The published specifications state: Temperature: 40-100 °F. so not suitable for hot spring, etc. If the hot water is derived from water at 40-100 F, Place the filter in the section carrying the 'cold' water.

I do not know if the filter could be used on hot-water-only piping. The filter housing is designed to be a "whole-house" filter. Why not install it on the inlet to the building and filter both the cold water and inlet to hot water as well. That way the hot water gets filtered before the heater, aiding in reduced sediment. That is what we do, and it functions without a hitch !!

It filters the water from the main supply, that is before it gets to the water heater in your house.

Mine is installed on cold water. I would figure from past experience that this filter would not be the best choice for water hotter than 100F. That is manufacturers max recommended temperature. If you want to filter water, say for beauty shop use the best setup would to use big blue as a pre-filter before an on demand hot water heater that way only cold water is filtered. There is a plethora of cartridges available for this housing. Filters as fine as .05 microns are available. It depends on your application. Note the finer the filter the slower the flow. I hope this helps. If you need more info ask another question and I'll try to help you. Mine is installed on cold water.

There is an adjustment. As per code max temp for hot water from a tub or shower valve is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. When I trim out I use a thermometer to set the temp. so I am not liable if someone gets burned. I suggest reading the instruction for the trim (this rough in box accepts most Hansgrohe trims and the adjustment can be different depending on the trim). If you are unfamiliar with plumbing I suggest hiring a plumber who is familiar with Hansgrohe products.

Item did not come with a min or max temp guide. Cold side takes household cold water and hot side takes water heater hot. Both are mixed and then pushed out the outlet. The output temp is adjusted by turning the top knob. The knob is labeled with temps. This really has no purpose. It's all based on how hot the hot is and how cold the cold is.

I use it on a gas water heater, temperature setting in range of 130-140 degrees. Works great so far.

I never used it in the warm water setting. I did go trough 2 of these and gave up on using this item. I was not going for # 3 strike out

I don't think the water needs to be hot. These types of devices are used in swimming pools as well. There was nothing in the directions that said the water had to be at a certain temperature.

I haven't actually tried it, we bought it to bathe our toddler in a place where we don't have a bath tub. I would guess it can as it is very thick walled. I can't imagine that hot water would have any effect on it.

How hot are you referring to? If you were draining your water heater, I imagine 130 degrees might be ok. Boiling water I would never subject plastic to, unless the item is food grade. Hot tap water should be fine. It's a good sturdy bucket.

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.

No, I think the highest temp is 120 degrees. Any thing higher could be dangerous without an infusion of cold water, so most tankless water heaters that I'm aware of have temperature limits.

factory default setting is approximately 80 degrees centigrade, more than adequate to make instant teas and coffee. The hot water reservoir can be adjusted to yield higher temperature, but I don't know why anyone would wishes to make it hotter.

I just called the company, the hose is not hot water safe! Although you can use it for hot water and it may not look like it is breaking down, the company does not guarantee that the water is potable, or that the inside of the hose will not release chemicals into the water. They recommend not exceeding 100ºF.

I have not used it in hot water just cold but I assume it can withstand water that is pretty hot as long as the rubber hose can take it. Good luck.

Good question.... I have thrown the user manual away but using common sense I would never use Hot water with this filter. Always use cold water. It is a good filter but not industrial grade.

I have used both hot and cold water. It doesn't really make much difference. Hence, I go with the easiest thing -- just plain ol' tap water, cold or room temperature.

I heat water on stove top. Probably should ck with manufacturer about micro use. I do love mine!

Not sure, never tried hot water. Maybe you could try warm water and let it sit at room temp until tea has flavored the water to your liking. Or sun tea brewed in the sun.
