With water it won’t get warm, it’s then only good for hanging the towels. That’s how we have it. We do have a socket below, but nothing plugged in. For bathing the baby, we have a heater fan on an Alexa socket in the corner, which you can turn on from the dinner table if you want to bathe the little one spontaneously. Although now it’s big enough that 21 degrees, which it has in the bathroom, should be enough for them... 5 minutes of the heater fan is enough for 25 degrees.
