Can I hook this up to bottled water (no water pressure)?

As others have stated, the unit requires water pressure to operate. However, it would be possible to install a small electric pump between your bottled water unit and the coffee maker to provide this pressure. In another thread it was stated that BrewExpress sells a pump for use in offices where plumbed water is unavailable. You should contact them for information on pricing and availability. Another option would be a pump for an RV fresh water system. However, they typically operate on 12V DC which may not be practical for you.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

I only used bottled water with mine because the water here is hard, however, I would think that you could use any kind.

If you can already drink the water from the tap, you can probably use it, but you are probably best off contacting the manufacturer

I'm not sure you would have much water pressure. There is quite a bit of capacity in the tank portion but your pressure would likely drop off substantially. I plumbed a PVC line to mine so it always has pressure but I can disconnect it at a plumbed union if needful.

I don't, but it's all brass so why not...connect using 1/4" copper tubing. The metal would probably be very hot to the touch! Mine is hooked up with the water filter going to the ice maker.

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

it's fantastic, but try to only use distilled water. it works better! Its has pressure dial.

It's possible to connect it to a spigot as you've inquired but this would generally be a violation of local building code ordinances and utility regulations due to the potential adverse impacts it could cause to a municipal potable water system (e.g. creating a suction and promoting water contamination from cross-connections). In other words, creating a health hazard from the suction/negative pressure you'd create. Unless you have your own water source such as a private well, I'd strongly discourage doing what you're suggesting. It's not safe.

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

I use mine in my sodastream and it works great with no issues. You need an adapter though.

Yes, but it will be quite expensive depending on the hardness of your water. If you need purer water than comes out of your tap, I suggest a reverse osmosis system. It wont be 0 ppm, but it will be close and much more economical in most situations. You will still have to make the amount you need and then wash with it as the deionization resin and the r/o system are both kinda slow.

Yes. The inline water from the fridge can be used to connect to this water cooler However if using the reverse osmosis option this cooler has an external line that needs to be plumbed to your sinks drainage. Hope this helps. Any other questions or you don't understand this message u can call me. Bill. 905 466 1345

You would need a pump. Do not know if water would be sterile though. You should write the manufacturer.

Yes, but I use tap water and it works fine. I have to fill it up once a day so buying distilled gets expensive.

This isn't a water filter faucet. It has two lines- one for hot an cold. I suppose you could have your plumber rig it however you want. But it would just be regular cold tap water.

You can with adapters, but the water lines that come with this filter are really small, so you won't get much volume or pressure.

No, I would not suggest hooking this up to the same line as a refrigerator without having an appropriate anti siphon valve. Without an anti siphon valve it may be possible for water already in the bowl to find its way back into the line and then to the refrigerator.
