Bidet toilet seat question and thermostatic mixing valve question

I am considering this bidet toilet seat for my elderly mother.

Luxe Bidet MB210 Fresh and Hot Water Spray Non-Electric Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment
Amazon.com: Luxe Bidet MB210 Fresh and Hot Water Spray Non-Electric Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment: Home Improvement

Does anyone have any experience with toilet seat bidets that might help me make my purchase decision?

The hot water to the bathroom takes 30 sec to get warm with the faucet running on full. I was considering a thermostatic mixing valve but don't see how it would solve my problem as it cannot raise temperature of the water until the hot water makes it to the valve. Is this correct and is there a solution that would correct this?

I can't answer the bedet question but I have an Hand Grohe shower body which give me the desired temp almost immediately. They may have the same for a sink.

Toilet wax ring too hard?

H

huges on Feb 11, 2012

I bought a new toilet that came with all the necessary hardware and wax ring included. However, the wax ring seems too hard to me to create a proper seal. When I squeeze it with my fingers it does not deform. The wax on the previous toilet was much softer and it didn't leak. Is my wax ring too hard? Should I buy a new one? If so what brand would you recommend from Home Depot or Lowes? Edit: Wax is hard at room temperature.

Vent/Drain question

J

jimbob on Feb 13, 2012

Id like to move the sink in our bathroom, and its new location would be situated so that sink drain pipe would be directly over the shower drain pipe. Is it a bad idea to share the vent/drain for both with the sink drain being directly above the shower drain so it would basically be a long vertical drain down / vent up - with the shower and sink both draining into it? Not sure Ive explained myself well so ive attached a basic drawing. thanks[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NWUA3.jpg[/IMG]
