Bunch of small jobs you want plus one you don't...

*sigh*

This bidet has a sort of integrated spray in the middle of the pan that no longer works. It looks like it's made by Swan and is pretty old. The middle control I guess work(ed) as a divertor between flow round the rim and that from the spray. The former function still works. I guess it's multi function as there is a pop up waste that looks like it is controlled by the same part too. He wasn't sure as it's his wife who uses it and wants it fixed and she wasn't around.

A google search hasn't produced anything and normally I'd make my excuses but they are pretty keen on getting it working and have other stuff I'm up for. I'm sure if I say I'll do all the other jobs but not this one they'd still say yes but just on the off-chance, any thoughts? Any genius quick fixes without much hassle? It's pipework is pretty hard to get at (i took the pipework photo mainly because i literally couldn't see any of it without taking a photo blind) and I can't say I fancy taking the thing apart in any comprehensive way.

One of you must have been around long enough to be familiar with these relics of bum washing history

Would that be WRAS approved now?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

nope as theres no air gap unless its fed from a tank its a no go

 

[WaterTight]

...Get out clause for not repairing it?

 

[WaterTight]

Oh, may be fed from a tank actually.

 

[WaterTight]

I think the toilet and bath cold next to it is, so it probably is as well.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Only one way to tell

 

[WaterTight]

Try and stop the flow your hand? That usually the quickest way to find out while spraying the room and the customer.

Wouldn't the tank need to be a break tank and not just a standard storage cistern?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Depends on the air gap and set up would need to know more
