Should I install this on the cold or on the hot side of my tankless water heater?

cold side which would be the inlet. Want the water softened before you go into the tankless system because the heating plates get corroded easily.

I put it on the cold or incoming side. Actually it is shortly after the main water supply enters the house.

Mine is installed on the supply side. I left as much space as possible between it and the ac coil. I spoke to a few HVAC pros and they recommended to keep it on the supply side rather than on the return side using hot water This is a drip design and uses a fair bit of water meaning a lot of extra cost if hot water is used. Additionally the return side is cool air which can't carry as much moisture as warm air can. Install on the supply side with cold water; you'll be fine. My home is 3800 sqft and this unit keeps the set humidity level all winter long with no issue.

As with any water supplying device if it is located outside or in say an unheated cottage during the winter when temperatures fall below freezing you should winterize it. By winterizing I mean disconnecting the water supply line and the shower handle assembly so that all remaining water drains out of the unit. If the unit must be connected for some reason during freezing temperatures you could try applying what's called heat tape to the water supply line. I would use a length of heat tape that goes all the way up to where the water supply line connects to the unit. Additionally you could make a wooden box structure opened on one side and lined with foam board to further protect the unit. The box structure would be mounted to the wall where the unit hangs covering it and adding extra protection in conjunction with the heat tape.

there are 2 aspects: electrical and plumbing. If you do not have the right guage wiring and breaker size then this electrical work has to be done. In addition you need a shutoff switch near the unit in case power has to be turned off to the unit. For the plumbing if the tankless is replacing and existing hot water heater that was in the same area, then the plumbing connections are more straight forward as described in the installation booklet. If the tankless is in a new location then there is a bunch of plumbing required. The installation booklet is pretty explicit on what is need and what connections are needed to the tankless. s there are 2 aspects: electrical and plumbing.

Hello Ana. I do not know the use and location of your installation. I installed my in a trailer. I have to use a small couplings due to my installation. Just take your heater to any plumbing store ( recomen

Off. Only need the heater if the ambient air temp is less than what you want your tank to be.

I had a Franke Little Buttler, with a double dispenser hot and cold. I replaced it with this one. I would suggest you replace both the tank and the faucet. It is not difficult and this one is good looking. I lost the cold water feature, but am satisfied.

Mounting humidifier on cold air can you install pipe to hot air to either side of humidifer

The water coming from the cold side will be room temperature, or rather under-sink-cabinet temperature. We have since disconnected power to this hot water tap and our power bill went down by $30 per month. We only use it now to dispense the "cold" water. I would not recommend this product now.

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.

As Ken stated, e is for exterior, i for inside building. I decided to place mine outdoors, on side of house for 3 advantages, (1) no venting required outside, (2) you'll gain indoor space where the old tank water heater was and (3) easier to clean & repair outdoors where water will drain easier. The N is for natural gas as opposed to propane. Without soft water, it is very important to clean your heater every 1 - 1.5 yrs by circulating vinegar from a bucket & pump. It's much easier & safer to do outdoors, whether you do it or have a plumber do it. Great video on Youtube how this is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4FaqGod3VU. See my comment about getting the model which includes isolator valves, used when cleaning.

I would check with your insurance company and local codes......If OK, then I think as long as you do not obstruct vent in any way - cold water side only ( of coarse ) and fairly accessible for filter changing without water spilling on Hot water heater. I put one on my hot water = In-coming cold water which should help the water heater last longer....as sediment will shorten the heaters life.

Its recommended installation on copper piping. However the package says either plastic or copper. Others have reviewed installing on plastic just make sure u pre drill the hole with a slightly smaller drill bit than the punture pin. I also have plastic piping but went to copper near the water heater so I ended up installing mine there. Just to be safe. If u go ahead on the plastic there is rubber housing around the puncture pin area to help prevent leaks. Its really easy to install. If anything u can check utube for installation instructions but highly doubt u will need. Theres lots of step by step videos there.

I live in the Southwest, so it doesn't get as cold as it does other places. While I can see how the heated versions would be nice elsewhere, it didn't seem a necessary cost for where I live and the cool water is actually quite nice when the heater is on. The main advice I hear from other people is that you should make sure your pipes are well insulated, so the water going through the bidet doesn't freeze or get too cold in winter.

This is very easy to fix. All you do is switch the connection of the hot/cod water hose underneath the sink to the hot vs cold shut off valve. As a matter of fact, when the faucet was first installed hot was on the right hand side and cold was on the left. The installer just switched the hoses which took only a few minutes. Also, also you have the option to change the position of the faucet lever. To the right of the sink is normal, but mine is now at 90 degrees or in front of the faucet.

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