It connects to the faucet and sits on the countertop... The instructions say not to run hot water (only cold) through it. I think hot might mess up the filter media.

You can not use hot water with this filter. It is designed to attach to the faucet so under sink is not the best location.

Yes, in my opinion. I was thinking exactly the same thing. It would simply reheat (and dilute) the the cooled water laying in the hot water pipe. If you only used small amounts of hot water each time, like washing your hands in a half bath, for instance, you may as well use cold water supply because the same water may be heated twice. For showers and dish washing it would work great and simply pass the hot water from regular tank without even kicking on and you won't run out of hot water after just 2 gallons. I think the temperature of the small tank should be 2 to 3 degrees cooler than the regular tank but good luck adjusting it that close. Thanks for asking. Yes, in my opinion.

Yes it can....just don't submerse it in water. I rinse it off after each use in the sink as well. Has been great for me and my wife so far.:)

This tub is so well made and durable I don't think hot water used in doing laundry would pose any problem. I do not use it for hot water though. Mine is used outdoors to hold composed manure in the garden. No signs of breakdown even after many night temps below zero degrees.

I have used mine in my bathroom for a very long time. If you have a sauna type situation then it maybe could be a problem. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer.

!Yes! Well engineered and the best service agreement you can get from any company! Use it under my bathroom sink as hot water took a long time to come on! Have instant hot water and also cold when needed with this unit!

The water is most likely coming from a kitchen or bath faucet and should be safe, however if you connect a garden type hose to it, it's a question as to how safe or sterile the hose is.

No. There is no benefit whatsoever to letting it sit in water. Mix the cleaner with the required amount of water, turn the disposal on, and pour it in. This will help the bacteria splash up the walls of the disposal. Do not run water in the sink for 6-8 hours after (this includes your dishwasher as it probably drains into your sink line). Do not use hot water or you will kill the bacteria. Too warm to drink but too cold to bathe in water temp is fine. I even used cold water with great results.

If your hot/cold water valve(s) is enclosed (say, under the sink in a cabinet) then you will need to drill a small hole for the tubing to reach it inside. Other than that, nothing drastic. Just be sure it's a 2-piece toilet. The unit didn't fit our old 1-piece American Standard toilet.

Most of the heat rises through the vents in the top (unlike a radiant heater). So if the bathroom is decent sized, it should be fine. I would at least a foot around it to be safe though. I have mine on an aluminum drip pan (2' x 3' - like the kind put under cars) in the living room, on a carpet. I only do this for a little extra safety and because it rolls more easily. And because the heat rises, the sides only get warm and don't get hot enough to burn badly. I would guess a pet wouldn't even get burned if they brushed against it. They wouldn't do it again but it's relatively safe.

I don't see why not. But I did not put hot water in it. FYI it does not have a drain plug.

It could be! However, units such as these are relatively low volume units intended to produce drinking and cooking water only. If you connect to the cold water line supplying the main faucet system it would also run to the dishwasher and sink, both of which would drain the reserve holding tank quickly. Keep in mind that these are intended for specific use and function. If you need/want higher volume water purifying, then you should speak directly with the vendor/manufacturer to determine the appropriate equipment to meet your needs.

I haven't tried all hot water but do hook it to the garage sink and use hot/cold mix to bathe the dog with no problem.

I think it would be okay just casually using in the bathroom. This product is not fully water resistst but shaving head resist

If you are sterilizing the pot, you will use boiling water that will make it too hot to handle.The temperature of the water you use for nasal irrigation needs only be a little warmer than body temperature...otherwise, you may burn delicate tissue.

Yes. Not too warm. I keep mine on the bathroom sink and use the water out of the tap. You will get an idea of how warm you like the water after you use it a couple of times. I would begin with barely warm water first. I use mine twice a day. Just use one scoop of neti salt, no more than that.

No, the product was really well designed, all you need to do is push the "button" for the first time and see how strong the stream comes out of it and then remember to tilt you head towards the sink so the saline comes out of your nose into the drain.Remember, if you allow the saline to go down your throat, you might be swallowing the bacterias, pollen, dust, anything that was trapped in your nasal cavities and THAT might give you a sore throat. This product is THE BEST and SAFEST for washing your nose and the best, it is chemical free.Cheers!
