no hot water supply near toilet?

I tapped into sink hot water (after drilling hole in part supplied). I have yet to use the hot water since it takes to long for the hot water to reach the area, clean is clean hot water or cold. WJ

If you have a sink with a hot water supply line within a few feet of the toilet, the included hardware and supply hose should be sufficient to run the hot water from the sink to the toilet. If you do not have hot water anywhere in the same room as the toilet, it would probably be best to buy a cold water-only model (assuming you don't wish to incur the expense of having a plumber install a new hot water line in the room).

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,

I purchased the hot and cold water version but never hooked up the hot water line. I was afraid the cold water only line would provide a thrilling experience but it worked just fine, with toilet in inside room above crawl space in Indiana winter. IIRC I think there is a cold water only version for less money. I think I bought this about 3 years ago, still works OK. Hope this helps.

Buy the cold water only version and save a few dollars. No sense paying for a feature you can't use unless you run a hose clear across the bathroom.

I have a hot water supply near my toilet. It comes with reasonably lengthy hoses to hook up to the hot/cold water. Unless your sink is really far away from your toilet, you should be fine with the hoses it comes with.

Seems odd. Most toilets are in a bathroom with a lav (sink) close by. I simply drilled a small inconspicuous hole for the supply line in the cabinet and tapped the hot water supply for the sink. If you can locate a hot water line farther away, you might splice the supply line for the bidet using copper supply line or high pressure nylon line and fittings from the hardware store like the line used for evaporative coolers or ice makers. I know Ace Hardware as well as others have those supplies. Hop this helps.

It takes water from your bathrooms back cabinet so there is no hot or cold option. It's cold only. But it is ok. Better than have nothing.

Have you checked to make sure its not plugged anywhere? I run hot water from the machine thru mine periodically to keep it free from plugs. I use mine daily!

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.

Sorry, there is no hot water hookup. I don't care,though. I think it's great.

No...as the water feed for the toilet is a single cold water feed from the wall.

Aesthetically, you might want to put the outlet on the right side so that more of the cord is hidden behind the toilet. Also, make sure you avoid the plumbing in the wall for the toilet inlet valve. Other than that, it can be anywhere the 4-foot cord will reach.

It's cold. The reason I didn't care is because I know that there is no one in my household that is going to stand there and wait 7-10 minutes waiting for hot water to come through the pipes. I suppose you could install a tank-less water heater behind the toilet but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a cost-effective way to wash your hands in a small bathroom. There is a soap tray. That's probably more important than the temperature of the water.

Yes. You just need to have a GFCI protected outlet within a couple of feet near the toilet. If there is no outlet, I suggested installing one behind the toilet out of sight (making sure there is room to plug in the cord). You can't even see the outlet or the power cord on mine. If this is your first washlet, it will spoil you to all other non-washlet toilets. Be warned!

this is a SEAT, so the toilet works as usual. u must have nearby safe electrical outlet for the washout

in most situations, the sink vanity is right next to the toilet. So the kit comes with a "T" to put on the sink's hot water supply line. I have one bathroom where the toilet is across from the sink, I had to get creative on that one. It turns out that behind the wall the toilet was on, was a washing machine hot water supply line that I tied into and just ran the hose through the wall. Good luck. its worth it!!

The water is heated in the unit, the hand control lets you set the temp to your desired temperature. NO need for a hot water line. We have this unit on 3 of our bathrooms. really love it. Just one thing to know if you ever have a power outage you need to reset the button on the side of the seat. We live in an area with frequent outages first time we thought it caused damage. Just a push on the power seat button and we were functioning again.

I think you would have to be pretty creative with the hot water line...maybe route it under the floor if possible, or through the walls. For a lot more money you could buy a seat with its own heater also. Consulting a plumber would be a good idea as well.

It is easy. That's not to say you don't need tools. At minimum, you need some channel locks or a cresent wrench. Simply (1) turn off the water at the toilet, (2) disconnect the supply line from the valve and the toilet, (3) connect the bitet to the valve and the toilet. Ta Da! There will be a bit of water spill to clean up from what was in the supply line, but that isn't a lot of water.

Some people have done so. I didn't try it, didn't want to take the chance, called in a plumber. You do have to have a licensed electrician install a ground-fault-interrupt (GFI) outlet close to the toilet if you don't already have one.

DO NOT add hot water to a toilet. It will melt the wax ring and cause a leak.

If you don't see or have any visible water source to your toilet then most likely you will have to go into the wall. The S350 has a hose which needs to be connected to a water source, on normal toilets it's usually done via T connector.
