My home has very hard water... Is this OK? Solution ComfortSeat® electric units like the SCS-5000 and SCS-130 may be prone to blockage, due to sediment and hard water buildup.

They cost only $14.50 each, plus $6 S&H, and are available by Clicking here to contact customer support, or calling us toll-free at Eight Hundred Six One One Five Five One Five, to order. Our non-electrical units aren't as prone to blockage, and can be easily cleaned by suberging in a hard water buildup remover.
Is this a bidet? They technically aren't bidets... Per mandate, the federal classification of a TRUE bidet is exclusively the traditional stand-alone non-electric porcelain fixtures. The term "bidet" is often applied to other consumer toilet-mounted hygiene units as a convenience, but it is really a misnomer. In actuality, such units are designated "adaptive toileting aids," with "bidet features." This has been set to avoid consumers, plumbing professionals, and agencies from confusing the two different product categories.

Solution ComfortSeat® units take the original simple concept of the bidet, and modernizes it to help assist physically challenged users with special needs or people who want exceptional assistance, without the need to transfer to a separate washing unit. They are classified as an "Adaptive Durable Medical Toileting Assistive Aid." If you are planning on getting reimbursement, remember... DO NOT to call this unit a "bidet" (true bidets are not covered by most insurance plans, as they are considered luxury items), but a "Durable Medical Toileting Assistive Aid" when speaking with your agent.
Is the unit easy to install? Solution ComfortSeat® units are designed to be quickly and easily installed by an ablebodied person - NO PLUMBER REQUIRED. An ablebodied adult can typically install most of our units with just a flat-head screwdriver and an adjustable-wrench in under 40 minutes (penetrating spray may be used to help loosen old seats). A handyman can typically install a unit in under 20 minutes. Each unit uses a "T-Valve" that hooks up to the fresh water supply pipe behind your toilet, which supplies the unit and your toilet tank with fresh water. Several units require a 110V North American standard three-prong grounded electrical outlet within 4' of the commode (if one isn't available, one can typically be installed very easily, or use an extension cord). Irregular plumbing may require certain adapters, which are available at most hardware and plumbing supply stores. Every unit comes with easy-to-read instructions.
