As this unit does not have a hot water hookup, are people really ok with using cold water? I don't see any negative comments about this.

No it does not have a hot water hookup. At first I thought cold water would bother me but I got used to it. It feels refreshing. I don't see any negatives except some toilet seats may not sit correctly once tightened. I just added a few metal washers from Home Depot for $0.50 which solved the issue.

Yes, because they do not want to spend the extra money, but then they have no clue has to the superb comfort and features of a top of the line bidet.

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

Hot/warm water would be nice, but I think it would take a while to get to the right temperature. You would be blasted with cold water for a while in the beginning anyway. I have gotten use to the cold water only and don't see it as a problem.

I think it's a problem in winter, but there is no other option. At least I clean myself.

Sorry never tried with cold water. Even hot stuff stays hot only for max 30-40 mins

Hello,You would hook up a hot and cold water supply like you would for a regular shower as this functions as an everyday shower. Thanks.

There is a doorway between my sink's hot water line and my toilet, so my choice was cold water or not at all. Based on the reviews of people who got a cold-only model and said they were pleased with it, I bought one too. I installed it in January and didn't mind the cold water like I thought I might. If I get one for the other bath, I'll probably get a cold-only model again although that toilet is right next to the sink in that bathroom and would be easy to connect. Also bear in mind that if your water heater is some distance away, you'll have to let the water run several seconds before any that's hot reaches the bathroom anyway.

I actually had one without the warm water and took it off and installed one with the warm water. The warm water is extremely important to me because of the fact that it cleans you so much better, quicker, and really makes you feel more fresh. Not to mention the fact it is so much more comfortable.

R u putting cold water in? Don't expect it to cool warm water. Mine keeps cold water cold for at least 20 hrs.

You only connect to the sink line for hot water. Otherwise your cold line comes from the toilet supply line. They provided all parts for this. Yes you do not have to hook up the hot. The bidet has an automatic cut off if you use the cold only so it won't leak. Mine has worked great.

Hot water is only produced when there is demand for it and there is a short delay while the water is heated. So, you can get a momentary cool water output, but I would not call it a problem. In fact, I hardly notice if it happens.

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 would think you could use warmer water. We have our connected to a garden hose, which is is designed for, so it's cold except for any sun warming on the water when it's sitting out. It's plumbing pipe so should be OK for normal tap water temperatures.

I never poor the water in the pot until I'm ready to make coffee. However, I never use hot water. The instructions say to use cold.

I have both hot and cold water outlets on the side of my house. I connect a washing machine hose (one with a Y shape) to the faucets and then to the shower unit. Works great. If it ever gets warm again up here in New England I'll be able to use the outdoor shower again.

This unit heats the water to several selectable temperatures, so no need to provide hot water to them. Matter of fact, I recall the owner's manual cautions one NOT to supply hot water - only cold water.

Even though I have serious questions about one or two of what seems to me idiotic design flaws on this machine I would say the engineer is dumb but not stupid. They wouldn't be that stupid. Yes the warm water works fine. Even though the manual is too skimpy on explaining things, it appears to have a temperature sensor that adjusts the amounts of cold and hot that enters. Works great on mine.

My husband tapped into a hot water line within 5 or so feet. I'd read one review about a bidet with no hot water that the user was happy with. We have well water (55 degrees) so it's a little uncomfortable without the hot water. Since I've gotten used to mine, I'd rather have cold than none at all. Good luck,

Yes you can use it with hot water. You just have to use a hot water hose use a "Y" connector so you can also have cold.
