Hi All,

Hoping you friendly folk can help. I have 4 handheld bidets in my home. 1 has been installed correctly with a faucet (see photo), the other 3 have been connected directly to the pipe. This almost flooded my house! the 3 have been "disabled" now. I don't know what this means and how this has been done.

I have the correct parts now, but really struggling to secure a plumber to do the work. I'm wondering if it really is a straight forward job. I really don't like messing with pipes, I just wanted to see if it really is as straight forward as, disconnecting the water, and screwing on the faucet then turning water back on?

see correct photo and the one that is missing the correct part.

thanks

Sorry but none have been installed correctly unless they have their own tank with an air break.

they are currently not in use and don't work as they've been shut off. Am I currently at risk of contamination?
 
It depends, you may be. If they’re just shutoff from an isolation valve, then unless you can prove it’s shut off properly then it could still be. It’s a difficult one, as it’s the water undertakers that enforce the regulations, However I’d say it’s ok for now as long as you can guarantee the head will not come into a contaminated area. I would strongly recommend you get them disconnected ASAP.
