A Guide to the PureWash Bidet Faceplate: Every Button Explained

A PureWash Bidet is not like your traditional toilet seats! It has functions such as front wash, rear wash, heated seating, warm air drying, and setting personal preferences. It may sound complicated at first. However, once you understand how each button works, you will easily be able to use a PureWash bidet. 

This guide will help you understand and explain every major function of a PureWash Bidet Faceplate, how to use it, and how to personalise your experience from day one.

Understanding the PureWash Control Panel

Depending on the model, PureWash bidet seats can be fitted with a side-mounted faceplate or a handheld remote control. Both interfaces are intended to offer easy access to the same basic features such as front and rear wash modes, adjustable water pressure, water temperature, heated seating, drying and nozzle cleaning.

The controls are laid out in a logical way so you can make adjustments while seated. Don’t try to memorize all the icons right away. Learn the purpose of each function. A few uses and you’ll be as comfortable using the bidet as any other bathroom fixture.

Every PureWash Button Explained

The layout of the buttons may vary slightly between PureWash models but the basic functions are the same. All controls are designed to improve comfort, hygiene or convenience, allowing you to tailor your cleansing experience to your preference.

Rear Wash

It is the primary cleansing spray for everyday use. Rear wash activates a gentle stream of warm water for effective cleaning after using the toilet. 

Front Wash

Front wash is for soft personal cleansing, offering a gentler spray at a different nozzle position. Use this function for improved comfort and better daily hygiene.

Stop

To stop any function in progress immediately, use the stop button. You can press it whenever you want to finish the cycle or change your settings.

Water Pressure Adjustment

You can increase or reduce the spray with this button. Start with the lowest setting and increase the pressure until you find a level that is the most comfortable to you.

Water Temperature

PureWash gives you the option to choose your preferred water temperature. Warm water makes the cleansing process a little more comfortable, particularly in the colder months.

Heated Seat

The heated seat function allows you to keep the seat at a comfortably warm temperature before and during use. There are multiple temperature setting options available. You can choose the one that feels the best for you.

Warm Air Dryer

After washing, the warm air dryer gently dries instead of relying entirely on toilet paper. You can adjust the temperature to suit your comfort and cut down on paper.

Wash Oscillating

The oscillating function moves the spray nozzle back and forth providing more extensive cleaning coverage for a more thorough clean.

Pulsating Spray

The pulsating spray uses alternating water pressure for a softer, massage-like cleaning experience rather than a steady stream.

Self-Cleaning Nozzle

PureWash keeps its spray nozzle clean by automatically rinsing it before and after every wash cycle. Top models such as the PureWash E910 also include UV technology that automatically sanitises the nozzle.

Automatic Deodoriser

Some PureWash models have an integrated deodorisation system to help reduce odours during use, keeping the bathroom fresher without the need for additional products.

User Presets

Premium PureWash models allow several users to save their preferred settings for water pressure, temperature, seat heating and spray preferences. This means every member of the family can enjoy a personalised experience at the touch of a button.

How to Use PureWash for the First Time?

Using a PureWash bidet is much easier than first-time users anticipate. When you naturally sit on the seat, the occupancy sensor activates the system. 

Choose Rear Wash or Front Wash as you like. Begin with a lower water pressure and make adjustments to the temperature if needed. Turn on the oscillating or pulsating spray mode if you want wider cleansing coverage.

After washing is done, use the warm-air dryer before pressing Stop to end the cycle. It self-cleans the nozzle after every use and retracts into the seat ready for the next use.

After just a few uses most people feel comfortable navigating all functions without having to look at the controls.

Faceplate vs Remote Control: Which Should You Choose?

A side-mounted faceplate keeps the controls attached directly to the seat for easy access when needed. It’s a convenient choice for users who want simple, straightforward operation without a separate accessory.

By removing the visible controls from the seat itself, a handheld remote control provides a cleaner, more minimalist look. It also allows easier access to advanced functions, including user presets and additional comfort settings without having to reach to the side.

Neither is better than the other, it just comes down to personal preference and how you prefer to interact with your bathroom fixtures.

Getting the Most from Your PureWash Bidet

Once you understand the basic wash features, spend some time exploring the additional features. Adjust the water pressure to suit your preference, explore the oscillating and pulsating sprays, and enjoy the heated seat on cold mornings.

If your model has user presets, save your favorite settings to make each visit feel personal. A warm-air dryer can also help you use less toilet paper over time, and it gives a more comfortable finish, too.
