Can I use this to heat my Conair foot bath basin? It doesn't heat the water as advertised so I want a way to keep it warm.

NO way! This is a screw in replacement heating element for a water heater in an RV. It would be very dangerous to immerse in a water basin.

Way too risky. Would need a thermostat to control temp and if ever exposed to air would burn up instantly. Try a submersible drink warmer maybe.

I don't see why not unless it is a very shallow bath. Added to the heat-retaining properties of metal, the water might get too warm and encourage excess growth of bacteria and other nasties. Conversely, fully heating a concrete bath in a Northern climate is a bit out of their range.

You use hot water from your tap. The hottest you can. That's it. It doesn't maintain the temperature, it's not heated.

Mine never feels warm, but I know it works. It only comes on when the temp is below freezing and I don't think it warms the water to hot. You wouldn't want that anyway, it would evaporate too fast

I wouldn't ever use it to heat water. It is a tea pot, not a tea kettle. I have noticed that people say they do use it to heat water but I don't think it's designed to so think it could damage the pot

No, not really, it only has one inlet so if you intend to use hot water it will need to be "mixed" upstream of the shower, and you won't have any control of the outlet temp.

You can do it either way. I place mine between the main water heater and faucet sink. That way I get hot water until the hot water from the main water heater get to the faucet. Then the water stays hot.

Return it if you can? From what I understand, it wasn't meant to make the water hot, but just keep the hot water you put in there, stay warm. It's a piece of junk anyway...

If you have sufficient water pressure and flow it will heat water. Whether it will corrode with the hot tub chemicals I do not know. It would be strictly a manual operation and could heat the water too hot if not watched.

We have this water heater hooked up to regular electrical service and it barely heats water at all. I would not buy it. For any purpose.

You will have endless warm water. I say warm because it doesn't actually get hot. I have this unit under my kitchen sink because it takes so long before the hot water gets there. I turn the hot water on and it is almost instantly warm and gets warmer and hot as my hot water gets there, which is what I wanted. However, I will tell you that the flow is not very strong. I don't know that I would want to try to wash my dogs with the stream I get from this in my kitchen. Hope this helps

The device barely warmed the water up so I doubt theres much temperature control. I returned it, this item doesn't work. It might only work to heat water for a small sink.

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.

I don't think so. Heats water about 40 degrees above incoming temp. Warm but not hot.

I'm thinking that's just a fancy way of saying that it uses radiant heat coils to warm up the water as well as your feet. In other words, marketing jargon. You can't actually see the heating elements but only feel them. It does work pretty well and feels great on a cold night, which is all that matters.

you can use it to heat the water just put the cup with the cocoa underneath. i have to warn you my machine stopped working after only 5 months.i really liked it but when i bought a new machine i went with a different brand.

To heat up water in? You could but I don't think it'd work well, it's double walled so no heat will be directly applied to it's content.
