Can you use this hose with hot water?

It is the same hose you would use to connect a washing machine, so I would say yes.

I would imagine you could. But it is really just a "garden hose" for cold/cool water. But if you want something for truly hot water, like what comes from a hot water heater, for distribution where you can't tolerate leakage or failure you probably want something else. Easy enough to find, go to a good hardware store. Finally, this is just a garden hose. If you are concerned about heat I would look elsewhere.

No, you have to use hot water ... I can tell you that this machine is great . I have a cleaning business and we are using this carpet extractor for small spaces and work like a big machine

Sorry Jeff .... I only use the washer at our hose connections at home and at our dock. That's strictly cold water, so I guess I can't vouch for its hot water ability.

I don't see why not. It is based on ground water temp and flow rate. I live in SWFL and the ground water temp is 65 degrees which gives me a flow rate of 2. I only use it for one outside shower and that has been more than sufficient to have hot water non-stop. It actually might be too strong for your use because you say your water temp is 70 - 140 (very hot). You should consult a professional plumber perhaps about your current system and they may be able to add a solar panel and adjust your water temp - might be cheaper.

If you attach at the hose bib you can only use cold water. There's a plug at the bottom of shower valve where you could attach a hose bib.

Yes, definitely. I fill mine with hot tap water. I love it. I do have a cover that I had from my old one that broke that I put on it so I don't know how hot it feels without the cover.

Do not use boiling hot water. I ignored the instructions and figured I could get away with it, but it melted the cap on the reservoir and leaked heavily afterwards requiring a new reservoir.

I have a hot water supply near my toilet. It comes with reasonably lengthy hoses to hook up to the hot/cold water. Unless your sink is really far away from your toilet, you should be fine with the hoses it comes with.

Of course you can use it with hot water, it's a shower filter. I like mine. It really makes a difference in the softness of the shower water.

Hi Li D, Don't hook up the hot water connection. This unit functions perfectly with cold water connection only. Mine does.

I have not used it in hot water just cold but I assume it can withstand water that is pretty hot as long as the rubber hose can take it. Good luck.

You will need an adapter to connect a standard water hose to the unit. The major issue is the electrical hookup and potential hazards related to water and 220 V power. Also, don't expect HOT water. This should device be advertised as a water warmer since it barely increases water temperature. I will never buy another one of these.

I have used cold water and it worked okay, but much better with hot water. So my answer would be an absolute Yes.

This is a good question. I use hot water but be careful not to re-shape the container.

Yes, you can however we returned ours after the hot water failed within a week.

This hose is probably OK with really light use, any significant water pressure will blow the connection off the end of the hose, that is what happened to me and gave my wife a quick shower, she was not happy with me or the hose.

Yes, hot water no prob. The tub is strong and sturdy. We use it for dog baths and many other things.
