Is this normal? First use, Hello Kitty heated water almost to hot tap water temperature about 105 degree overnitght. LIght was on.

No, they are cool mist. Mine doesn't heat the water at all. I had this problem with the last one I had and there was a piece of metal between the cap to the reservoir and the circle seal that is underneath it when you put it onto the base. It created water that was like tea temperature, normally the water should be cool like a little cooler than room temperature.

My water stays cold or room temp. Never ever warm. You may want to call about that.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

The base is not hot at all. Bottom of the kettle is just "warm", I can touch it with hands without feeling "hot"

I have a couple of these in some 10 gallons. Make sure your heater and thermometer are not too close. When the heater coils turn on they make the surrounding water rather warm. You may have experienced a 80 reading when the pilot light was on and coils were hot.

it don't take too long to warm up , an 5 mins not that long for a pot of cold water to get hot , try again or just exchange it if ur not happy

Make sure tap water is Luke warm, not too cold.then add stress coat immediately. I use prime.

I had some trouble when it was -20F. the heater that comes with the unit is adjustable. It gets very warm/ hot when you turn it all the way hot. The water still freezes over some on the top.

no -I only run it maybe 10 mins so I haven't noticed anything like that but I would not consider it a normal thing to heat up so much-ask the company

Just set mine up: checked all the moveable parts to see that they were in place, filled it with cool tap water to the "Max" line (as instructed for first time use), and turned it on to check all speeds and modes. Remember to turn on the "cooling/humidify" button (the light will come on) The air is cool, like the air coming off the ocean-not cold like AC air flow. (I notice a faint chlorine smell with first use.)

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!

that's a tricky question. You should set it at a temp you are comfortable with. If you have kids, they say not high enough that pure hot water coming from your tap can scald. But if you like crazy hot showers...it's all you. As far as knowing what the temp is...you really just have to set it, let the heater come up to temp and then check the water coming out of the faucet. Mine are set to about 130F, but based on my piping configuration (slab foundation) I only get about 115-120 at the faucet which works for me and my family. Your top and bottom thermostat should be set to the same temp. Again, its your call for whatever you are comfortable with. that's a tricky question.

I highly recommend warming the water first. Using cold water can be very uncomfortable.

Mine is installed on a back wall of the house, in a semi sheltered alcove. It is not usually very cold in Columbus, GA and we have had no problems with it. I would hope there is a setting that would cause it to run a little to keep it from freezing.?? My wife lets the hot water drip just a little anytime that we expect sub 32 degree weather. Bob Behar

If not flowing any water for a long period of time the lamp will heat the standing water in the unit. I consider this normal.

I have an instant hot water tap that produces water @ 185 degrees in a few seconds. Most tap water is about 100 to 120. Suggest that you boil water for this in microwave. Hotter hydrates faster.

It is all dependent on how hot your water is. With hot tap water, it stays *hot* for 30minutes or so. Then it is just warm.

It is warm right away. Occasionally there is a slight rise in temperature after the initial start of warm water.
