Toilet/bidet combo

[mmalik]

Hi all,

Can anyone advise on where I can purchase a toilet/bidet combo in or locally around Northants. I can find them online but the delivery charge is extortionate. Can you also advise regarding the concealed round tap, where can I find this from separately?

Thanks

I think that this is because they mostly don't meet UK water regs.

I usually find combo units of any kind are a PITA, like them WC/WHB ones

There's a selection here with free postage, though postage probably factored into selling price:

[FONT=&amp]- A bath larger than 230 litres (measured to the centre of the overflow);*[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]- A shower unit of a type specified by the Regulator (but none is currently specified);*[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]- A pump or booster drawing more than 12 litres per minute;[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]- A reverse osmosis unit;[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]a flexible shower hose or other flexible outlet for use in conjunction with a WC;[SUP] #[/SUP][/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]a pump delivery pipe drawing water from a supply pipe;[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]greywater, recycled water, reclaimed water and rainwater harvesting systems;[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]water systems for fire fighting, including domestic sprinklers.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]For notification, the following information must be sent to the local water supplier (see the phone book for the address): [/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]- The name and address of the person giving notice and, if different, of the person to whom the consent should be sent.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]- A description of the proposed work and any related change of use of premises.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]- The plumbing contractor’s name and address, if an approved plumber is to do the work. [/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Consent will not be withheld unreasonably, and may be granted subject to conditions, which must be followed. If consent is not given within ten working days, it is deemed to have been granted. This does not alter the obligation upon the installer and owner or occupier to see that the regulations are fully met.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]4 Approved Plumbers [/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]An Approved Plumber will provide a certificate to state that his or her installation or maintenance work satisfies the regulations. If breaches of regulations are found in the certified work, the legal responsibility falls upon the Approved Plumber and not on the owner or occupier. Installation by an Approved Plumber of items marked (#) in the list above does not have to receive prior consent but on completion, compliance certificate copies must be sent to the water supplier, in addition to the person who asked for the work to be done. Details are available from the local water supplier of Approved Plumbers who have demonstrated their experience of plumbing work and knowledge of the regulations and have liability insurance cover.[/FONT]
