It might take little longer depending your particular situation. The Cleanrite Bidet is made of quality materials and is engineered to provide many years of use. The only moving part is the manual trigger valve that controls the flow of water. Using any bathroom disinfecting cleaner, simply spray and wipe your bidet on a regular basis. The Cleanrite Bidet is not designed to heat water.
Some expensive bidets do heat water.
Therefore, our bidet is not recommended for use in extremely cold climates. However, cool water has certain advantages over warm water. Many individuals enjoy the soothing sensation of cool water against their skin - especially people with hemorrhoids, diarrhea, or during other times of inflammation of rectal or genital areas. Doctors have recommended cool water rinses for rectal swelling or inflammation. Also, with warm water, it is often difficult to feel the exact location of the water stream.
