can EMT2.5 be installed on to existing hot water line , in other words can you install existing hot water line on supply side then outlet downstream?

Yes. It will give you hot water faster. But be aware, when your existing hot water reaches the tank, it will be REALLY hot!

I have installed three of these over the last few years. I install mine in the hot water line. If you used enough hot water from the tank, then the water entering would be warm coming from your existing hot water system. I have had no problems with this hookup.

Yes, You probably have your HW tank far from where you want fast hot water like I do. if supplied from hw side it will just give almost instant hw. won't hurt a thing, just save on your E bill.

"Yes. It will give you hot water faster. But be aware, when your existing hot water reaches the tank, it will be REALLY hot! " WHy? Doesn't the thermostat work? It should not heat the water above the setting regardless of the input temperature.

Assuming you are using the EMT2.5 as a booster, as long as the water on the supply side is lower than the maximum setting on the thermostat, then it would in fact boost the temperature. Otherwise it would just be a holding tank and maintain the heat there.

I don't think you can - the water outlet is at the middle of the AC... In edition the installation kit will not support sideways installation - So you have a lot of modifications to make...

Yes you can, but it only can only be used for one supply line, either hot or cold, but not both. It is intended to be used as a cold water dispenser for filtration systems.

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

Only typical water-line plastic (PVC) can be used on water supply lines. Venting must be stainless steel. Gas supply cannot be reduced, or unit will not work properly. It won't get enough to fire up, and maintain operation -- eventually results an error. And it is best to place unit very close to where gas line enters the house. Google search for the owner manual and read carefully - and it is best to have a professional install, as the warranty is no good if installer is not licensed in your state. Hope this helps.

Nope. This is intended to be installed as part of a low voltage lighting system. Standard wall plugs and water are not friendly - even if it is a GFCI outlet.

The manufacturer states it ca be used as a booster to the existing hot water supply. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. this filters the tap water so there is no build up on the on demand water heater.

I would not recommend it. The supply lines associated with the unit are plastic. If they were to leak, you would have a bigger problem. My plumber tiled and left the copper water supply out of the wall to prevent any failure from occurring. Having it installed on the outside also ensures that should you need to replace it, the new unit would not have to be the same dimensions.

I do not know if the filter could be used on hot-water-only piping. The filter housing is designed to be a "whole-house" filter. Why not install it on the inlet to the building and filter both the cold water and inlet to hot water as well. That way the hot water gets filtered before the heater, aiding in reduced sediment. That is what we do, and it functions without a hitch !!

No. That would require an input for both hot and cold water lines. This has only one input.

No. Just plugs into a regular outlet. However, you need someone to install a water line.

Depends where you live. In Florida you don't need hot water. Up north run a half inch pipe close to regular connection, buy a splitter if its not included in kit, plus shut of valve, pay attention to what you doing and its not complicated to finish in half hour.

Absolutely! We ran ours from the main line using the T connector valve instead of punching into the pipe. If you already have a dedicated water line and a modicum of skill, it should take all of 5 minutes to install.

Not impossible, but not trivial. You will need one hot water stub and one cold water stub coming out of the wall at the right height and with the right spacing. If you have access to the plumbing from behind, you might be able to reroute the pipes, but then you'll likely have some patch work to do, although the panel may cover some of the prior fixture locations.

The unit is quite easy to install. An electrical outlet must be available near the unit. The unit comes with an adapter to tap into the existing water supply for the toilet. If the existing water supply is not a flex hose, then I would recommend replacing it with a flex line. Would recommend using a GFI outlet.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.
