Is this normal? First use, Hello Kitty heated water almost to hot tap water temperature about 105 degree overnitght. LIght was on.

No, they are cool mist. Mine doesn't heat the water at all. I had this problem with the last one I had and there was a piece of metal between the cap to the reservoir and the circle seal that is underneath it when you put it onto the base. It created water that was like tea temperature, normally the water should be cool like a little cooler than room temperature.

My water stays cold or room temp. Never ever warm. You may want to call about that.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

the fixture gets warm, but not hot. I have noticed it raises the temp of the water by a degree or two. and it's an awesome light though

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.

yes, after awhile, the sensor in the temp probe goes bad. It reads the water temperature at lower than it really is and thus the heater overheats. You can adjust downward the temperature to compensate, BUT THE SETTING RESETS TO 79 F EVERY TIME THERE IS A POWER FAILURE so you could end up overheating your tank anyway. Avoid. Right now, 79F setting for me = 89F actual water temperature!

I have a half filled turtle tank. I bought this a few days ago. My digital thermostat is at opposite end of the tank. Yesterday I noticed it rose to 82 degrees. The water was pretty warm to my hand. This may have something to do with the heat lamps being on as well. I now monitor the thermostat regularly and turn the water heater off periodically.

I'd recommend checking the display for temperature. You'll know exactly how warm your bed warmer is. On the other hand, you may think that the displayed temperature is not really what you actually feel, (it's not as warm as you think it should be). I think this is because it's using water; it takes time to transfer heat from the water in the pipe to you. I usually cover up the warmer with a blanket so that it retains the heat inside the blanket.

I just did a test with a digital meat thermometer. On the slow water setting and all other settings on high the temp got up to 135. It also seem to keep the temp steady. If I stopped the flow of water the temp jump right back to 135 when I started flow again.

I highly recommend warming the water first. Using cold water can be very uncomfortable.

You're asking a lot out of that little heater. It's a general rule that heaters can only raise the water temp 10 degrees above the room temp. You're at the very edge of the threshold, so I'm not surprised it's taking a while. Give it time.

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

My Iced Tea maker was spewing out 180-212 degree water when I checked it today. The water got hotter as it got closer to the bottom of the water.

Hi Adrienne. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. When you first plug it in (and put water in it) you'll see that the temperature indicator light for 185 degrees lights up. If you press the "reboil/temp. Set" button, you'll see that you can select other temps that way. Keep pressing until it lands on the 208.4 F temp. It'll start boiling right away. It doesn't keep the water at 212 F (the boiling point) but at 209.4, the perfect temp for black tea. You can press that button again to get it to boil if you want (like for hot cereal or something that calls for boiling water). Does that answer your question?

i used cold water. i have not every had a problem with mine. i'm hot natured and have hot fl she's. i have had and problem. i'm sorry u r

Yes. this is normal. Because you are pushing the water from the hot water side to the cold water side. The valve will stop the flow of water from the hot to cold water side at a certain threshold temperature. And this temperature is somewhere on the warm side. Therefore the cold water side will be warmer than expected and you will have to run the cold water side until you get the water to the cooler temperature that you want. This is one of the drawbacks of this type of system. It cannot be helped. It's basically a compromise based on the need to get hot water faster. The only way you will truly get the instant hot water and cold water is to set up your plumbing system whereby the entire hot water supply line daisy chains all your fixtures such that the last fixture has a hot water return line running all the way back to the water heater. But this will cost you money to have a plumber do that. This hot water recirculating system is a compromise to save costs.

I have not had any problems with water temperature. Whatever setting you leave the faucet at, is what you will get the next time you touch the faucet to turn it on. It is very consistent, in my opinion.
