Is it susceptible to heat? Our water is very hot and destroys rubber stoppers.

The stopper is surrounded with silicone, not rubber. It will definitely withstand any amount of heat your bathtub could provide. I have silicone cookware and love it. The silicone also provides a great grip/suction interface with the tub and shower. It has smaller drain holes than most drain covers and prevents hair going down the drain. Am very pleased with it.

I've used it for scalding hot baths and nothing has happened to corrode the silicone. Oxo makes pretty solid products in my experience.

I really do not think it gets hot enough to ruin PVC - the heat trace does not get as hot as domestic hot water 120-140 degrees, so I can not imagine any damage and it does not operate all the time only when the temp drops - good luck

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.)

if the water you put through is drinkable then there is no reason the hot water to be unsafe

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

I don't have an answer to that as it didn't happen to me! The water must be very hot....

It should get hot because its boiling water but keep an eye on it you don't want it to get extremely hot, it may burn thru the plastic

I've only had the chance to use mine once and it worked fine. It was quite hot. Call the mfg as you may have a defective hose.

It should kill anything that would be killed with boiling hot water becaue it operates with scalding hot steam. If this is not enough info contact Euroflex/Monster and ask more information.

I have one of these,i don't know how heat resistant it is. But I styled it using boiling water and had no issues

We never use it and you can lock it so it can't be dispensed accidentally. I don't recall whether there was a way to stop it from heating, but I believe there was.

Are you running hot or warm water through it? Anything except cold water may be breaking down the carbon.

It would probably get too hot to safely handle- it is really for water or juice

the directions that come with the bottle say that it is not made to hold hot water. I used mine for it, but the bottle gets very hot and hard to handle if you put really hot water in it. In the long run I am not sure about the damage, i gave up mine because after some time it developed a rust spot and the water had a steel/metal taste - no matter how fresh it was.

I've only used it for indoor planters right now, and am very pleased so far. Haven't used it outdoors yet. I don't think the water would get "too hot", unless you're using them around sensitive plants.

There should be a thermal link (fuse) some where in it as a safety feature. It could have blown if the unit got to hot. Also look at heating element, it could have split from calcium in the water.

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!
