Do you need to heat it up in warm water before each use? My current night guard requires this, but I'll be traveling and hot water will not be avail

No, you only need to place it in the hot water during the initial molding/fitting. Once it cools, it will retain the shape you've formed.
2067923
No, you only need to boil it once before you mold it. Once molded thats it. Just pop in and use.

No, you do not need to heat it before each use. Only before the first use to set the bite for your teeth. Then it's just a matter of cleaning after each use.

You use hot water from your tap. The hottest you can. That's it. It doesn't maintain the temperature, it's not heated.

Hi Mauro. You need to put warm water into the reservoir. I get my shower water to the temperature that I feel comfortable with and then fill it up. You need to do this every time you want to shave in the shower.

Yes. There has to be a little movement in the water to distribute the warmer water. I have water plus some white vineger in my footbath which I change every 3 sessions. So i turn on the footbath, without bubbles, turn on the heat button, and in 10-15 minutes the water is hot-and if you leave the heater on, it gets really hot! I have a little place set up in my bathroom with a chair, towels, foot creams, clippers, reading glasses! I turn bath on, tidy up my house for the nite, and by that time it is nice and hot. Then I bring my book and a drink, and sit for an hour in the bath. If it cools too much, I turn heater back on for a bit. I had 2 other footbaths that did NOT heat up the water or keep it hot as was advertised. This does it all. Love it!

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

I used cold water. Cleaning is done by pressure, so I don't think you will need hot water.

I called the 800# & they said it needs to be ran under warm water for 20 seconds, dry it & it should be fine. Did that to mine over & over again but still didnt stop my alarm from going off. Had to return mine, i had the same problem as you.

In my experience, you don't really need hot water. So little water is used that you usually just get room temperature water from both the hot and cold, and that is not uncomfortable. If you really want hot water you need to find some compatible tubing to extend the tubing that comes with the kit.

We've had ours for several years. Little electric power used and it won't warm up the room. It just helps the towels to dry a little faster and gives them a little warmth when you grab it from a shower/bath. If you want just warm towels for shower, then turn it off after shower, and on again the morning/evening before your next shower. It takes several hours before the towel will feel warm.

No it is not heated and doesn't stay hot. I start with hot water and just use it until it cools down.

Hello David, 1. Mine does not get hot to the extent that I could not touch it. I would say "warm". 2. It doesn't make a noise (except for the alarm when the battery goes below 11V). 3. Yes, it needs ventilation, so don't cover it up. It must be mounted upright. You could rig up one of those 12V muffin fans to help it. And hoover the vents from time to time. I haven't had any problems with mine in 3 years, it works 24/24 7/7. A good machine. cheers Ralph

I leave mine on all the time, unless I'm leaving the house for more than a few hours (just a safety thing with me). It doesn't get that hot, however

I cannot imagine leaving this product on overnight. The first time I used it I had trouble not washing it off sooner than the suggested time. With regular use my skin can tolerate the product for longer and longer time periods, but I'm talking about minutes. I cannot imagine an hour, much less overnight. I am afraid her face would be badly burned.

Yes i believe it needs to warm up slightly in order to work but I've never felt mine get hot. That being said, you need to make sure you done let it run dry. I always watch mine to make sure of that. Hope this helps!

I would not recommend leaving it on. Towels do dry out overnight, I have experienced this when I accidently left it on when working at spas. Then you can risk fire if they get too dried out. Plus you will shorten the life of the unit. It hears up in about 15 minutes with warm towels to start and if you use ice cold water to wet your towels give it 30 minutes tops.

There was no obvious heat buildup as opposed to other mattress protectors, and you can sleep directly on it if terry cloth isn't uncomfortable for you...but please know it does not last very long if you have a child who wets the bed. My mattress is RUINED because this thing only lasts a few washes.
