...why would you need electricity for a seat with water?
- ghaff 1y agohttps://www.totousa.com/tips/toto-washlet-electric-bidets https://www.totousa.com/tips/toto-washlet-electric-bidets I'm not sure electricity is required for basic operation but at least most models are designed to be plugged in.
- johnwalkr 1y agoExcept for the no-power versions, electricity is required for bidet functions on Toto bidets. They work like normal industrial hydraulics. They have a small low-power electric pilot valve, which lets hydraulic pressure into the right place to move the boom in and out, and release water.
- lmz 1y agoThe washlet needs power for the seat warmer (and other functions). Toto (and others) also have unpowered add-on toilet seat type that just sprays and is manually controlled with a knob. https://in.toto.com/product-category/ecowasher/ https://in.toto.com/product-category/ecowasher/ (Not sure if this is available in the US)
- kelnos 1y agoThere are models that don't require electricity, but the higher end ones (that do) will heat the water before hit hits your butt, and also might have a heated seat as well as other features.
- numpad0 1y agoBecause the Japanese implementation is electro-mechanical. The nozzle auto-cleans and deploy from the big end like a fighter jet refueling boom with press of a button, sometimes on a control panel, sometimes via an IR remote. Things get interesting when the remote dies in the middle of the ordeal or the stop button could not be immediately located.
