The Difference Between Bidet and Bidet Toilets
A bidet was originally a standalone sanitary fixture in the bathroom with its own water supply system. It has since evolved into spray bidets and bidet attachments, which are accessories with cleaning functions attached to toilets. These generally do not require electricity to function properly.A bidet toilet, in simple terms, integrates a bidet and a toilet into one unit, rather than having them as separate devices. In addition to the basic functions of a bidet and a toilet, it incorporates various smart features such as seat warming, warm air drying, and automatic lid opening. This creates a new product known as a smart toilet. These types of toilets must be powered by electricity to operate.How to Flush a Smart Toilet During a Power Outage
- Use Other ToolsAfter a power outage, all functions of a typical smart toilet, including the basic flushing function, become unavailable. The smart bidet toilet, known for its convenience, becomes very inconvenient in such situations. You would have to resort to using a basin, bucket, or other containers to manually flush the toilet.
- Battery FlushingAfter people realized the issue of being unable to flush during a power outage, most high-end smart toilets are now equipped with a battery backup flushing feature, allowing them to function normally even without power.
- Side Button/Knob for FlushingIn addition, some smart toilets have taken into account people’s usage habits and retained a physical manual flushing button. These smart toilets can use both automatic and manual flushing methods simultaneously.
