PureWash® E590 Elongated bidet toilet seat

This bidet toilet seat is a great update to our bathroom. The installation of the seat is fast and straight forward and the bidet components work as advertised. The hard part of the installation has nothing to do with the bidet seat, itself. I tried installing a 15-amp outlet next to the toilet by tapping into a receptacle in an adjacent bedroom. This worked but I discovered that the circuit I used also had an exhaust fan and two 320-watt lights that are located in the master bath two rooms away... Read More

This bidet toilet seat is a great update to our bathroom. The installation of the seat is fast and straight forward and the bidet components work as advertised. The hard part of the installation has nothing to do with the bidet seat, itself. I tried installing a 15-amp outlet next to the toilet by tapping into a receptacle in an adjacent bedroom. This worked but I discovered that the circuit I used also had an exhaust fan and two 320-watt lights that are located in the master bath two rooms away. The master bath and the bathroom with the new bidet seat, share three GFI-protected 20-amp outlets. I removed the newly installed cable from the 15-amp circuit and tapped into the GFI load cable (not the GFI line cable), creating a 4th 20-amp GFI protected outlet next to the toilet with the new bidet seat. This 2nd configuration works and the lights in the master bath are no longer blinking. I have a lot of experience with home electrical systems so I felt comfortable adding an outlet next to the toilet in the aforementioned bathroom. I also have experience with water supply connections and had no trouble modifying the water supply connection to the toilet to accommodate the water inlet for the bidet seat. The electrical work took place in the attic over a period of days and the plumbing part took about one hour. The bidet seat installation took about 20 minutes. I think a dedicated 15-amp circuit would have worked fine assuming that no other circuits would be added in the future. If you are adding a new circuit coming from the electrical panel, it would be advisable to add a dedicated 20-amp GFI circuit. With respect to the bidet seat installation, the instructions are slightly misleading where it says to slide the seat towards the attachment bracket. The bracket has a "lip" that the seat must ride over to drop, and then snap, into place. I found that you can slide the seat until there is contact with the bracket and then slightly lift the seat over the lip and use a gentle downward force to snap the seat into place. I also found that while attempting to slide the seat into its bracket, one side would connect but not the other. In this case, the seat was floating above the edge of the toilet bowl on the unconnected side. I thought it best not to try to force the unconnected side into place but to reverse the process and try again. I found that removing the seat for cleaning works exactly as indicated by the instructions.  Read Less

What a great product ! We have had the KOHLER C3 155 Electric Bidet Seat for about two months now and we love it. After installing an adjacent GFI plug, the package comes with all new flexible white piping and fittings to connect to a toilet.

What a great product ! We have had the KOHLER C3 155 Electric Bidet Seat for about two months now and we love it. After installing an adjacent GFI plug, the package comes with all new flexible white piping and fittings to connect to a toilet. It has many unexpected features: The seat is automatically kept warm or cool as needed. It's washing and drying functions will only operate when you're sitting on. With the press of a button, a nozzle automatically adjusts as needed to your front and rear. The water is automatically heated or cooled as needed. The stainless steel washing nozzle automatically adjusts to spray or pulsing as desired. When a cycle is completed, the nozzle retracts & automatically cleans itself. When washing is completed, a dryer blows cool or warm air as desired. Toilet paper is no longer needed . When you leave the toilet seat, an automatic deodorizer filters the surroundings. It has a built in blue light that kills bacteria. It turns on automatically when you turn the bathroom lights off. It doubles as a great night lite. Both Kohler and Home Depot had a home run with this product. We love it, BOBM1  Read Less

Out of all the heated items that can finish off a bathroom… heated towel rack, heated floor, etc… this is by far the best. As a bathroom fixture that is peculiarly amiss in nearly every bathroom in the United States, the bidet is a curious contraption. However, I’m happy to say that this high tech bidet is worth every penny! A super warm seat to sit down on and hot water to clean up! Installation is fairly easy.

Out of all the heated items that can finish off a bathroom… heated towel rack, heated floor, etc… this is by far the best. As a bathroom fixture that is peculiarly amiss in nearly every bathroom in the United States, the bidet is a curious contraption. However, I’m happy to say that this high tech bidet is worth every penny! A super warm seat to sit down on and hot water to clean up! Installation is fairly easy. Remove the old seat, thoroughly clean the toilet and remove the water line to the tank (there are two hoses and a T connector provided) and you’re ready to go. The instructions say you’ll need an adjustable wrench and Philips head screwdriver. I used a crescent wrench, a flat head screwdriver (there were no Philips head screws to be found) and a shallow pan to catch the drips from removing the water line from the tank. I’ve changed out enough toilets to know that this is a necessary thing, but I’m sure many people won’t know this and end up with a puddle of water on their bathroom floor. Aligning the bracket was an interesting process. I just to push it as far back as possible for the first dry run, which was almost where it needed to go. The bracket attaches just like any other toilet seat does. With that done, you tighten it on, and then slide the bidet seat onto the bracket. It snaps right into place (once you jiggle it around a bit). I found that I had to connect the water line to the bidet before snapping it onto the bracket, otherwise I could not access the nut on the water line. Fully installed, I tested it in the manner suggested in the instructions: put plastic wrap over the toilet, place your right palm on the seat and press a button .This worked, and the wand came right out and did its thing. The functionality is quite varied, and there are plenty of ways to clean yourself up! There is also a night light, but its blue glow was so bright I had to disable it. Another downside, is that because it has a small water tank in it, the unit is very large. This decreases the side of the actual seat, so you’ll see that your elongated toilet seat shrinks down to a round toilet seat. There is a fan to dry off after a spray… but unless you’re going to sit there for twenty minutes, it doesn’t really do anything.  Read Less

Per Kohler's installation manual this bidet requires a 120 volt 15 amp dedicated line with a 15 amp GFCI outlet placed within 32 ins. of the bidet seat. I don't have that. I also don't have an attic and I don't have a basement. Installing this line will require a few hours in a 3 ft. high, dirt floor, crawl space. In the spring I'll do a proper installation but for now this is getting powered up with a 12 ga. 20 amp extension cord plugged into a 15 amp GFCI outlet in the next room. The installa... Read More

Per Kohler's installation manual this bidet requires a 120 volt 15 amp dedicated line with a 15 amp GFCI outlet placed within 32 ins. of the bidet seat. I don't have that. I also don't have an attic and I don't have a basement. Installing this line will require a few hours in a 3 ft. high, dirt floor, crawl space. In the spring I'll do a proper installation but for now this is getting powered up with a 12 ga. 20 amp extension cord plugged into a 15 amp GFCI outlet in the next room. The installation of the seat is very simple, the only tools you'll need are a flat head screwdriver and an adjustable wrench or a pair of pliers . Remove the old seat, clean and disinfect the bowl, screw down the new mounting bracket and snap on the seat. The mounting bracket has a large range of adjustability to get the seat positioned just right. The water connection is done with the supplied chromed metal "T" fitting placed between the supply line and the toilet tank. The water feed from the bidet screws onto this fitting. Plug in the power cord and you're done. They also included a supply line, from the tank to the "T" fitting, in the event yours is iffy. I replaced a non-electric bidet seat and was able to reuse the old "T" fitting. The seat has a built-in safety switch which disables all function until it senses weight on the right side of the seat. The LED control panel offers a ton of features. Front cleaning (3 pressure settings), rear cleaning (3 pressure settings), automatic wand extension for manual cleaning, dryer (3 speed settings), heated seat (3 temperature settings), water temperature (3 temperature settings), oscillate / pulsate spray, manual UV sanitize button and deodorizer button. There's also a very cool night light which can be switched off if you don't want it. For cleaning purposes the seat is easily removed from its mounting bracket with a push of a button. If required, the self-cleaning stainless steel retractable spray wand can be cleaned manually with a soft bristled brush and hot water. There's also a 45 minute UV disinfecting cycle which activates automatically once every 24 hours. My well water has a high sediment content, I have filters throughout the house, Thankfully Kohler included a removable filter screen to trap the contaminates before they reach the water reservoir. The seat's a pleasure to use. No more icy cold water, although, that was an eye opener first thing on a winter morning. I lived in Europe where bidets are a common fixture and I can assure you that once you own one you'll appreciate this appliance. Kohler includes a 3 year limited warranty from the date of installation for normal residential use.  Read Less
