Will this work for a 200 gallon cold plunge or does the water need to be hot? Thanks.

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.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

I have a 6 person hot tub in Texas... In the summers, I keep it pretty cool. Covered and shaded with heat off. basically, if you can dissolve the salt in it, it should work.

Well I have mine hooked up to a water chiller but it would just be regular cold tap otherwise.

Hi Harry, You have probably already have your answer, but I'll add my 2 cents. My sink in across the room from the toilet, so I couldn't really run a hot water line. I have a cold only connection and I haven't found that I have had any trouble with the temp., even here in Minnesota. If you can run a plastic or copper water line from the sink without crossing a walking space, it will work, but you will have to run the bidet a while for the heated water to reach it. I know that's not really a good solution, but short of hiring a plumber it's the best you can do. I hope this helped.

They recommend hot water, however, I have left it in before and it still cleans very well. The water would be cold of course but it is a spot cleaner so there is no way you can use up the tank every time and to me it was a huge waste of money to dump it. Good for them though because it would mean selling a ton of cleaning solution.

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 right. The faster the water, the lower the temp gain. I use it for a utility sink in my garage. For occasional hand washing it's greAt, but if you need gobs of hot water, i think you need to go 220v.

You have hot and cold going to your valve now. This unit requires hot and cold to the unit. Bottom line you need a Plummer to install. It works great.

I know this water heater will heat the water initially providing the hot tub is not too big. Add for what you want to do as far as maintaining the temperature ... I am really not sure ... it does burn extremely hot but it does have a timer that shuts the burner off after 20 minutes. I suppose if you're quite creative you could find a way to add a pump to circulate the water and a thermostat to regulate the temperature. Let us know what you come up with and if you get it to work.

It says in the manual it is only for cold water. I would not use it for hot it might cause swelling of the the filter...I use to have the same problem the best thing to do is run your dishwasher with 1/2 a gallon or more of white vinegar when you start noticing hard water build up. I would do it about every month

I have mine in a shallow bird bath, probably about 4 inches of water. When it is really cold, there is just a small opening that does not freeze, probably about 6 inches which is fine with me as the birds can get a drink. I keep the heater over next to the edge and weigh it down. It is really cheap to operate because it doesn't thaw a larger area I guess, not enough heat? When the weather is not that cold, I have a much larger area available. I think you would probably have better luck if your water is not too deep. Hope this helps.

Yes it will be cold water.. It uses the propane to heat the water like a furnace.. I have not tried to use the water with out the propane bottle hooked up..

Hi, yest it's both for hot an cold. Note that the install is not standard as it has european fittings and will need an adapter to go from the faucet and couple to the feed hoses. It's also very heavry so needs to be mounted to a very solid sink.

This unit only heats water supplied to it under pressure. I would think however you get cold water from you tap would supply the cold water to this heater. If your cold water faucet also activates a pump the same would be needed for the hot water faucet.

Won't be too hot to drink, but well enough as a hot drink. Even you place simple cold water on it, it will turn to warm temperature.

For hot water you will probably have to go through the wall, or get extension pipes (what is provided is limited) and feed it to the vanity in the base boards. The other option if you just want to hook up a cold water source is to get a bidget with a heater.Hope that helps.

I don't know what temp it stops the water, my tank is set at medium low. I turn on only the hot water and when the water gets hot it turns to trickle mode. There is nothing to adjust the temp

I had the same concern but it has worked fine. Refreshing, comes to mind. And as I thought about it I came to fear a burst of too hot water more than cold. I've not used the warm/cold model but I don't think there would be a lot of difference in that when you turn a hot faucet on it takes a while before it is hot.
