We bought a cheap add-on Boss Bidet for the toilet and are having a few issues.
Issues:
1. The water pressure is too high. The house pressure is around 55 psi and after it goes through the 1/8th" PVC tubing even barely turning the valve it's like having your unmentionables pressure washed.
2. In the winter the temperature of the water is painfully cold.
Questions:
1.
- Are there flow restrictor products for 1/8th" PVC tubing? I'm assuming this would be a barb x barb fitting with a small orifice. If so, where can I get one for a reasonable cost?
- Are there valves of this small size that would also do the job and allow accurate adjustment at this high pressure?
- Can I just compress the PVC tubing to restrict the flow with a clamp of some sort? Is this safe? Will it lead to failure and leakage?
2.
What solutions are there to get the water temperature to at least 70-80F?
I was thinking either an intermediate 1/2 to 1 gallon tank with heater or an on-demand system. The problem is I have not found any that are designed for this relatively lower temperature and don't want to over complicate things by adding a mixing valve.
