Can the hot water element be turned off so it just dispenses room temperature water?

Absolutely. In back there is a switch for exactly that purpose. So you can have cold and hot, or cold and room temp.

The hot element can be turned off. This unit started leaking within 90 days of purchase, I do not recommend.

No. The connection is directly to the line and you would have hot water on demand. I have this installed in a cabin that I built and so far works great.

yes, on the back of the unit is an on/off switch for hot water and an on/off switch for cold water. I believe the one for the hot water is a red switch.

Yes. You MUST unplug it BEFORE removing it from liquid. If you don't do this the unit will be damaged.

No, the heater element is mounted directly to the underside of the water pan and the water is kept at a constant temperature via a thermostat within the heater.

Yes, from the website you can turn it off, change to cool or change temp at any time.

No problem. Just do not allow the water to boil off completely. I use a programable thermostat to shut the heater off or hold at a desired temperature.

Yes, it can be turned off by a switch in the back, however; if you turn it back on, it takes a while to heat up. Just FYI....this water cooler is a bit noisy, but overall pretty good.

Yes, regardless of if your handle is positioned for running hot OR cold water, you can shut off the water. This has been a GREAT faucet. We are very pleased with the quality, function and looks. I love that the spout can be pulled from the faucet to fill large pots. Spout also retracts nicely.

Yes, you may. Just move your settings from timer to "on" position. Remenber this is a small pump, you can't have hot water right away.

Yes! There is an "auto" button that allows it to stop once it reaches a certain temp but if you want it on all the time you can press that button to turn it off.

Yes, this machine has a low water level shut off design. I personally, use the timer function on mine & don't leave it running when I'm leaving the house. To me, anything that has a heating element/ electric is a potential fire hazard. I also keep mine on the low setting & the distilled water seems to last quite a while. This fills my office (large room) with a nice fragrance. Lemongrass EO is my favorite to use in it. I hope this is helpful to you. Have a blessed day!

Yes it does. It will automatically turn off when water is hot or you can flick the switch to manually turn it off.

The heat coils and fan will turn off when the room reaches the desired temp. There is also a fan-only setting that will run if you just need a fan.

Usually you can turn off behind the fridge. I replaced mine without turning off the water, I am not saying that you shouldn't turn off the water.

I only turn is on when I sit on it (there is an on/off button on the side). One min or two is sufficient to get the water warm, and I do not even care if the seat is warm or not. I do not see any impact to the electricity bill: if you are still concerned, you probably need to consider hard switch all appliances off around the house.
