Toilet spray

[Colo_Native]

I have a Thetford aqua magic V and I want to add a sprayer it is part# 33226 per Thetford. Has anyone done this? and is it worth the cost?

Can you say how your outside shower (if you have one) performs pressure-wise? It should be the same pressure.

The outside shower had plenty of pressure/flow. It did not need to share the water source with the toilet flushing at the same time.

I did not want to be limited to the sprayer only working when the toilet is flushed. So, instead of snipping the tip off the hose barb on the flush valve I added a tee in the toilet line with 2 valves between the tee and the sink sprayer I bought. The first valve is to throttle the water flow so I can adjust the flow to suit. I have too much flow and pressure when on city water and get a lot of splash back from the bowl and get a little splash back when on the pump. The second valve is the shut off valve only. I do not rely on leaving the pressure on the sprayer at all times so I turn the valve on when using and shut it off when done.

I also added another shut off valve between the tee and toilet. I had a leaking flush valve that needed replacing. There was a lot of water around the toilet and no way to shut it off. That won't happen again.

Yes, use the nipple on the back of the toilet to attach to. And when winterizing, be sure to runink stuff in it. Ir not they will freeze!

YES........

The sprayers are connected to a stub on water valve. Just drill out end of stub and attach sprayer hose with clamp.

REASON.....they are connected that way so that water pressure is on sprayer ONLY when you are operating the toilet water valve. That way FULL LINE pressure is never on hose/spray head unless you have toilet valve open.
Just like the way kitchen sprayer is connected..no pressure unless faucet open.

The spray head can/will leak-----hose can blow off if under full line pressure so don't install with a 'T' in supply line.......potential flood

I agree, there is a little stub in the back and you just cut off the end and attach a Home Depot type kitchen sprayer, I used a white one. Just cut off any fitting on the hose, slip it over the nipple and put a small hose clamp on it. Finish with a broom type clip on the wall to hold the sprayer.

Is it a kitchen sink sprayer because that what they look like

Yes, it is a kitchen sink sprayer and hose. When we bought our Landau, the toilet sprayer was partially clogged, and when a couple of CLR treatments didn't open it up, I replaced the head with one from a local hardware store for about $4.

Ours came with one and yes, we use it. Sometime the bowl needs a rinse with a little power as standing water in the bowl doesn't do the job. Good for rinsing after cleaning it too.

[old_guy]

all you have to do is put a "T" in line and install the sprayer.
