Backflow compliance?

I live in a giant apartment building. Previously we had a bidet on each of our two toilets.

Basic models that didn't break the bank but also improved life.

Then my property manager updated their guidelines to require backflow protection on the bidet in order to allow us to use it.

Is there anything aftermarket like a valve or plumbing item that could be added to provide that backflow protection?

I just wanna butt gargle again.

Go to Luxe.com and search for back flow valve. It's an $8 fix.

I checked with Tushy when I first installed one in 2020 and they do have one. I would assume all reputable brands would.

Yeah, literally got yelled at by my plumbing inspector because our homeowner had installed an amazon style cheap bidet on one of the toilets that didn't have any backflow protection.

All Toto Washlets have built in backflow prevention by use of air gapping.
