Can this unit be fed with hot water or does it HAVE to hook up to cold? I want instant hot for the few minutes until the big tankless provides hot

Don't waste your time or money with that 120v tankless water heater. Adjusted flow rate as low as possible it still only produced luke warm water. Better with Rheem RTE7 . 30amp 240v 7kw plenty of hot!!! water for kitchen sink. I had to turn my t-stat down and still mix with cold water.

can be connected to either. Hot water of course makes more sense and will be better. I have noticed that the water, while being much hotter that without the unit, may not be the hottest until you ran thru few gallons and then the unit turns on and you will really get hot water. Almost as if the unit is a tank-less hot water heater. So don't set the knob to high until you have tested it by running few gallons thru it as you may be surprised with the hotter water coming out once the unit is in use. I would have expected for the temperature to remain the same but the water in the tank will always be a little bit cooler than when it's going thru the unit. Overall, my mom is happy with the performance and the very hot water it generates for her kitchen sink.

Only cold water connection. The unit heats it up using electrical power. Get it you will be pleased.

The machine requires a pod installed in order to work. I suppose you could put an empty pod in it & try to get just hot water, but I have not tried that as I use the machine for coffee & hot chocolate.

Yes, it briefly warms the cold. So you need to run cold for a second to dump the warm water. We've found it great to have instant warm water, before we installed the pump we had to run hot for quite a while before it warmed up. It's a long run from out hot water tank to the bathroom. The pump has several timing options so we have it set to come on in the morning and shut off at 10pm. Hope this helps

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.

Sorry never tried with cold water. Even hot stuff stays hot only for max 30-40 mins

I leave mine full all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

It is only hooked up to the hot side. So you can add all the cold water you want. It acts just as any other water heater.

Yes it works with hot or cold. I put hot water in it if using hot items. Use cold water for anything cold before putting food in. Use it every day and thinking about getting another one.

we did not hook it up ourselves but there is a connection to the hot water then one to the tank and the other to the faucet itself.I hope this helps and by the way we love it.... My husband made hot cereal for breakfast today

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

No, it says never to use hot water in the unit, but it does just fine with cold water. I have never used the detergent , but you can use power washer detergent in it.l

I already have hot and cold water and it can be mixed.I don't think the panel itself can warm it up.

Hello, You would hook up a hot and cold water supply like you would for a regular shower as this functions as an everyday shower. Thanks.

Yes! I fill it with cold tap water and it still comes out hot enough. Almost "McDonalds" hot. lol

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

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.
