in the Philippines where you’ll find two bars of soap - one for washing your hands, and the other for NOT washing your hands. They’re usually placed in strategic locations so you can tell which is which, but I did have to ask my host on occasion.At home, I personally don’t use soap when using this device, opting instead for a prolonged rinse. I reserve the use of soap for that part of my body for the daily shower.It is, however, important that you dry yourself after each use. If you’ve ever participated in athletics, you’re probably well aware of what happens when your skin is exposed for prolonged periods to the combination of warmth and moisture. Jock itch where you sit down is something you want to avoid, so be sure to dry yourself after with a bit of tissue paper.Placement - getting used to this device means using it regularly. DON’T use that little hook that attaches to the rim of the toilet tank - that ‘behind-your-back’ placement makes it REALLY difficult to reach for the device or put it away when done. Instead, find a suitable place on the bathroom wall (preferably over a stud) to attach the holster so you can easily reach for the device and then put it away. I once watched a mostly glowing review of this device by a gentleman who’s chief complaint was that it was just too inconvenient. He’d used the tank clip, and had pushed the clip all the way to the back edge of the tank. So far back that you couldn’t even tell he had the device installed. He also mentioned that he had a hard time getting used to the device, mostly because he simply forgot it was there. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess. My take is that using a hand-held bidet is a bit of a commitment, especially for Americans who simply aren’t accustomed to this form of personal hygiene. If you’re willing to make that small commitment, however, you’ll soon discover - like I did - how much more effective and convenient this is over conventional tissue paper. Oh, one last caution - if the pressure is a bit too high, and you’re a bit too relaxed, there is a chance the water can get where you don’t want it to get to. To prevent this, just tense certain muscles, much like you tense your lower body when you’re getting ready to jump. That’s all it usually takes to prevent an accidental enema. And yeah, it took a couple of times for me to figure that out.So , that’s it - a brain dump of my thoughts and experience with this device over three years of daily use. I hope I didn’t offend anyone, and that you found it useful, or at least informative.—————-I grew up in the States, so my first experience with using water to...errr...clean up afterwards didn't occur until as an adult I traveled to the Philippines where, I discovered to my great dismay, that the public restrooms at the mall I was visiting had empty spaces in the walls where the toilet tissue hangers should have been. Instead, there was a large tub of water on the floor in front of the stool, with this ominous-looking plastic scoop hanging off the side. So, yeah. Memorable. When I asked my Filipino friends later why they didn't warn me before I left, they just laughed and said 'it's better that you experience the culture first-hand'. Nice.So, my Filipino wife absolutely hates toilet tissue, and we both abhor the use of those wet-wipe things that clog up sewers, so I promised her that I'd try to find a bidet attachment for our toilet. There's a bunch of them available, but most, I found, have a form-fitting holster that you have to hang on the toilet tank behind you. I couldn't imagine trying to fiddle with trying to unholster and reholster the thing behind your back, so I wanted something that had a more flexible arrangement. The RinsWorks model, while it too has the tank hanger, called out that their holster could also be mounted to a wall. Exactly what I was looking for.Too late, I discovered that I have a "non-standard" toilet, where the water inlet, instead of coming in through a bottom corner of the tank, goes all the way to the top center of the tank, and attaches directly to the ball-cock assembly. Yikes! Well, a couple of trips to plumbing supply shops got me the parts I needed to attach the RinseWorks to the water supply coming out of the wall. Once I had all the right combinations of fittings and reducers, the thing was a snap to install and set up. My wife LOVES it! (Happy Wife, Happy Life!!!)Do I use it? Well, it took a fair amount of convincing and soul searching, but once I took the leap...well, let me put it like this - the same roll of toilet tissue has been hanging in our bathroom now for 4 months. But liquid soap use has gone up. Exponentially.The opposing thumb/finger control is surprisingly easy to use. The spray nozzle is quite concentrated, which is pretty helpful for reasons I don't think I should (or the Amazon censors would allow me to) explain in detail.That 3-inch extension piece is a godsend, by the way.So, yeah. I guess many of the folks that grew up in the same culture I did will laugh and think I've crossed over to the Dark Side, but to that, all I can say is that I've come to believe that using this device is a cleaner, more hygienic way of finishing the job at hand. Oh, no pun intended!

First off, I want to assure you my only experience in plumbing was a month ago, redoing my kitchen sink, learning from YouTube. Installing this was way easier than that, if you follow Rinseworks step by step video.Now onto the product...I'm a big fan of cleanliness, so I had some concerns about my family's ability to keep the water in the bowl so to speak. There is a learning curve there, but it only takes a couple missteps before you turn pro.My experience with this water jet has differed from my husband's, but I think that is mostly because I pay the water bill so I'm very conscious of its use. He blasts his rectal area out like he's got a stick of dynamite and is making a road. Therefore, he uses a little paper to pat dry and says it's a game changer. To say he is walking on sunshine (aka ice butt) would be very apt.Now for me. I like it, mostly because I feel refreshed and alive and very cooled off after its use. You think cold water up your rear might be off putting, but really it's a nice change from needing to bathe your whole self after a poo. That being said, I may continue to use toilet paper for the main attraction and have a bit of butt blasting as the final event. For me, there are reasons to get in there real good (think roids) so my methods may differ from some.Overall, I feel this product deserves all the stars for its ability to clean, its ease of installation and use, and its power to make your life better. Buy one and you won't regret it.

For medical reasons, more complete personal hygiene has become a priority concern for us. It occurred to me that a Bidet would be beneficial though it's completely off the radar for most pill-pushing Medicos. A lady friend of my wife has a condition that begs for a Bidet solution, upon using ours went straightaway and purchased her own. In her seventies, installed it herself. She reported back to my wife near-ecstatic over the benefits of it's use. Whoo hoo! She's suffered for years with a condition, though not fatal, has been most unpleasant for her. Having been on medicare for some time now, I too am frustrated that having a condition whereby I see several doctors a year, Not one of them, has EVER thought past, "take these pills, write a prescription, come back in six months!" It appears as though they are not very concerned about getting better, more about maintaining a status quo. I'm sure this is not always the case for all patients, but it has been my experience and that of many others. I've always thought of a Bidet as a separate porcelain bowl in a large, custom-built bathroom. I was surprised to find on Amazon a variety of inexpensive, DIY bathroom appliances converting a standard toilet that have received some good reviews. Minimalist that I am, it seemed like a hand-held device would serve as well as any other. My first choice, proved to be just right for us. It is not possible to get an easier to install, easier to use, device that so well-serves the purpose for which it is designed. The hardware is good quality. The water valves are metal and ceramic, the wand extensions are chrome plated PVC, so, have a substantial high quality feel, fit, and finish. Without giving it much thought you might easily think that it is constructed of chrome-plated metal. There is nothing about it that looks like there is any plastic in it's construction. Also supplied are wand attachments providing different lengths and spray patterns. In my opinion, not any part of it appears cheap, at least not to me. It is obviously pretty well-made at a very reasonable price. By design, any instructions on it's use is pretty self-explanatory.. It just works! Upon first use, you should open the valve on the wand slowly, as at full tilt there is a substantial blast of water, but not enough to cause any type of injury to delicate body parts. It ranges from not enough to about as high as any one would care to go. I especially like the thumb and forefinger operated control. Compared to some other bidets it is very linear and predictable. At the lower setting it is very gentle, too gentle for me, as I figure, the more water, the better the cleansing action, so I let-er-rip! My wife was a bit skeptical at first, but it only takes a few seconds to get the hang of it, as the control valve is continuously variable thus, firm in hand and easy to manipulate with dial-up ease of control. Most folks say that the cold water is no big deal, quickly fading into a non-issue - I agree! They say it saves on toilet paper, - it does! For such a small investment the cost/benefit is above average. The only down-side for me is that I can't take it with me wherever I go! We should have done this years ago. You do get wet! Don't necessarily need to rely on T.P. My wife bought a stack of hand towels on sale at B., B., & B. Having been already cleansed, she just does a little blotting, and... they're re-usable. I have my own method of un-wetting, Think Green! Over time you may end up saving the life of a tree by cutting your T.P. budget in half. One reviewer says a big towel on a chair works for him. Be creative and you'll find your own way. On the feminine side, it has been suggested that one may discreetly apply a little liquid hand soap for the ultimate cleansing experience - undoubtedly, much to be preferred over an outdated T.P. ritual. You may think of it as an ultra-convenient mini-shower.CONS - Not much! Though by way of our "Magic Wand" my wife and I may have discovered bathroom Nirvana, our personal choice over any other cleansing system, it may not appeal as much to visiting In-laws or the Granddaughter's who may be less put off by a more conventional set up. Sooo... as a concession to making it available to as many as possible, in the guest bathroom we've installed a regular Bidet as a more public, bidet-like, hands-off, seat and cover assembly with built-in lever, hydraulically activated, discreet retracting sprayer booms. Plenty to choose from on Amazon. You may to have to provide a little at the site instruction for visiting first-timers. On the other hand, with the wand set out of the way in its hanger on the side of the water tank there is no physical/mechanical attachment to the toilet bowl or seat at all. While not in use it sits innocuously out of the way so that a visitor has no contact or interaction with it, so other than as a shiny object of curiosity, it can't interfere with anyone's normal toilet protocall. As such, it doesn't seem there isn't any reason to install the Aquaus in all your bathrooms - your choice. Bottom line is we are completely sold on the concept of a Bidet and have influenced two others to try it and have also given one away as a gift To me, it seems that the era of the Bidet time has arrived as the benefits outweigh any disadvantages, plus there are multiple choices available, all priced at around $100 or less. A few are very low in price, and even if you want go go full-bore with hot air and water, pricewise it remains doable for a lot of people. E.g. for a family of a mom, dad, two boys, two girls, in time, a Bidet will pay for itself many times over in toilet paper savings. BUT - for my wife and I, nothing works better, or is more to be desired, than our old standby, point and shoot, hand-held, Aquaus 360.Walter O.

This item is even better quality than what I expected. It is made of solid, durable metal and has a really nice chrome plating to keep it looking its best. The only criticism I have about it is that the holder is made of plastic, but everything else is metal. The holder is a small, fairly insignificant part, so it doesn't detract too much from the overall quality of the product. If there is a metal version of the hanger available, I would be interested in buying one as a replacement for the plastic one.

I was looking for a wand for cleaning the toilet bowl, and discovered that this could be used for cleaning and as a bidet. I had considered a bidet because I've had hemorrhoid issues in the past and knew a bidet would be better for those issues. This was more expensive than the average model, but was made in USA so I figured I'd splurge and get this unit. Well worth the extra money! It is very solid construction and feels well made. The description was not in broken English as most descriptions are on here, so there was no confusion as to the advantages described by the manufacturer. It comes with multiple parts to adjust it to your feel and seems to work just perfect with the base parts. The wand reaches your nether regions and is easy to maneuver while sitting on the toilet. The valve is easy to adjust in mid use so you get just the right pressure for a proper clean. It goes from a gentle stream to to medium flow for those extra dirty feeling days to full pressure washer blast for cleaning splatter off of the bowl. I don't recommend full spray on your bum, but hey, to each his own. After one accidental over opening of the valve, I learned the touch and haven't blasted my butt since. The system doesn't leak and seems like the construction will last a long time. Almost immediately after installing it, I had a bad hemorroid episode and don't know how I would have made it without this attachment! It saved my butt, literally! I live in Florida and our tap water comes out warm, so the temperature is just right. Not sure how well something like this would work up north where the tap water comes out ice cold, but I'm sure people have thought that part out. I honestly feel like going number 2 anywhere but home is a chore now after having this device installed! Kudos to the manufacturers! Excellent buy!
