Ok so I have this bidet hose that looks like an old style kitchen faucet sprayer. It tees in right where the supply water for toilet enters the toilet tank. Obviously this is cold water. Certain people would like this to be warm water.
What's the best way to make this happen(running cost)?
1) I was thinking an additional recirculating pump hot loop from hot water heater that is activated by bathroom light switch. How would I control temperature going to hose so it's not too hot?
Or
2) Some sort of point of use device. The only thing that concerns me with this is not knowing how they work. Is it activated by water flow which then turns electric on to heat water or is it constantly maintaining temperature all day long, costing me money. Maybe I can do the light switch thing to a 240v relay to activate the device. But then again, does it heat up fast enough upon entering bathroom doing this way? I guess this depends on how it operates.
All great questions. Yes I have a similar post about this but that's for the sink and at the time, I was not concerned with temperature because we would be able to adjust with the cold water handle so it wouldnt be too hot. I never did anything with it because the thread didn't get much hype.
Maybe we can figure something out that works for toilet and sink. Thank you.
