Sprayer on hose near toilet?

Am I the only one that hardly ever uses the sprayer next to the toilet stool? I find it almost useless; I tried to used it for washing toilet paper down so that the sensors on the holding tank would give a true reading--it does not help.

As far as cleaning the stool bowl, I can rinse without using it.

Quite the opposite

I wouldn't do without it. RV toilets don't flush with the force of a home toilet, especially when not hooked up to city water. The sprayer is indispensible for erasing skid marks, moving stuck TP, etc.

No, I will not remove it--I might hurt resale value I just don't find it very useful.

Talking Sprayer on hose near toilet?

I just redid the cold water line in my '59 Flying Cloud and reseated the toilet. I installed a new sprayer and separate valve for the sprayer. The sprayer seemed pretty essential to me....

Maybe it is veggie powder or the fact we "clean up" after each use but I still find the hose assembly a pain in the A....I do the cleaning....

Sorry - couldn't resist

"I still find the hose assembly a pain in the A...."

Maybe you're using it wrong?

We've found that squeezing a water bottle provides as good and accurate a stream of water as does the "water saver" spray. It is a lot cheaper too.

I use the sprayer everytime I use the toilet. If it was not for the sprayer I would be cleaning the bowl after every use.

Less water, more power.

I didn't like the multispray pattern, so I plugged up most of the holes except a few with tooth picks I then broke off. The spray force is now greater, less volume flow, but cleans better. I also had this line leak at the back of the stool following a hard winter. Lotsa fun getting to it!

We removed ours because we never used it. Not the toilet, the spray hose. I'd be full of it to remove the toilet!

I agree. Another advantage is that when you're out in the boonies and trying to conserve water, this does it better than using the flush mode.

Heck, I thought you were supposed to use it instead of toilet paper.

How?!

This may be a dumb question but how do you even use it? I am hooked up to city water and it doesn't even spray.
