Anyway to lower pressure going to the unit? Ours has an INSANE amount of pressure, and lowering the supply pressure messes the toilet

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

There is a way if you believe in "Beroulli Equation" in fluid mechanics. Simply enlarge the holes of the nozzle by using a small drill bit gradually to the desired fluid flow.

I do not pull the handle all the way up, the less you the less amount of water you get. I hope it helps.

The Luxe Bidet Neo 180 has a lever that is adjustable. When you pull the handle, don't pull it up all the way. Just pull it slightly according to the pressure that feels most comfortable. It is similar to having a dimmer on a light, you can make it as bright or as dim as you like. I pull the lever half way and that is the water pressure most comfortable to me. There is no need to adjust the supply pressure.

I have mastered this, after first testing it and getting the stab of doom. You know the selector knob? Don't turn it all the way to either side. Turn it maybe 50%, and see if that works for you. Think of it as a gain knob, if you know how those work.

I also worried about the water pressure since I have high water pressure as well as air from the main water line on occasion. That said, I have found the you pull the the water control handle on the control panel you can adjust the water to the pressure you find comfortable.

Flush FIRST then turn on bidet. The tank filling takes enough of the pressure off.

These instructions for Neo 120, written for our guests, allows one to gently increase the water pressure. We have adapted them for Neo180 model as well, since we have both.1. Pl. check gently the Rear Knob is on Nozzle Cleaning which is the dot to the right.2. Gently turn Front Knob to LOW-2nd DOT you will hear the water cleaning the nozzle.3. Now SLOWLY turn the Rear Knob towards CLEAN or to left; STOP! when the spray feels comfortable. Spray can get too strong; rotate the knob to right at once.4. When done, rotate the Rear Knob gently to Nozzle Clean or right dot & the Front Knob to OFF or left to shut the water.5. Drip dry for 15 seconds or more first, if possible.

I do believe that is an issue with the pipes in your home. I had similar pressure issues in an old apartment.

mema666, i think the issue would be how hard you thing is sucking. i have not seen my do this. maybe test the pressure that is being sucked up?

Mine was like that too. Filling the tub is an issue. I had to choke down my main supply valve to about half and put flow restricters on all the other fixtures. Kind of a pain but it saves water too. We all take showers anyway but could fill the tub just takes a while.

You have not gone wrong. The toilet is a BAD DESIGN. I fought a loosing battle for 12 years, trying to stop the leaking and trying to clear the swirling water of the sewage. I hope you have more luck getting it to work than I had.

I have the same problem. It worked fine in the first 6 months but now it stops working without holding down the pressure.

The only thing I can think of is you have to open faucets to let air escape. Just changing the water heater out should not effect the pressure on your system.

I found the water was leaking into the toilet because I was not turning the dial all the way to off. Turn until you hear the last click on "off". That solved my problem

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

I'm sure you already got your answer, but I wanted to add that we also have this toilet and Christopher's tip is right on. It does help to hold the handle down a bit for a longer flush for heavier jobs, but I'd definitely call American Standard - perhaps there is something wrong with the internal flush mechanism or water supply - maybe it's not feeding enough water back into the bowl?... Newer toilets do seem to be deeper toward the trap, but seem to have as less water surface area on top part of bowl, that's for sure.

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

got the same problem with one of the three installations. then tried my best to find some hard form rubber stripe, cut it into several pieces and glue them onto the four plastic supporting pads as cushions and reduced the body weight pressure that bended of the toilet seat and bidet structure. you can also try to find some hard packing poly forms to adjust such problem. good luck.

If there are steel supply lines to toilet, it can be a slow fill. Or low water pressure.

No, ours does that too. I don't know if there's an easy fix. I try to make sure it's pushed down all of the way before loading stuff in.

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

Actually blow up? Wow. We have never had a problem with one of these filters. Hook it up, flush it according to directions and it works until we change it. Could your water pressure be too high? We had a broken pressure regulator a couple of years ago but even then there was no problem with this filter. Instead, our water heater leaked and we couldn't get one toilet to stop running (replaced parts twice) before calling a plumber and finding out the pressure was very high. He replaced the pressure regulator and all was well. It was an easy fix, just not at all obvious to us. If your pressure is ok then I would hope you could get a replacement filter. Good luck!

This water heater needs a minimum of 8psi to keep the gas on. So if your running a washer or someone is flushing the water pressure drops. If thats the case you need to install a pressure increase valve. You can get from the hardware store or have a plumber install its not expensive. One other issue it could be if water pressure is not a factor. Your machine is overheating. Contact a plumber.
