In many states of Australia installing a Bidet is extremely expensive as they they need to have a full RPZ backflow protection device (bulky and expensive - $600+ for the part) to prevent backflow. (simple and even double check valves aren’t allowed for Bidets as they’re considered ‘high hazard’)
To add, If you’re even filling a bucket of water with a hose, it’s against regulations if the end of the hose gets submerged, that’s a ‘cross connection’
Depends where you are-

You’re talking about a full blown extra device. You can just add a bidet to your toilet seat.
Still needs an RPZ in Australia, regulations for backflow protection are super stringent here.
Backflow for what? It just attaches to the cistern feed.
Wow that is so complicated to install a simple hose. https://amzn.eu/d/2AN2BDt

That makes sense thanks for sharing, I guess other country probably have some other kind of protection by default.
for the record I was too lazy to install anything so I just have a squeeze bottle i use warm water in. no regs from big australia on that lol
