Materials You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following items:

• Old bidet spray (disassemble to reveal the internal rubber tubing).
• PVC pipes:
  • One piece, 40 cm long, with a diameter of ½ inch.
  • One piece, 10 cm long, with a diameter of ½ inch.
• PVC elbow joint: 90-degree, ½ inch.
• PVC pipe caps: 2 pieces, with a diameter of ½ inch.
• Plastic sheet: Used to create the decorative flower.
• Sprinkler head: Fits a ½-inch thread.
• Tools: Drill, screwdriver, glue, scissors, and spray paint (optional).

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Bidet Spray

• Disassemble: Remove the nozzle at one end of the bidet spray, leaving only the internal rubber tubing.
• Inspect the tubing: Ensure the rubber tubing is intact and free of any damage, as this will be the main water channel.

Step 2: Modify the PVC Pipe Caps

The PVC pipe caps will help guide the tubing and secure it in place.

• Take both pipe caps and drill holes in them:
  • Drill one with a smaller hole (just wide enough for hose).
  • Drill the second cap with a larger hole, ensuring the bidet spray can fit through.

Step 3: Assemble the PVC Pipes

With the caps ready, start assembling the PVC pipes:

• Attach pipes to the elbow joint: Connect the 40 cm pipe to one side of the elbow joint and the 10 cm pipe to the other.
• Add the pipe caps: Secure the drilled caps to the open ends of the pipes.
• IThread the tubing: Insert the rubber tubing from the bidet spray through the pipes. It should exit through the drilled holes in the caps.

Step 4: Connect the Sprinkler Head

• Secure the other end of the tubing to your water source using the original bidet connector.
• Attach a ½-inch threaded sprinkler head to the rubber tubing at the exposed end.

Step 5: Create the Flower Decoration

To make the sprinkler more visually appealing, create a flower decoration:

• Cut a flower shape from the plastic sheet. You can use scissors to create petals and other designs.
• Paint the flower in vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, or pink. Allow it to dry completely.
• Attach the flower to the sprinkler head , ensuring it doesn’t obstruct water flow.

Step 6: Test and Adjust

With the assembly complete, it’s time to test your new sprinkler:

• Connect the bidet spray to a water source and turn on the water.
• The pressure should cause the sprinkler head to dance while spraying water in a circular motion.
• If the sprinkler doesn’t move as desired, adjust the length or position of the tubing for better balance and flow.
