Can I also run hot water through the filter setting?

Hello C. Christopher, it's not recommended to run hot water through the filter. Just run cold water when you switch to use the filter. And also, when you first installed the filter system on, let it run on cold water for about 4-5minutes, that's only when the filter is new, after that it will be ok. But again don't recommend running hot water through it ever. I hope I have answered your question and helped a bit. Have a nice one.

You could, but the heating element does not heat up the water very hot (in my experience).

Yes. I have had one each connected to both hot and cold for the past year and they work great. They recommend changing the filters every six months, but I unscrewed them to take a look and there was hardly any build up the last time I checked. I've been pleased with their durability.

Don't believe it would work. They recommend that you run the water slowly thru the filter. Don't know if it could take the heat.

In a sense yes you can. The thermostat unit has a "hotter/colder" wheel on the front of it like any normal water heater.What that dial actually does is change how often the burner kicks on and how long it burns for. If the insulation stays in good shape and you don't put a high demand for water on the unit you will then get hotter water.

I really have no idea if you can for sure, you would have to ask your plumber, but I think you could because I actually have the opposite scenario. I have an Everpure water chiller hooked up to my insinkerator faucet that came with my hot water dispenser. I love having my hot water and chilled water readily available! Good luck!

The published specifications state: Temperature: 40-100 °F. so not suitable for hot spring, etc. If the hot water is derived from water at 40-100 F, Place the filter in the section carrying the 'cold' water.

If I remember the directions correctly, no. If you must boil your water first I would cool down the water completely before pouring into the water filter.

This is an under the counter in line filter system it should be able to be adapted to any kind of faucet, I used an insta-hot water system on the inlet side it is filtering our drinking and hot water cooking needs. I hope this helps. Dave in Fla.

NEVER filter hot water out of the heating source ( ie Water heater, Instant Hot etc). You can always filter the cold water going into the heating device and achieve your filtered results for the hot water. Filters are not made to take the higher temperatures of hot water and will fail. It is not common to filter the hot water side of fixtures, only cold as it is considered "portable" or what you would drink.

We used a mixed hot and cold. No problem. The plastic is pretty heavy duty and I think you will have no problems with running hot water.

No, you hook it up to the regular water line and you can choose hot or cold water from the unit itself

I already have hot and cold water and it can be mixed.I don't think the panel itself can warm it up.

Correct. However, I've had this system for years and obviously, sometimes you turn on the water not realizing the last person to use it had it on hot and it goes through for a few seconds. I think they mean don't try and filter hot water. I've never noticed any difference or rapid deterioration of the filter after this has happened.

Unlikely. The water is split after the filter and goes to the hot tank and staight to the cold-tap. But the hot/cold tap, filter, and water lines can get naturally warm from heat let off from the unit and of course right after you dispense hot water. Check under your sink and it will be a few degrees warmer due to the heat from the tank. For cold you need to let it run a few seconds (5 or so) to cool it down but even then it may take a lot longer to get as cold as the regular faucet.

Can you add a badket? You could possibly run it straight to filter pump. Depends on what kind of filter you have.

I really don't think you can because the hot water gets hot when plugged in and I also believe that makes the water col.
