When we built our new house (3 years agp) my wife insisted we install a bidet in the master bath. It is a Kohler bidet with American Standard fixures. The thing has been driving me crazy because I can't figure out two problems: First, it loses water pressure suddenly for no apparent reason. We don't have water pressure problems elsewhere in the house, and it isn't related to turning on other fixtures. Once you turn the valves off and back on again, the pressure is fine but then could suddenly cut off again. Second, there is an extremely loud dripping sound somewhere in the wall in the drain line. The bidet is on the second floor of the house. It doesn't appear to be a leak, but the drain line does take a turn at the bottom of the wall on the first floor of the house. You hear the dripping sound in the wall while the bidet is running and for a few minutes after you turn off the valves. The builder said something about a seal, but won't come to fix it. Can you help me understand what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.
