Tankless heating bidet seats are some of the most popular bidets at BidetKing.com. Compared to a tank-type or hybrid heating bidet model, tankless bidet seats are consistently top sellers and include some of the most feature rich and advanced features on the market today. In this article we will break down what exactly a tankless heating bidet seat is, how it is different from a tank-type or hybrid bidet, the benefits of tankless heating, and which models we recommend. So, what exactly is a tankless bidet? 

Tankless Bidet Seats vs Tank Type/Hybrid Models

When talking about tankless, tank, and hybrid bidets, we’re referring to the bidet seat’s internal water heating mechanism.  Electric bidet seats hook up to your home’s cold water supply and heat up the water internally for a comfortable warm water spray.  Bidet seats accomplish this in a few different ways. 

Tankless bidet seats, as the name implies, heat the incoming water supply on-demand, without an internal water tank. The heater is idle until a user begins a wash cycle, at which point the bidet will pump and heat the water spray together. In contrast, most entry level/budget friendly bidets will contain a small water reservoir or tank that it keeps heated. Most tank-type bidets will hold enough water to give you around 30-40 seconds of warm water per wash. After that, the warm water in the tank will be depleted and the spray temperature will cool down. Users will have to let the tank re-heat, which usually takes about 5 minutes, in order to have access to warm water again. Tankless bidets do not have this limitation and can provide endless warm water since they heat the water on-demand.  Hybrid heating type bidet seats have small internal reservoirs but also have the ability to continuously heat - a combination or 'hybrid’ of tank and tankless.

Benefits of a Tankless Bidet Seat

The benefit of a tankless bidet seat is having access to unlimited, on demand warm water. Users can enjoy a warm water wash cycle without having to worry about their warm water supply running out. Another benefit stems from the fact that, without needing the extra space to house an internal water tank, tankless bidet seats are much slimmer and sleeker looking than tank type or hybrid bidet models. Users can enjoy a more flush, sleeker looking model that can nicely fit atop your toilet. Energy conservation and efficiency is another selling point for tankless bidet models. Due to not needing an internal tank to constantly keep heated, a tankless bidet seat will only heat up the water when a wash cycle is activated. This saves energy and is much more environmentally friendly.
