Is the water room temperature? Can this be placed in the refrigerator to make the water cold?

Yes it is room temperature. I suppose with a 2.5 gallon water bottle it could fit in a refrigerator.

Typically this would sit on a counter so the water is at room temperature. I suppose one could chill the unit and water bottle given a sufficiently large or dedicated refrigerator. However, it might be a tad awkward lift a full bottle and container in there due to the weight.

It is room temperature, if you have the room I see no reason why you couldn't refrigerate

I tested the water streaming from the unit with an instant read thermometer and it was 195 degrees. In the cup it is several degrees cooler.

I don't think it needs refrigeration, but it will become more liquid if the room temp is high.

I guess you could put warm water in instead of cold. I have never tried that, but should work the same.

The water is room temperature. Be sure to use filtered rather than tap water.

I use mine in my fridge in a cup of distilled water, have it set to about 33 - 34 , I dig my beer on the cold side. If your useing it in a temp that's going to be freezing your water I would not put it in water. It seem sturdy to me . I have had no problem with mine.

Excellent question, so I asked them directly. Official answer from Thermos: It is not recommended put the unit into the freezer. The freeze can cause the insulating system to fail causing it not to hold temperature as it should.

The coldness depends on the water temperature. However, even room temperature water works well. The cooling should be immediate.

The water is room temperature when you first turn it on, but after a few seconds the water becomes very warm. It cycles through your warm tap. It should not be a problem in the winter. We have had one for a year then added them to our whole house. Have not had any complaints in the winter as far as temp. Again it becomes very warm water with in seconds.

Refrigeration is not suggested and i never thought of doing that. At room temp, it flows freely and that's what I like,

Yes. There are two switches in the back. One to turn off the heater for the hot water. The other to turn off the cooler for the cold water. When turned off, you get room temperature water.

Yes you can set the desired temperature and let it go it'll keep the temperature as long as you need it to this thing is unbelievable I wish I would've gotten one along time ago and it does turn off on the temperature is right but it still cycles water.

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

Not really no. It's not insulated and like the other reviewer said, there is no keep warm feature. I have heated water at the middle to end of the heat spectrum. I'd say it's warm-cool within 10-20 minutes. I don't feel its a problem for me just because it heats up again just as quickly when I turn it back on. I'd say about three minutes,it's boiling again on the highest setting.

The instructions say no, but I have put very warm tea in the pitcher, let it sit to room temperature for an hour and then refrigerated to make iced tea. No problems (so far). I wouldn't pour boiling water in it, nor would I refrigerate right away.

Not unless you have a system. This faucet is sold with a heater which goes under the cabinet. In our case we have a osmosis system in the center island which gives us filtered hot and cold water. This water also is piped underground to our ice maker in the refrigerator.

Good question! Perhaps that's a question only the manufacturer can answer as they would know if the internalals could handle the temperature. I would think that it just might, but it might not be able for an extended time. I thought of perhaps mixing hot and cold to a good warm water combination. Perhaps that would be a more acceptable combination.
