Hybrid Water Heating
Electric bidets heat their wash water one of three ways: via a tank heater, an instant heater, or a hybrid heater. Hybrid water heaters are a great middle ground between tank and instant methods. Read more about hybrid water heating systems.

$299.00Is this the best bidet for you? Find out by taking our short quiz!Hybrid water heating bidets tend to be pricier than tank heater bidets but less expensive than instant heater models. They offer more warm water than a tank heater, but they usually don't provide unlimited warm water like an instant heater does. The main exception to this rule is the Bio Bidet BB-2000, which has an extra powerful hybrid heater that's able to produce unlimited warm water. The BB-2000 aside, most hybrid units provide 60-90 seconds of warm water, compared to the 30-60 seconds of warm water offered by a tank heater.
So exactly how does a hybrid heater work? Hybrid heating systems have a small tank heater, plus a low powered instant water heater. This means that there is warm water from the start, thanks to the warm water waiting in the tank. As the tank empties, the instant heater kicks on to prolong the warm water. Because the instant heater on a hybrid system isn't particularly powerful, it can't keep up with the seat's water flow rate. As a result, the water gradually cools off as the wash continues.
Since the warm water reservoir on a hybrid heater is smaller than the reservoir on a tank heater, hybrid units usually have a roomier, more comfortable seat.
