Are you happy with the non-warm water model? I am thinking the cold water may be a little jarring!

I am happy with the cold water model, yes. But you're right: it can be jarring--but only at first, and/or if you inadvertently pull the lever all the way in one shot. It's a new thing at first and there's no question that you'll likely be a little out of your comfort zone when you first give it a try. But then it's like anything else: you become accustomed to it and your body knows what to expect, and it begins to feel quite normal. This advice applies to both the mechanism and the temperature, really. In short, it's fine, but there's a short period of adjustment. If you're really worried you can put on a seatbelt for the first try, just in case. :-) I am happy with the cold water model, yes.

Not a problem...this is my second "non-warm" water bidet and it doesn't bother me...just start slowly!!

It's not too bad. It can be a little eye-opening on cold winter mornings, but overall I don't usually notice the temperature of the water.

It doesn't seem to bother anyone in my family :-) Even in the early morning....

I am VERY happy with the cold water only model. I too was concerned it would be kind of "shocking," but it is not. It honestly feels quite refreshing. The only jarring you are going to feel is if you turn the I/O lever all the way open too fast, as the water pressure will surprise you.

I had the same concern but it has worked fine. Refreshing, comes to mind. And as I thought about it I came to fear a burst of too hot water more than cold. I've not used the warm/cold model but I don't think there would be a lot of difference in that when you turn a hot faucet on it takes a while before it is hot.

We have a warm water type and the extra cost was a waste of money. It takes to long for the warm water to get through the lines. You sit there with cold spraying on your tush until the warm gets there. Just use the cold and be done with it.

I have not experienced this model in the winter since it was purchased in the warmer months but I imagine with the outer insulation around the tubing it should not freeze up as fast as the previous model I still own. The previous model with the insulation around the tubing would freeze up in the winter months. I kept it in my car at all times as a water source.

I only tried warm water (not hot) because it contains plastic parts. for the warm water, I feel 5-6 hours it can keep the temperature. of course it is related to the environment temperature and how warm the water you input also.

Yes, Lukewarm water is fine but I'd also consider paying $5 more for Bluewave or something else with a little tip to have air flow for smooth water flow. This one, I have to leave the cap slightly open vs Bluewave brands w an air breather.

Actually a valid question, you will experience a certain amount of warm water when the cold water is turned. But I myself personally have never found it to be a problem. The warm water on the cold side is quickly flushed out and cold water comes in a few seconds. Hope this helps, May God Bless.

Yep, the heat may be shut off (via a switch in the back) thereby just giving room-temp water. The cold water has a stat / adjustment nob. I've simply left it at the factory setting...cold but not too cold for me...

I'm thinking that's just a fancy way of saying that it uses radiant heat coils to warm up the water as well as your feet. In other words, marketing jargon. You can't actually see the heating elements but only feel them. It does work pretty well and feels great on a cold night, which is all that matters.

On the winter mode setting and low flow setting the water is extremely hot. Our unit only ran for a short time, however. I'm not sure what failed, perhaps I needed a pre-filter? A downside is that I would have to send the unit to South America for servicing.

Same issue with this and a former model for us. The solution is to turn it down. Yes the water isn't as hot, but...

Lol ya.it changed my life.I hope you get one.don't get the warm water one its pointless because water is always cold until it heats up .

We have had ours for a couple of months now. We like it very much - never had the problem that you are talking about. Like anything new, it is a good idea to use it a few times by heating it up and throwing away the water. The only thing about it is that it is a bit slower to heat up than our previous kettle. We discovered the reason is that the heating element is sealed below. One could actually brew tea in this model - looks like it would be easy to clean because of the design.

Mine it's good. Even though I wish I could get hotter water, but it still works okay

I find the warm water gives me more of a clean feeling. I own both models and the cold only option works just fine but the warm water is just a nicer feature. Although it was kind of annoying drilling a hole in the side of my vanity in order to hook up the warm water supply. So in the end, it's just a matter of preference.

Yes, the cold water is a little warm, but it flushes through within a few seconds. Certainly not long enough to be objectionable. It's a small price to pay to have the hot water available within seconds! This pump is wonderful!!!

I have only used mine once but the water stayed warm. I'm not sure how hot it's suppose to be. The manual mine came with says it had the heat wave technology.

You wont really feel it being warm becuase it is meant to just keep the water from freezing but not to make the water warm. However mine only lasted for a year and last winter I had ice in the bowl every morning that I had to break up. think I am going to buy a different one for this winter

Yes and the cold water is also room temperature, it does not get cold, horrible, do not buy, worse customer service ever they do not respobd and will not do anything about the cold water temperature
