To solve the following inconvenience: when a user forgets to depress a stop switch of a conventional water-cooled air conditioner, a water feeding pump is continuously operated until the temperature of cooling water reaches a predetermined value or a predetermined time period elapses, but due to repeated unnecessary operation of the water feeding pump, an exchanging cycle of the water feeding pump becomes shorter than an expected value because the operating life of the water feeding pump is set to about 300 hours.
There is provided a new water-cooled air conditioner which is comprised of a seated condition detecting section 13 for detecting the presence/absence of a user seated on a toilet seat, and a control section 1 for controlling the operation of the water feeding pump, based on an output from the seated condition detecting section, and therefore the operation of the water feeding pump is controlled based on detection of the presence/absence of the seated condition. Thus a time period of the operation of the water feeding pump, unintended by the user, can be shortened.
