4. Installation Guide
The Arofa Handheld Toilet Bidet Sprayer is designed for easy DIY installation. No special tools are required beyond a wrench. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the water supply valve for your toilet (usually on the wall behind the toilet) and turn it clockwise to shut off the water flow. Flush the toilet to drain the tank.
- Disconnect Toilet Supply Line: Unscrew the existing toilet supply line from the bottom of your toilet tank. Have a small towel ready to catch any residual water.
- Install the T-Valve: Connect the 7/8" T-valve to the toilet tank's water inlet. Then, re-connect your toilet supply line to the bottom of the T-valve. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final snug turn (do not overtighten).
- Connect Bidet Hose: Attach one end of the stainless steel bidet hose to the side outlet of the T-valve and the other end to the handheld bidet sprayer head. Ensure washers are properly seated in the connections.
- Install the Holder: Choose your preferred mounting option:
- Toilet Tank Mounted: Simply hook the holder onto the side of your toilet tank.
- Wall Mounted: Use the provided screws to secure the holder to a suitable wall location near your toilet.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the main water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet tank. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten connections slightly.
Important Note: No Teflon tape is required for installation as it may cause leaks if used improperly with the included washers.

5. Operating Instructions
Using your Arofa Handheld Toilet Bidet Sprayer is simple and intuitive:
- Ensure T-Valve is Open: Before use, ensure the handle on the T-valve (connected to your toilet tank) is in the open position to allow water flow to the sprayer.
- Aim the Sprayer: Hold the bidet sprayer head firmly and aim it towards the desired area for cleaning.
- Control Water Pressure: Gently press the lever on the sprayer head to release water. The harder you press, the stronger the water pressure will be. Adjust to your comfort level for a soft rinse or a powerful jet.
- Release Lever: Release the lever to stop the water flow.
- Close T-Valve (Recommended): For safety and to prevent accidental leaks, it is highly recommended to close the T-valve after each use. This isolates the sprayer from the main water pressure.
6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Arofa Handheld Toilet Bidet Sprayer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the sprayer head and hose regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes uneven, the nozzle may be clogged. Gently clean the nozzle holes with a soft brush or toothpick.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If a leak is detected, ensure the connections are snug. If the issue persists, check the washers for wear and replace them if necessary using the spare washers provided.
- Winterization (if applicable): If your bathroom is exposed to freezing temperatures, ensure the water supply to the bidet is completely shut off and the lines are drained to prevent freezing and bursting.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Arofa Handheld Toilet Bidet Sprayer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow or very low pressure | Water supply valve closed; T-valve closed; Clogged nozzle; Kinked hose. | Ensure main water supply and T-valve are fully open. Check hose for kinks. Clean sprayer nozzle. |
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections; Worn or missing washers; Improperly seated washers. | Tighten all connections. Ensure washers are present and correctly seated. Replace worn washers with spares. |
| Sprayer lever is stiff or stuck | Mineral buildup; Internal mechanism issue. | Flush with warm water. If persistent, contact customer support. |
| Water temperature is too cold | This model does not have a hot water connection. | The bidet sprayer uses cold water directly from your toilet's supply line. For warm water, a different model with hot/cold mixing capabilities is required. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Arofa customer support for further assistance.
