TOILET APPARATUS

摘要

A toilet apparatus includes a toilet bowl with a seat, a reservoir for containing water for flushing the toilet bowl, and a water jet device including a conduit with an inlet, an outlet, and a nozzle at the outlet and located in the toilet bowl for generating a water jet to clean a user. A thermoelectric heat pump having a cold side in thermal communication with water in the reservoir extracts heat from the water in the reservoir and a hot side in thermal communication with a conduit section of the conduit supplies heat extracted from water in the reservoir and increases the temperature of water flowing through the conduit.
