Then, find your water lines in the back of the bidet. Close the valves for water by moving them to the right. Turn on the taps in the bidet to remove any remaining water out of the lines. Find the nut which holds each water supply line flexible into the bidet.

Then, look for bolts on the sides or back of the bidet, which might be holding them to the floor. They could be covered with caps. Then, remove the nuts and washers to hold the bolts. If you discover screws instead of bolts employ a screwdriver to take them out completely.

Disconnecting a Toilet-Mounted Bidet

A few bidets mounted to the toilet are basic attachments, while others totally replace your toilet seat. Make sure that you have a second toilet seat that you can install after removing the bidet mounted to your toilet. Whatever the design that you choose to use, the basic procedure for getting rid of a bidet in your bathroom is similar. Switch off the water that is connected to the bidet.

Then, use tongue-and-groove tools for loosening the bolts holding each supply line until they are completely disconnected from the T valve. Remove the T-valve from the main valve. Connect either the sink or toilet line with the valve for water.

Removing a Toilet-Mounted Bidet

After the water lines have been removed from the bidet and connected to the sink or toilet the only thing left to do is take off the bidet itself. Since the attachment is located on top of both the bowl in the bathroom and toilet seat, begin by removing the seat of the toilet. The bolt caps must be removed to expose the screw head. If you aren’t able to get enough leverage to take out the screws using the screwdriver, place an extension wrench over the nut’s side that is underneath and pull it clockwise using the screwdriver counterclockwise in order to loosen threads.

Once the bolts are removed then lift the toilet seat straight upwards. The bidet’s attachment could depend on the screws for the toilet seat to keep it in place this is what happens with the most popular bidets such as the Amigo.
