Cold water or hot water? If one keeps their hot water heater temperature set fairly low is there any reason a unit like this can not be attached to the hot water line instead of the cold?

Internal can handle hot water temperature however it would be too hot for you when temperature sets and all the remaining cold water from your line discharges even from the lowest heater set-up. Water discharging vary from how far is from your heater to the toilet. But normally, it discharges about half a gallon per min from your bidet at the most. Surprisingly, your rear does not feel like your other parts of the body so even in cold weather, you wont feel that cold. Another way of do this is to have mixing valve but it would be cheaper to buy the one with hot water bidet. Hope this helps.

you could hook it up to the cold water inlet instead of the hot water if you don't want to sacrifice any hot water from your main water heater. But be aware when you've used up all the hot water in this small tank its going to be a while before you'll get hot water again. if you plan to use large flows of hot water, I'd suggest you not do this. The hot water use for a normal bath sink is typically minimal.

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.

It should be installed at the furthest distance from the water heater so all locations have hot water each time the system is run. This was per the instructions. It is also how the system was originally installed in my house when it was built.

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.

No. The connection is directly to the line and you would have hot water on demand. I have this installed in a cabin that I built and so far works great.

No, you hook it up to the regular water line and you can choose hot or cold water from the unit itself

There is no need to wrap your hot water pipes, just let your hot water drip from a faucet. As water leaves your water heater it refills with cold water,both lines have water flow.

Ours is hooked up to an outdoor water hose. As long as the connector is the same, is a standard hose connection, it can be hooked up to hot or cold. We have really enjoyed ours this summer. I would suggest turning the water off when not using or the hose will bust.

I would imagine you could. But it is really just a "garden hose" for cold/cool water. But if you want something for truly hot water, like what comes from a hot water heater, for distribution where you can't tolerate leakage or failure you probably want something else. Easy enough to find, go to a good hardware store. Finally, this is just a garden hose. If you are concerned about heat I would look elsewhere.

Unfortunately I can't speak for that model. Mine has two 1/4 inch metal pipe connections located on the top. The cold water is supplied to the unit by my house's 1/4 inch copper line. It connects at the top with a plastic quick connector which is supplied. The hot water line comes out the other connector to a rubber hose and on to the supplied faucet. It is held by a plastic hose clamp.

The water will come out cold until you have used the faucet for quiet a while. I don't think you can have the water come out hot unless you just run the water.

No, it says never to use hot water in the unit, but it does just fine with cold water. I have never used the detergent , but you can use power washer detergent in it.l

It all depends on how "hot" your water heater is and how cold your line is coming in from the street. If your water heater is less than 125 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll get a cooler water than warm.

In my experience, you don't really need hot water. So little water is used that you usually just get room temperature water from both the hot and cold, and that is not uncomfortable. If you really want hot water you need to find some compatible tubing to extend the tubing that comes with the kit.

I have not installed the unit I bought most recently but previous unit I have owned would only allow the cold to stay on continuously. I assume the hot is more deliberate, (needing to be held) because of the scald factor.
