Do I need two units to filter both hot and cold water?

The manual indicates under the Caution section "Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperatures of this filer system is 100degrees F" I am assuming that after that the filter will not work as intended.

NEVER filter hot water out of the heating source ( ie Water heater, Instant Hot etc). You can always filter the cold water going into the heating device and achieve your filtered results for the hot water. Filters are not made to take the higher temperatures of hot water and will fail. It is not common to filter the hot water side of fixtures, only cold as it is considered "portable" or what you would drink.

I guess as this goes into the cold water. Would prob be a bit cumbersome though.

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 !!

I don't own the water filter. I sent it back as the dome filter would not work. I am sure you need both filters.

You can use 2 filters minimum and four maximum at a time. Don't know why you couldn't use two of each. There's nothing that would prevent it. I'd contact customer service at British Berkfeld to make sure that you'll be getting the benefits from this setup that you hope for. My experience with two filters has been great. Water from the tap here tastes awful but once it goes through the Berkie filter, it tastes great.

I installed a double set close to the main water supply and before my water softener. If you change the filters regularly you should have no issues.

This unit heats the water to several selectable temperatures, so no need to provide hot water to them. Matter of fact, I recall the owner's manual cautions one NOT to supply hot water - only cold water. Everything is perfect!.Amazon Customer answered on September 25, 2014

Yes, the faucet is for both hot and cold water. If you have hard water like I do I would advise to remove the screen where the water is dispersed from. It clogs very easily because it is so fine that when it starts to clog, the water has a tendency to spray everywhere

You use hot water as you normally would, it comes right out of your faucet. Nothing will run through this filter, hot or cold, until you want it to. You have to "turn it on" so to speak.

This is a hot water tank and makes hot water only. It is used with a faucet/dispenser that goes above the sink. Some of the faucet/dispensers have dual heads - one for the hot and one for the "cold" water which is basically just the same temp that you would get out of your cold water faucet. But if you have the filtration system hooked up, the water is filtered.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).

This particular faucet does not come with an assembly to mix both hot and cold water (parts are available for this though). Previous comments are accurate, once you combine the hot and cold supply lines, the tempurature can be adjusted via the ball valves beneath the sink. Also note that this is a commercial grade faucet and this is not something you would typically install in your home (if that is what your intent is).

We ran a an extra hose from the filter to the refrigerator so that we would have clean filtered cold water and ice cubes from our refrigerator, so yes it can be done. You will need a T shaped adapter to connect the hose to your filter and another adapter to connect that hose to the refrigerator hose. You can pick this up at your local hardware store. I'm not sure if you can run 3 additional lines if thats what you are asking me. I haven't tried it but I would think that you probably would not have enough water pressure from your filter to move the water through 3 additional lines.

Yes, both a one-faucet hook-up and separate hot/cold water hook-ups are included. So you have the option of a single faucet (for when you hook-up to a sink) or want to connect it to separate hot and cold intakes. Just make sure that your sink faucet has the ability to screw in the hook-up adapter. I had to buy a new faucet that would accept the adapter. Enjoy!

The I have the hot/cold system which must be installed as a separate unit. It contains its own 'faucet' [spout] and a heatitng unit. Don't know if the cold only requires the same configuration. The installation guide should tell you.

I really don"t know this one at all as I have never filtered hot water just cold water only and I boil water in a kettle or sauce pan. You might as we go to (http:www.pur.com)to find out more or do a search for pur water filters to get their website unless you have a box of replacements and can contact the company by a phone nber on that box.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

Personally I only use it on the cold side for water for the refrigerator and drinking water at the kitchen sink. I see no reason why it wouldn't work as well whether hot or cold. I think you will find the new one easier to handle, I did. Best filter I ever saw. Bob
