Has anyone tried using this with hot water? (~150F)

I have never tried it for hot water but I am pretty sure it is not designed for hot water or the seals inside. I would not use it for that purpose.

I haven't tried all hot water but do hook it to the garage sink and use hot/cold mix to bathe the dog with no problem.

I have used warm water regularly in the bottle and it's fine. I am not sure if temperature as high as 100 degree centigrade could be withstood.

I mean I've used hot water for cleaning purposes, but honestly I've never tried using boiling water I feel that would be too hot. Just my opinion though

I bought this specifically for use with hot water around 180 degrees. Hot water may damage regular garden hoses (or maybe not) but I wanted to play it safe.

Haven't tried that. The paper is waxy, if your water was hot it might not work.

I don't have experience with doing that, but this machine does have a limit to how hot the water can be that you put in it. How hot are you looking to go? If the water is too hot for you to touch/ work with, it is too hot for this machine. I generally go by the rule of "if I would shower in this temperature, then we are okay, anything hotter is pushing it". Its made out of plastic, and the parts can melt if you go to, say, boiling.

I always add hot water to it before I use it. It seems to hear up fairly well.

We used a mixed hot and cold. No problem. The plastic is pretty heavy duty and I think you will have no problems with running hot water.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I guess you could put warm water in instead of cold. I have never tried that, but should work the same.

Good question! Perhaps that's a question only the manufacturer can answer as they would know if the internalals could handle the temperature. I would think that it just might, but it might not be able for an extended time. I thought of perhaps mixing hot and cold to a good warm water combination. Perhaps that would be a more acceptable combination.

I put boiled water in it and it does fine. So anything lower than 100c should be alright. Haven't tried higher (anyone needs to?).

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help. Carol

Not really. It initially cuts flow of water to a trickle once it gets warm (around 100F) but once you pull on the cord, it behaves like a normal shower head with no intrinsic temperature regulation. If your water is that hot you may want to lower the temperature on your hot water heater to something a bit lower - instructions are just a Google away. (It is reported that 140F water can scald in as little as 2 seconds, whereas 126F water may take 30 seconds to cause the same injury.)

I do not. It does not seem like the kind of plastic that can tolerate very hot water.
