Hello, I have just registered.
What is common in Japan is starting to become established in Germany, in my observation: the toilet with a bidet function.
I have an Axent.one, am completely satisfied with it, and am currently advising friends to get one as well.
Two years have passed since then, and more companies now offer similar products.
The question I have now concerns the warm water.
My toilet has a power connection and heats the water with a small on-demand heater. It takes about 3 seconds for the water temperature to switch from cold to warm on the skin – which is fine.
There is now a model from Tece, called Teceone, which uses the house's warm water supply, so it doesn’t need electricity but requires a hot water connection.
In principle, I prefer this to the on-demand heater variant, but in the relevant house, there is no hot water recirculation system. The water stays cold as long as it takes to travel from the hot water tank to the outlet.
In this case, the distance is very short – about 2 or 3 meters (6.5 or 10 feet) – but since not much water flows through such a “rear spray,” it will definitely take much longer than 3 seconds.
My Axent has a flushing function for the “spray nozzle” that extends where water already flows before the cleaning jet starts.
If this function were also present in the Tece model and thus warm water was already “on its way,” I could imagine it would be acceptable.
But I can imagine a lot – and hope for even more – yet no one can tell me for sure what will actually “arrive” (not come out) without having installed and tested it...
Or can they?
I assume only a few people in the world can relate to this question, so I would truly appreciate detailed feedback.

I wonder if it’s possible to modify an ECM with a direct water connection...
If you're going to do it, do it right. Starting with cold water is not an option.

Regarding the TeceOne, which operates without electricity, I assume it has a thermostat similar to many modern shower faucets. That should work fine.
However, as I mentioned before, I am now leaning towards recommending the AxentOne for this specific case. I have that one myself, and it works well (with electricity).
