When we went looking for a new electronic bidet, we found that other bidets sold in the far east just weren't made for Americans.

Why?  Well, they actually work OK for men.  For women, the front spray just wasn't positioned properly. It just didn't hit in the right place for women unless they leaned all the way forward to the point they were grabbing their ankles. A Korean manufacturer sent us a video of a woman using their single wand electronic bidet (a demo where she was fully dressed). I couldn't believe they would actually show potential customers how you'd have to contort your body to make it spray in the right place!

The manufacturer in Taiwan was willing to work with us on fixing the spray. After shipping a few redesigned nozzles, we finally thought they had it right. The Taiwanese bidet worked as well as the IntiMist, but it included a Warm Air Dryer  which the Japanese had removed from the IntiMist several years earlier (they certainly don't seem to think much of Americans!). This Taiwanese copy uses primarily Japanese mechanical parts. The Japanese have been making electronic bidets for so long they have it down to a science... Why reinvent the wheel?

The other benefit of the Taiwanese copy is the price!  At only $449.95, it's at the point where you'll order a second one for your other bathroom after you try it out!

As a matter of fact, we'll give you a 10% discount  on any additional bidets you order!

If you bought your electronic bidet somewhere else, just  email us a picture  of the bidet installed in your bathroom, and we'll still give you a 10% discount!

The IntiMist makes a great gift for your loved ones!

The  Science  of  why  the  IntiMist  will probably change your life...

This might be more than you want to know.  It's certainly more than I want to write about, or talk to a customer about on the phone.

So why would a stream of water work better than toilet paper? The simple answer is that it washes bacteria that can cause skin irritation away from the skin, into the toilet. Toilet paper can sometimes do that, and sometimes it can't.

For a woman, the front spray is going to wash the bacteria away. It's handy, but not critical unless she has a hard time using toilet paper because she's disabled. Urine is sterile when it comes out, so bacteria is not normally a problem. It's certainly nice to feel as clean as possible.

For both men and women, the rear spray is more than a luxury. In many countries toilet paper has never been used by most of the population. They use water and their hand, and hopefully some good soap.

In the US, toilet paper is a huge business. We use it because we've been taught to use it. Friendly Mr. Whipple played to the occasional irritation we all feel from toilet paper. I wonder what happened to Japan's toilet paper industry after the electronic bidet became popular there, to the point that it's in almost every home in Japanese urban areas?

A Korean doctor sent me an email a couple of years ago suggesting that I carry his brand of bidet - which had an enema function.  You've got to be kidding.  I'm going to sell enema machines?  Right.

Just mentioning enemas in the US is usually out of bounds, but maybe it's more normal in Korea?  In any event, his website had an animation of how his bidet worked, and some serious explanations of all kinds of medical problems that his bidet could prevent or cure (pretty questionable).  Several electronic bidets now say they provide an enema function, but they really don't work differently than any other bidet. Kind of like the massage function or the odor elimination feature, which are essentially marketing hype.

When I saw the Korean doctor's animation, I remembered a customer calling to tell me how well his bidet worked for him. He said that he had to turn down the spray (from the highest setting), which was going inside him. He also mentioned that he tried to wait until he got home to go to the bathroom. His IntiMist was the only bidet he knew of in his small town.

After seeing the Korean doctor's web page, it all came together for me. The IntiMist is giving the user an enema, but only in the anal canal - which is the last inch and a half after the rectum. The rectum is at the top of the anal canal, holding the stool that's about to be released (through the canal).

If the stool is solid, it's expelled and the 1.5" anal canal is left pretty clean. If the stool is soft, some of the stool is left in the anal canal, and it's nearly impossible to clean out with toilet paper - which might get the last half inch or so. The rest will work its way down using gravity to make it out of the canal, onto the skin around the anus (and in the underwear). Generally speaking, the longer the irritants are left on the skin, the more the skin will be irritated and the longer it will take to heal.

Unlike urine, which is sterile when it comes out, feces is made up of lots of bacteria and other things that can irritate skin if it's left on it for a while.

The IntiMist (or just about any bidet) will pretty much change your life by cleaning out that last 1.5 inches every time you go to the bathroom. If there's nothing in the canal to work its way down (the muscle at the top of the canal will normally keep stuff from entering the anal canal until you're ready to go to the bathroom), you're truly going to be clean. Medical problems you have from using toilet paper or having that bacteria on the skin for too long are going to be a thing of the past... Unless you can't get home to use your IntiMist.

The warm water stream of the IntiMist tends to relax the muscles, which helps clean the area. The heated seat may also help you relax, if you're in a colder climate.

The IntiMist isn't going to give you an enema, which is normally water or some liquid going into the rectum or even higher into the colon/intestines. On the other hand, if cleaning that last 1.5 inches of your digestive tract out with water every time you go to the bathroom seems like an enema, call it whatever you'd like.

That wasn't easy to write. I'm glad I didn't have to draw a picture!

IntiMist Installation

Measure your toilet to verify that it will work with the IntiMist before ordering. See the A, B, C and D measurements on the diagram (above).

diagram, or Click HERE to see the diagram to print it out

The A measurement determines whether you need the regular (round) or elongated bidet. There's only about an inch difference, so this measurement is VERY important!   Even we guess wrong when looking at a toilet sometimes, so use a tape measure. You may have to guess where the middle of the seat bolt hole is. Measure to the front of the INSIDE of the bowl from the center of the bolt holes (not the outside of the toilet bowl).

Don't Guess Whether it's Regular or Elongated!@!

The D measurement makes sure you have enough room on the right side of the toilet for the control panel. It should be at least 12" by code, but if your toilet wasn't installed to code you may not have it. You may also have to move the toilet paper dispenser if it's right where the control panel would go, or get our Remote Control model that has no control panel on the right.

The B measurement makes sure you have at least an inch and a quarter (1.25") or so between the middle of the toilet seat bolt holes and the beginning of the toilet tank. The tank in the IntiMist is actually located there, so your toilet has to be flat (not curved) for 1.25" in that area leading from the bolt holes to the front of the toilet tank. Some really fancy and expensive one piece toilets are curved everywhere to make them look fancy (so they won't work with the IntiMist), but most are flat in that area. The bracket for the IntiMist has to lay flat on a solid surface.

The C measurement is almost always 5.5" in the US. There are some really strange toilets that use a special seat, where the bolt holes go into the INSIDE of the toilet bowl (not on the outside). You'd probably need a plumber with a socket wrench to install a bidet on that type of toilet (the IntiMist will work on most if it's flat behind the bowl).

If you can see or feel the nuts on the seat bolts on the outside of the toilet bowl (under the rim), and you're in the US, you should have a standard seat on your toilet.

Your toilet should have a spigot coming out of the wall, with a pipe going up to the bottom of the tank. If the pipe is flexible, you remove one end and put our T-Adapter in-series with the pipe (you'll need a wrench and some white Teflon plumber's tape). If the pipe is solid (not flexible) you'll need to remove it and take it to the hardware store to get a flexible version (probably a few dollars). From the T, we give you a flexible hose that goes up to the bidet.

Remove the two nuts on the bottom of the toilet bowl holding the seat, and clean where the seat was removed.

Put our flat mounting plate with two plastic bolts down from the top into the two seat holes (see the included instructions for the order of the washers and the rubber pad), and use the provided wrench to tighten the nuts on the bottom of the toilet bowl. They must be tight to prevent the bidet from moving.  If your bidet slides around when you're done, be sure to tighten these bolts again (it can be done with the bidet on the mounting plate).

You'll slide the bidet onto the mounting plate until you hear a click. You can always remove it later from the mounting plate by pushing the release button located on the left side of the bidet (facing the toilet). It's a good idea to press the release button in when sliding the IntiMist onto the bracket. As long as you press the release button in firmly when installing or removing the bidet (so you don't wear out the catch), the whole IntiMist can be slid forward and reinstalled without removing the bolts so you can clean under it. 

Connect the flexible pipe from the T to the IntiMist with Teflon plumbers tape, and tighten it with a wrench.

Plug the included AC Surge Protector into a regular 110V AC outlet, and plug the bidet's 4' AC power cord into the surge protector.

Turn on the spigot. Push the bidet function so the tank will fill with water (it might take a minute or two as the air goes out of the tank and it's filled with water).  When it sounds like it's done filling, it will take a minute or so for the water to heat up.  Adjust the temperature and pressure buttons on the control panel (I always leave mine all the way up).

You can view the spray by pressing down on the seat until you hear a little click (the IntiMist won't normally spray unless someone is sitting on the seat). Try not to get hit in the face by the stream of water for the bidet and/or family nozzles. That's fun to try once, but after that you can test it by sitting on the toilet seat!
