I want to know if I add this with my basin, can I still use the basin tap for other use or does water only come out from this hose only? please answer as soon as you can because I want to buy it immediately

Yes, you can still use the basin tap for other uses. There is a diverter switch you push when you want to use the handheld bidet. It will stay on until you flip it back to the normal position. I've had mine for several weeks now and have been very happy with it and amazed with how much versatility it's given me, using it over the tub to wash out buckets, etc. No more sore back from leaning down under the tub faucet. The steel hose is long, which is convenient but also a little bulky to store. It appears to be excellent quality.

This isn't a water filter faucet. It has two lines- one for hot an cold. I suppose you could have your plumber rig it however you want. But it would just be regular cold tap water.

YES you can! I have a faucet that pulls out, and has a button to choose sprayer or regular water flow. I had to visit a plumbing store to get a little ring to help the pieces join together, as the ones that came with the unit were not the right size. But it works great! However, I can't really use the sprayer any more. It's okay... my excellent water filter is worth it. As long as you have a circular ring that you can unscrew, then you can use this filter. You just might need help with finding the right size for your faucet.

The supply valve that comes with the Watts unit allows you to tap into the existing water supply while providing a means of shutting off the water to the Watts unit. As long as the device you use has the same capabilities it should work OK. There is nothing special about the tap valve supplied with the Watts purifier. My unit is still working great. Glad I bought it. Have fun~

Can this unit connect to a shower or bathroom faucet? The aquarium we own is in my son's room. I'm tired of the 5 gallon buckets I have 3 going currently ...LOL I never realized I gold fish from a fair could have changed the world of fish as I knew it. I am greatful for any feed back. Thank you kindly, Hatti ����051;

Hi Dennis, If you are referring to the piece that allows the hose to connect to your faucet, you might be disappointed. The only adapter that came with my pitcher fits a "standard" (aka old-fashioned) faucet. If you have one of the newer faucets with a pull-out sprayer or anything other than a round opening where the water comes out, you will not be able to attach the hose. Now, if you did not receive any kind of faucet adapter in the box, it appears you are not alone... just give amazon a call and they'll help you out. Warning... the short little hose is a real pain so search around for the 18" extender hose and you'll be much happier.

No it is installed outside at the tap then your hose. Reminder when you first use it a burst of black stuff will come out that is charcoal and its temporary. This is a temporary filter when it gets dirty its a throw away.I love it so much better than a permanent one which you have to fiddle with under a sink.

Hi, will this fit onto a standard shower hose, like one that comes with a bath tub taps/shower hose combo? For instance, if I had a shower head (like a normal hand holdable one) and I unscrew that, will this piece fit onto the end of the hose? My hose is female, standard shower heads are male. If not, does a converter exist? Do you have the measurements of the fixing (are they standard SI)? I'm not worried about the positioning of the head thereafter as i have a ball joint bracket on the wall for the current hand held shower head, which means the head can be fitted to flow in any direction.

I hook mine to the utility sink in my garage without any problems. It comes with adapters to attach to your faucets. Think you can do it without any problem. Only problem may be the length of the hose.

As far as I know you have to have the water running from the faucet to get it to siphon. I use my cold water only on full blast to siphon and then a mixture of hot and cold to refill. I don't know if you can siphon it without running water all the time.

I just checked on mine and the outflow hose doesn't easily pull out (don't want to pull too hard as it already leaks). It might be possible to attach an extension to the hose it comes with or to attach a hose of your choice instead of the one it comes with - but it doesn't seem to be designed to switch hose.

It's funny, my wife and I were on the fence about getting this because we also couldn't find that info! Anyway, there is an outlet valve to which you can hook up another garden hose. Then the hose can drain wherever you like. We have it leading into a large bucket/pail which we periodically empty. Hope that helps!

You install this in the hole part of your sink. You will have to take out the existing drain piece that's in our sink now. It comes with the piece that stops the water. So, this assembly replaces everything for your sink drain. My plumber did not have to buy extra parts or fittings to install this in my sink. Hope that helps to answer your question.

I am not sure what is meant by "restrict flow when connected to just a normal garden hose?", so I really can't answer the question. I use the Orbit with my normal garden hoses & it works fine in delivering water at the appropriate times.

Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain. It would be possible to hook up a garden hose to it if you have the right diameter fitting to muscle it in from the outside and w/o actually blocking it. It may be possible to get a male fitting from the inside (through the top rectangular vent) but I suspect it would be hard because of the small area to work with within the knob cavity itself. I have mine hooked up to the gutter with the Oatey 14209 Mystic Rainwater Collection System. I actually punched a hole on the top of the barrel with a paddle drill bit to get a perfect fitting with the hose. Good luck. Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain.

The "Tap" is plastic, & small. You turn the handle on the tap and the water comes out slowly because there is no air for the water to flow. If you squeeze the entire jug, water comes out faster. Or better yet, remove the tap while the jug is in the upright position, then turn it over to get a faster pour rate.

I purchased the hot and cold water version but never hooked up the hot water line. I was afraid the cold water only line would provide a thrilling experience but it worked just fine, with toilet in inside room above crawl space in Indiana winter. IIRC I think there is a cold water only version for less money. I think I bought this about 3 years ago, still works OK. Hope this helps.
