Can this be installed in the basement directly to the cold water line that feeds the kitchen sink?

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.

Yes, but a maximum distance from tank to faucet of 15 feet is required (additional tubing will be needed). The system will produce a faster flow at the faucet with the shortest tubingrun from tank to faucet.

Yes. Mine is in the basement. It can be installed anywhere that meets the clearance, fresh air, and venting requirements. Consult a licensed plumber or your local code official. It's possible to burn down your home or asphyxiate yourself if you do it wrong. It is, by the way, a great heater and a good buy.

It is easiest to install this faucet on a sink wall where the water is supplied by horizontal threaded pipe ends on an 8 inch center-to-center of the hot and cold water supply pipes. I suppose that with some plumbing modifications, it could be adapted to fit your needs. It is a high quality product and I believe it to be worth the extra cost in the long run rather than replacing a cheaply built $20 one every few years.

Hi Harry, You have probably already have your answer, but I'll add my 2 cents. My sink in across the room from the toilet, so I couldn't really run a hot water line. I have a cold only connection and I haven't found that I have had any trouble with the temp., even here in Minnesota. If you can run a plastic or copper water line from the sink without crossing a walking space, it will work, but you will have to run the bidet a while for the heated water to reach it. I know that's not really a good solution, but short of hiring a plumber it's the best you can do. I hope this helped.

Hi I wouldn't do it, there are special filter kits for that purpose, if your refrigerator is on the same side as the K. sink I guess it would work with a T adapter conection.but for a refrigerator alone it would be too bulky to install behind. I hope that helped you decide

Cold water input to your hot water heater runs though the unit. Best to get a licensed plumber to do the install.

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

For hot water you will probably have to go through the wall, or get extension pipes (what is provided is limited) and feed it to the vanity in the base boards. The other option if you just want to hook up a cold water source is to get a bidget with a heater. Hope that helps.

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.

I'd have to look at both fittings to be sure, but most likely, you'd have to take the water filter adapter off to attach any other faucet fitting. Not only would that be too inconvenient, but the filter adapter isn't made for that much handling & would spring a leak even faster. What you need is an under-sink filter plumbed into the cold-water pipe, with a separate faucet for the filtered water, & preferably using the same standard 10" cartridges or much bigger high-capacity ones. If you're handy, you can do that yourself. If your sink doesn't have an opening (intended for a sprayer) for a separate faucet, that's what a metal hole saw is for.

That is true. We have all house soft water except the cold water in the kitchen. We were able to link it into that.

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!

You can attach it to your cold water line under your sink, or anywhere you have a cold water line, really, if your home is on a softening system already then it would hook up the same. I'd. Ask the manufacturer about how it would affect the filter life.

I don't have the installation instructions with me right now but I'm pretty sure they want it hooked up to the COLD water supply. It sometimes adds water to cool off the water in the system before it auto-drains. Mine is hooked to the cold water and it works great.

I would think you could add a "T" in the line on the way to the faucet that comes with the filter kit. One of the branches from the T could easily run to the refrigerator. I am thinking about doing this myself. Mine would have to run down through the floor and across the ceiling in the room below and pop up behind the refrigerator. There may not be enough pressure to get the water through the filter in the refrigerator. That filter is part of the circuit that the water travels so I can not omit it.

Yes but it would be really cold and I think uncomfortable to use. We hired a plumber and extended the water lines to our sink lines (hot and cold) as we didn't have a close hot water line either.

I'm not sure, but my guess would be no. I had mine installed by a plumber and I would suggest asking one about installing it to a fridge. Good luck!!
