Can this be connected to get water from the copper pipes instead of the faucet? I have a touch2o so I can't connect it to the faucet.

This one connects to the faucet. You can go to their website and see what styles they have for inline connections.

I don't think so, I didn't see any instructions for that. A plumber could probably do it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work if the separate faucet uses standard size pipes. Shouldn't be an issue.

in short- yes, the connectors are 3/8" push-in hose and so you are making some serious drops in water flow from 1/2" line. I placed this in my RV and gave it a small dedicated faucet of it's own which works really nice. This basically extends the life of the filter to serious drinking/coffee, but allows my std faucet to handle the cleaning chores. I highly recommend a separate faucet even though they say it can be used with exiting faucet. If you have a sprayer on your current faucet you will be very hard pressed to get it to work with the lower water flow rate. I bought this faucet: http://www.amazon.com/Filter-Purifier-Faucet-European-Brushed/dp/B000KBD2KY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381002634&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=purified+water+faucet+stainless or something similar if you can. Because it quick connect fittings, this makes it easy to go from the filter to the 2nd faucet. If you need further info on setting this up- let me know

You should be connecting the faucet to fexible "faucet connector" hoses which then connect to the water inlet valves under your sink. These valves normally connect to your " INNNER diameter copper pipe that supplies the water (comes out from the wall under sink. You can choose to change the inlet valves (usually screw right off/on) or use flexible faucet connector hoses that have connectors at each end which fit your valve and faucet. Take the faucet to home depot or other store to be sure. Get faucet connector hoses that match that end. Measure the INNER (hole) and OUTER (threads) diameters of the inlet shut-off valves under the sink. Also measure the inner & outer diameters of the fitting that is soldered on to the " copper pipe coming from the wall. You need to know which measurement the shut-off valve package is referring to when you look at the package at the store. BTW- If you decide to replace your shut-off valves under your sink (we did - always a good idea if you don't know how old they are) use the turn style. They work better in an emergency, or when doing any plumbing work on your sink!) If you do this, shut the water off at the main valve to the house, put a drip container under the pipe fitting to catch any dripping water. Drain the water from the pipes by opening 1 or 2 faucets at the highest and lowest points in the house. When it stops dripping, you can take off the sink connectors and shut-off valves under the sink. Then so your work. Finally, some tips: 1. Look up how to do this on youTube. There are great videos there. 2. Take photos (we use our cell phones) or video when you remove each piece, so you remember where evrerything goes when replacing it. Also, it help when you're explaining what you need when you talk to the clerk at the hardware store. Have fun!

If you are connecting the metal part to the faucet, or connecting two garden hoses together - YES. If you are connecting a sprayer head, or if your garden hose has a plastic part that connects to the faucet - NO because its diameter is not wide enough.

This unit only heats water supplied to it under pressure. I would think however you get cold water from you tap would supply the cold water to this heater. If your cold water faucet also activates a pump the same would be needed for the hot water faucet.

Yes it can but there is a blue light showing the faucet is on. If the handle is turned to the off position and you touch the metal, the should be on and therefore the battery may die quicker. We dont like our faucet as much now. The touch control seemed cool, but the warer flow is always too strong or too slow for your next task. I would not recommend this item for this reason.

Sorry for delay. Yes, faucet has a bubbler screwed into outlet. Unscrew bubbler and screw in an adapter to fit your connection. Be aware that unit has rigid tubing with 1/2" male thread connectors. You have to supply 1/2" female thread by 1/2" sweat connectors. Since there is no "give" on the tubing, you will have to measure very carefully before you cut your existing 1/2" pipes.

I would buy the Do It Thread Faucet Adapter. I screw the hose directly to the adapter, then screw the internal thread ( I do not know the real name for it : ) directly to my kitchen faucet. It took me a couple of tries till I got the feel of it. It works great. Now I can water plants on the deck. And I use the same method for the bathroom sink. No more filling up water containers. : )

I noticed you mentioned faucet. It is my impression that this device is only for showers and tubs so it may be the wrong device.

I don't think it will hook up to a faucet directly, I have mine hooked up to the washing machine water line

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 don't think this is an option. I would suggest another faucet. This one is a very cheap model.

The faucet comes with it's own union, it's hiding in the tub fill. You can either use copper or steel pipe with NPT. depending on your current type of faucet it could either go right together or you might have to sweat some pipe. Or maybe use some PEX fittings and hose to connect to your current piping. I hope this helps.

I would think so, mine is connected to a hose, then the faucet. There just needs to be pressure in the line. I wanted to run mine off my rain barrel, doesn't work. There needs to be some water pressure, to get the soaker hose to work.

We use ours with a filter system, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to simply connect it to any water line. However, a plumber might have to do some extra work to make an appropriate connection. We had an Everpure system built into our sink when we built the house and then later replaced the simple faucet that came with the system originally with the EV9970 faucet, which is a lot nicer. I'd ask a plumber whether some kind of special connection is needed.
