What is the temperature of the water? Never had one before...think its a great idea.

Because this is a cold water bidet, the water temperature will be the same as the water that comes from your cold water supply.

This just hooks up to your toilets water line so the water is just as cold as if you opened up your cold water valve on your faucet. I've been using this model for the last 5 months and the coldness off the water really hasn't bothered me. I know that there are more expensive models that do hook up to both a hot and cold water lines of your bathroom faucet but I feel that would only be efficient if you had the type of water heater that offers instant hot water.

The water is straight from the cold water line. This unit doesn't heat the water. You get used to it rather quickly.

Cold tap water, connects to the toilet water supply very easy install mine works great

This bidet don't have anything built in it to control temperature it usually throws water out according to room temperature of bathroom

I've not taken the temp of the heated water. I don't know what birds can tolerate but none of them seem to have a problem. We've had maybe a total of 10 days below freezing this winter and a few of those had lows in the teens. That's really cold for us. Because I have a shallow bird bath, I didn't give a second thought to adding water ever day. Evaporation due to the heater? Maybe a luttle bit.

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.

Actually the water does not come out that cold! Currently as temps warming up so is the water!

I have not had any problems with water temperature. Whatever setting you leave the faucet at, is what you will get the next time you touch the faucet to turn it on. It is very consistent, in my opinion.

We had wind chills of 30 below and the water never froze, although I had a very thin layer on top of the water, as someone else mentioned. Actual air temps got as low as 3 below with no problems.

Not a good idea, but in an enclosed building like a chicken coop it works really well, outside temp drops to zero not heat in building but the water stays fine, not ever frozen.

I didn't use one. My water didn't really cool down too much overnight. I like my pool temp between 78-82 degrees and as long as the days were sunny I didn't have a problem.

Per the mfg. 120 degrees max recommended. That being said it would work on 160 degree water, however you risk overheating the motor.

Don't think so, the temperature of the water on the input side may determine the output temp. My water is around 55 degrees and i have seem temps close to 140 but thats the highest

Yes! Return it. I had one that leaked and they're not supposed to leak. I had no problem returning it and actually got a replacement the next day. Also, I have 3 of these fountains. Living in Phoenix, I like the water around 80 degrees. I left them on by accident during the night and it dropped the temp to 72 which was too cold to swim in, for me. It doesn't take long for them to cool the water down.

I purchased mine a fee months ago. It appears to me it should last longer. It was 6 degrees here last evening and my water wasn't frozen. Would definitely contact the company on that.

Just tested it for you. It heated cold water (with nothing else in it) to 165 degrees. Love my Cocomotion!

This Model only increases the temperature about 35 degrees over the incoming water temperature. This model would not handle the three at the same time, It'd handle 2, with a loss of about 5 degrees in my experience, which is nothing but if you water is cold from the city, it might not work during the winter time. if you live in a warm state, this would do for a tiny house, but if you live in a state with cold winters, go with a bigger model. no Eccotemp

Yes, but understand, it only gives you the water temp for the depth it floats at. The lake will have varying temps depending on the different depths where you suspend the thermometer.

I agree with Chris' comment. I am in metro Atlanta have 1 20' and on a nice sunny day I can raise the water temp 5 to 6 degrees in a 20,000 gal above ground pool. Hope that helps

The temperature is based more on the temperature of the water coming in than anything else . The unit I purchased was installed on a South American island with ambient water temps in the 80's so I get 1.2 gpm of water to hot to put your hands in , If you are in the northern parts of US or Canada where ambient water is 50 deg the flow rate is going to be greatly reduced checking the local water supply for average temp is recommented Hope this helps Ed P
