Has anyone tried using warm/hot water?

I've used hot and cold water, filtered and unfiltered, with about the same results. You do get a slight expansion bump on the inside of the glass, but not really a problem. I'll probably make some plaster of paris inserts later to see if this improves. I find that when I freeze them in my deep freeze @ 0 degrees, the shot glasses last longer, and I always chill the liquor I use in the freezer, as well.

Do you mean before freezing? Shouldn't make a difference. Just takes longer to freeze.

I have made chocolate shot glasses with them, using melted chocolate, so I do know that they will stand up to heat, if that was what you were wondering~ I hope that helps?

I have had no problems using filtered water at room temperature to fill the mold. Warm booze will melt the shot glass quickly so try to use a chilled beverage. Use a cookie sheet for a serving tray to avoid a big mess.

I have used hot water to make mine before. They do freeze faster that way, but they will get a bubble in the center on the "glass." Best to use cold water.

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.

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.

I've put warm water inside, but not hot. Not sure about the toxic part though. Hope this helps!

I have never done this. I take it every morning with warm water. It may not be good to have it in hot water.

We have a warm water type and the extra cost was a waste of money. It takes to long for the warm water to get through the lines. You sit there with cold spraying on your tush until the warm gets there. Just use the cold and be done with it.

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

no, but it might take quite a while. I put water in it and it took about 20 minutes to get what would be just warm. I haven't tested its Temperature-over-time/liquid.I'd do it now because you have me curious about it, but the unit self-destructed within weeks.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I don't think hot water would work well in it. It's insulated with a rubber material. I'm not sure but I can imagine it melting? I would try a reusable microwavable heating pad instead.

I actually had one without the warm water and took it off and installed one with the warm water. The warm water is extremely important to me because of the fact that it cleans you so much better, quicker, and really makes you feel more fresh. Not to mention the fact it is so much more comfortable.

The instructions that come with the PUR system say that it should not be used with hot water. I don't know what the result is if one does, however. Mine has accidentally been exposed to hot water a few times and shows no ill effects.

Not me. I got it for my son and he can't use it. It has to be used with hot water and his washer only has cold.

I use hot water, under tap. But for instructions, try below link from the world wide web of goodies :)http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&scy;=us&ctn;=1250X/40

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 am sure you can place warm water vs hot water... however, you decrease the cleansing aspect perhaps by 50% by doing so. We have wool carpeting (beige) throughout our house & utilizing hot water had no adverse affect. That said, however, Bissell.com has an 800 number for customer service and calling them and asking the question about hot.vs warm.water would best be answered by the professionals to allay any fears you might have.
