How-To- Install//Horow T05 Smart Toilet//Amazing Features

[@seejanedrill]

"What are your thoughts of the T05 Smart Toilet?"

[@jvjdrn]

Interesting, but not many US homes have an outlet in the bathroom near the toilet.

[@seejanedrill]

I had to run one myself. Maybe I should do a video showing how to install an outlet near the toilet.

[@rickdaystar477]

​@@seejanedrillI see you did a surface mount outlet tapping into the existing duplex next to the mirror..

[@seejanedrill]

Exactly, I didn't want to damage the tile.

Lady you are so easy going, a great instructor, and a knowledgeable professional. Once again thank you for sharing.

My pleasure

Jane!! Love seeing your videos on KZbin. You did amazing renovations at my Mom’s house in Montreal over 25 years ago. So happy to see that you are still following your passion.

[@vayabroder729]

Love that vintage tile; you did the right thing by keeping it. That is a killer unit!

[@Notwoke811]

LOVE LOVE this video!!! Not sure how I lived without my bidet and robot vacuum up until 5 years ago... best thing they ever invented for sure!!!

[@seejanedrill]

I agree

[@bmiles4131]

[@jomangeee]

i can't convince my roommate to invest in one, he says it is a girly thing!! disappointing

I lived in Japan and once I got out of the Navy, I made sure to bring this experience back with me. For those of you who are interested but maybe don't want to buy a whole toilet, Look into Brondell or Toto Washlet's. They are essentially a toilet seat that has many of these features. I have owned 3. In my opinion, the Toto has more features that you might not need and the Brondell models were a bit better for my situation. Also, great content Jane! keep it up!

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you

[@PongoXBongo]

Those bidet seats are great for renters who are unable to swap out the entire toilet.

[@kellyreilly7782]

Thank you so much for providing this video!!! I have no doubt that you can repair or replace Anything in a house!!!❤

[@seejanedrill]

You bet!

[@martaescobar7625]

I'm glad you kept the tile it's beautiful. Keep the curtains and shower curtain a simple white and let the tile be the star:)

[@Mixwell1983]

Im a bidet convert, got it when my lady had our 2nd child. I got a cheap toilet seat mounted one that Tees into your waterline. The waters cold but it cleans well and you use less to and feel cleaner.

[@sam12587]

Do you recall what model yiu have? I got one and it broke in less then a year. Don’t want to waste $ by getting another dud.

[@catblue6393]

Very nice! I'd like a toilet that cleans itself. You did a great job, Leah. I like that bathroom.

[@seejanedrill]

It does that too

[@jules-yi8rn]

A light in my toilet? This is 'Jetson-level' technology, Leah😂. Thanks for once again showing us the coolest/easiest way to do it right!

[@seejanedrill]

You bet!

[@kayh.2766]

Definitely a throne. Very different.

[@kennguyen1594]

What a comforting instructional video! Your soothing voice makes this video very enjoyable.

[@mctag5317]

Very informative and detailed on install - Only problem I have is plugging it in to power, receptacle too far away.

[@seejanedrill]

I did have to run a new outlet near the toilet.....I think I'm going to make a video demonstrating just that

[@insylogo]

When I used a heated toilet when visiting Korea, in the hotel, I'd get up in the morning and sit on the can only to jump up like WHO HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY TOILET. But then, the next morning, when I sat down, it's actually remarkable what a nice warm seat will do for your.. relaxation..

[@icooley7391]

Leah, you are one amazing woman! Thank you for always giving us info on all the new do-dads as well as going over the basics when needed!

[@Homer2q]

That’s fantastic! I have heard how much TP we could save if we had a bidet. I’m going to order two of these!

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Every woman deserves a warm throne 🤣🤣 Very nice, Leah. I'm still trying to figure out how to replace the handle on my convex toilet tank!!

[@Charlielizard]

Leah, have always wondered about these smart toilets. You always come through with an easy to understand instructional video and pretty much answered my questions. Thank you for the work filming, editing and posting to help out those of us who are not plumbers, but can do with the right coach. Thanks a million and Happy Easter.

[@seejanedrill]

Happy Easter to you too

[@kath121]

Thank you for saving the vintage bathroom! I hate seeing them being gutted...unless totally necessary. Would be great fun to do a fun vintage/retro wallpaper in...especially once you get a ventilation fan installed!

[@charcoalanderson8010]

I see a new video, I click! That toilet seems nice. I hope America will catch up with the rest of the world regarding bidets. They're awesome. Leah's also awesome! Keep up the stellar work.

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you

[@gmontoy153a]

Very wonderful and contagious attitude! I love it!

[@suzettecalleja3122]

So glad you kept those beautiful tiles. Sometimes the color are not very nice but your are great. Thank you for the video. When they allow incinerator toilets I will be ready. My county doesn't allow them. I think they are the way to go in saving water. You can use the ash on your flower beds.😊

[@eddiea3782]

What a cool looking toilet. Really nice install too. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed watching this one.

[@carmenbell77]

Your tutorials are always timely. I was recently wondering about this very subject matter. Thanx. ❤

[@rundeks]

A heated seat is great in the winter

[@seejanedrill]

Can I tell you...it's great any time

[@nathanielcholewa5708]

Glad to see new video's. For the price I will stick to the old fashion throne. Would love to see more plumbing and drywall videos and maybe more minor home repairs. Facia, gutters etc. Thanks your the best

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you

[@jlmr7808]

Awesome video as always. Quick question: So the valve tucks into the compartment that's cut out at the back of the toilet? I was concerned that I would have to relocate the water supply pipe in order to make a smart toilet like this fit in my bathroom.

[@drewcama2488]

Nice toilet. Should you sit on it to make sure the wax ring is fully seated before screwing the toilet to the brackets?

[@seejanedrill]

Yes, however the weight of the toilet helped to compress the wax ring

[@jessicaw1839]

I really like the vintage bathroom!

[@seejanedrill]

Me too! I'm glad I saved one.

[@llamaface6229]

Excellent teacher! Love your videos! I like the idea of tankless. Don’t understand why a full tank needs to just sit there 247. Is there a video on how to take a bowl out?

[@seejanedrill]

I'm not certain I understand your question

[@davedeatherage4902]

I like the idea, Thanks Leah, you're the best in renovation I believe. Thanks for these videos you put out. Dave ( Diy'er)

[@vegascece]

WOW! I'd get it for the warm water bidet feature alone! That cold water shock takes some getting use to. I guess the only issue with this toilet is the need to run electric near the toilet. TFS!

[@joehyundaitech7961]

Lea it looks cool I like it is it just me and my eyes or does it sit low also I like the heated seat idea and the light for at night I live with my 85 y/o mom who I help take care of the light would really come in handy for her at night for right now I keep a led night light plugged in for her also a a/c outlet would have to be near the toilet which in my case is not and that cord looks short I also like the idea of no toilet tank less parts to deal with

[@seejanedrill]

It doesn't sit low. Also I myself had to run an outlet to the toilet.

[@darexdarex]

Hi Leah, How high off the floor and how close to the toilet should the a/c outlet ideally be? TY❤

[@38blaze1212]

I Love your Enthusiasm! Keep doing it!

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you! Will do!

[@gjpokey]

OMG this is exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to plan the install of my T05 but I am on a concrete floor too. Did you just use the nylon sleeves that came with the toilet?

Glad to hear it!

[@clintprice2123]

That’s an interesting option, I wonder how many people have used a bidet. Nice to see your fresh ideas introduced into this house build. I used some more of your Mechanic in a bottle (old Leah video) and the machine runs way better now. The tile in that bathroom is in great shape, that house looks like it was well taken care of. Was it built in the late 50’s?

[@seejanedrill]

It was built in the 50's

[@redheadedgypsy1939]

Bidets have actually taken off since the pandemic's toilet paper hoarding, lol

[@AnotherClown01]

Hey Leah, Too bad my Toto with Bidet seat is only 4 years old or I would have saved with this toilet and yours has more features. All the best. bless you. cheers

[@kaasmeester5903]

Those toilets are awesome; I still want to install one at home (my wife keeps pestering me for one) I first came across these when I spent some time in Japan for work, and since the control box only had Japanese captions on it, it certainly was an adventure finding out what all the buttons did. 😁

[@dennyatnotts]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 3-prong power outlet in a bathroom before this video. Is that up to code? Great video.

[@seejanedrill]

Absolutely

[@Naenatify]

I really hope it's that's simple...i want one but my house was built in the 70's and all the articles on smart toilets say plumbing has to be redone in order to have enough pressure for the flush. Does this have a manual override flush in case of power outage?

[@NicoleWrazidlo]

Hello, thanks for the video, it’s been helpful. I’m wondering where the 9 volt battery should go? I had a plumber install my T-03 and they didn’t use the 9 volt battery and my bidet function doesn’t work. I’m getting error code E5-A

Horow recommends 12" from finish drywall to center of drain, I only have 11-1/2" (baseboard is flush with drywall). Trying to get an idea if this toilet will still fit, I'm OK with it being a little tight to the wall. Do you know how far your center of drain was from the drywall and how much space there is between the back of the toilet and the wall? Great video by the way.

[@seejanedrill]

I installed 2 toilet. One was exactly 12 in. from wall to the center of the drain and I have room to insert my hand behind the fixture. The second toilet I installed was 11 inches from wall to center of the drain, it fit but there is no space between the toilet and wall. Hope this helps.

[@jadr5989]

[@JB-xo5it]

My contractor installed with your video. But left the emergency battery out. How do you put or replace the battery since there’s hardly any space to remove the bracket?

If there is no tank, is the flushing pressure/volume less than with a toilet that has a tank?

[@auntmaryspals7978]

That toilet is very cool, but is a bit much for my mobile home bathroom. No electric outlet nearby and it's just too big. I am installing a simple bidet as soon as the weather gets warmer. I don't want to mess with my outside water shutoff in the freezing cold.

[@seejanedrill]

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I kinda wish that toilets like these could operate off of just 1 water supply line, but this is probably to isolate the heated water from the flush water. Also requires an electrical outlet (hopefully GFCI protected), and we only have one of those in the main bathroom, the other one doesn't! Yeah, I so want to re-do the plumbing and electrical, but I can't afford to do that right now...

[@seejanedrill]

I did the electrical myself in about 15 minutes. But supplies at big box stores are expensive.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Well, see, I'm talking about the whole house. I don't think the wiring has changed since 1960, and there's no actual earth ground in any of the outlets. And the breakers aren't labeled, so I'd have to go and figure out which outlets go to which circuit breaker. I'm sure I can do it over a weekend with the proper tools and big spool of Romex...

I assume this toilet clogs easily. I have never met a toilet I couldn’t clog. All the drain diameters are too small and they don’t have a powerful enough flush. I need one of the large commercial toilets.
