#6 I want to install 4 hand-held bidets in a new home currently being built. Is it possible to have the bidets connected in a way where warm water is used?

While it may seem like a good idea to hook up hand held bidets to both hot and cold water; in actual fact there are quite a few problems associated with this.

* You must have a mixer valve within easy reach to be able to adjust the water temperature.

* Plumbers will not normally install hand-held bidets in Australia without the mandatory back-flow prevention devices. These are expensive, both to buy initially and to maintain (please see our page on Backflow Prevention).

* Water will normally need to be vented for some time – before the water flow actually becomes warm. This can potentially waste a lot of water during winter months, and is also in-efficient use of electricity to heat the water (which becomes cold again in the pipes while waiting for the next use).

* To install extra hot water lines after the house has been built, is usually not viable because of cost. We do sell an instantaneous electric water heater to solve these problems: Our Products > Accessories > Rezi Water Heaters. Model: H-33.
