Tank Water Heaters

Tank water heaters feature a warm water tank that keeps a limited amount of heated water on hand at all times. The main benefit to a tank heater is that the water temperature remains very consistent throughout the wash cycle. The main downside to this type of heater is that the tank can run out of warm water during long wash cycles or if the seat is used several times in a row. If this happens, the unit switches to using cool water until the warm water tank can refill and reheat, a process that takes several minutes to complete. Additionally, tank heaters take up space at the back of the seat. This reduces the sitting area, making the seat less comfortable.

Instant Water Heaters

Instant water heaters warm water on demand. As a result, this type of heater provides unlimited warm water no matter how long or how often the bidet seat is used. Continuous, uninterrupted warm wash water is the main benefit to this type of water heating system. The main downside it that the water temperature can vary a bit during the wash cycle and there's sometimes a short spurt of cool water at the very beginning of the wash.
