Bemis HV3000R Haven 3000 Bidet Smart Toilet Seat

Yes. The Haven 3000 runs a heated seat, warm water wash, warm air dryer and an in bowl night light, all of which need electricity, so an outlet within reach of the toilet is required. On a retrofit into an older bathroom that usually means adding a GFCI receptacle behind or beside the bowl, which is the part property managers most often miss when they budget the job.

Mounting covers a bolt spread of 5.5 to 7.5 inches, which takes in the standard 5-1/2 inch two bolt pattern found on nearly every North American two piece toilet plus wider spreads up to 7-1/2 inches. Measure center to center between the two seat bolt holes at the back of the bowl before ordering a fleet of these.

It heats its own. The Haven 3000 uses a reservoir style water heating system, so it connects to the existing cold supply at the toilet and warms the wash water itself. No hot water run to the toilet is needed, which is what makes it practical in a half bath or a unit turnover where there's no hot line anywhere near the fixture.

This is a full replacement seat, not an under seat attachment. The existing toilet seat comes off and the Haven 3000 takes its place, bringing its own lid, hinges and controls. An attachment is the cheaper route if all you want is an unheated cold water wash under the seat you already have. Go with a seat like this one when you want a heated seat, warm water, warm air drying and remote control, and you have power at the fixture.

A wireless remote handles it. Wash functions are posterior, feminine and turbo, with optional massage and oscillating patterns, and the seat temperature and warm air dryer are user adjustable from the same remote. For multi family and hospitality operators, the remote is a loose item, so plan on mounting it in the cradle and accounting for it at turnover.

Somewhat. The seat measures 7 in height, which is taller than a plain plastic seat because the unit houses the water reservoir, heater and dryer at the back. Worth knowing on an ADA height bowl where you're already near the top of the comfortable range, and worth checking on any installation where a wall mounted tank or a shelf sits close behind the bowl.

Yes, both. The Whisper Close feature drops the seat and lid slowly and quietly with a tap rather than letting them slam, which is the durability issue that kills ordinary seats in high traffic restrooms. The lid is the Infinity style, a flat top design you can sit on.

Seat and lid are plastic, and the hinges are plastic as well. That keeps the weight down and avoids corrosion in a wet environment, but plastic hinge posts are the wear point on any electronic seat, so in heavy commercial traffic they'll be what you inspect first. The unit is made in South Korea.

White only. It ships as HV3000R 000, the white finish, so it matches standard white vitreous china bowls. If you're standardizing across a building with biscuit or bone fixtures, this one won't blend.
