Building a "sprayer attachment" as an alternative to a Lota.

So as I was on the can the other day, I ran out of things to read--since I've already read all the ingredients of all cleaning products and soaps within reach. So naturally, I start looking around. I started looking at the pipe and connection that lets fresh water enter the toilet for flushing. I noticed it wouldn't be that hard to add a "sprayer" attachment that you commonly see on kitchen sinks.

I've seen it at places before, but I've always wondered I haven't seen this more often. This seems like a very easy mod as it just requires a few parts from home depot/lowes. I could probably build one for under $10 and less than 30 minutes of my time.

Before I experiment with this project, I was wondering if anyone of you guys have done this modification to your plumbing--and if you have any pointers.

I just made my own using parts. Turned out great!!!

They do have ones you can buy, home depot...make your own.

Dude ... you're the next millionaire ... though I want to be there when they announce you accomplishments and the Succesful Paki's convention ...:P

Mohsan, they use this concept in Europe, it wonderful. I dont know about how to install one but once you figure it out, I'd like one installed also. Let u know how it goes. Happy installing!!

We have the spray in our bathrooms at home, and lemme tell you...it's sooo refreshing! In fact, after experiencing one, you'll never wanna go back to using a lota!

As for how to install one...yeah I wouldn't know about that. But be careful because sometimes the toilet/pipes aren't compatible, which was the case in our guest bathroom. We had to get rid of the spray and replace it with a lota. As a result, nobody but guests use that bathroom now! haha

Someone make up a song for the LOTA. We owe it.

I prefer the simple single stream of water to the spray. It works better, doesnt it? Hmmmm, I'd have to try it to really answer the question though.

I think the IDEAL solution is really to have that shower attachment. If I get a home, I'll put the attachment through the water supply to the flush tank. Then I wont have to fill up the Lota anymore and will have infinite amount of water.

They are commonly referred to Muslim Showers (the authentic ones). We currently have one at the house. Feel free to come by and try it out. I believe your mod is an alternative that will work the same. When you do it, I wanna come try it out!

..you're the Muslim Macgyver
