Can I feed this tank with my current hot water line? Or does it have to be fed with cold water?

If your other hot water heater is a good distance from where you will be placing it, it will raise the water leaving it about 20 to 25 degrees, so be careful and watch for skins burns, but as long as you aren't putting it real close to the hot water heater I didn't have no problem.

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

You will have to run cold water to the tank...you also need a dedicated 30 amp breaker to operate.

I guess you can, but why do you need this unit if you already have a hot water source?

This is not a holding tank. This is a point of use instant hot water heater. Hooked up properly it will heat cold water to a set temperature in demand.

Clean your hot water heater to remove debris that settles to tank bottom..then install filter on cold water inlet to tank..or..install it on incoming service line. Hope this helps, I don't think this plastic is OK with hot water and pressure over time. Check with Culligan specs.

Unfortunately no, but you can just as easily put cold water in it and run it without worrying that its gonna heat up. The heating thing only keeps hot water warm for a short period because its not meant to actually heat up the water.

you could hook it up to the cold water inlet instead of the hot water if you don't want to sacrifice any hot water from your main water heater. But be aware when you've used up all the hot water in this small tank its going to be a while before you'll get hot water again. if you plan to use large flows of hot water, I'd suggest you not do this. The hot water use for a normal bath sink is typically minimal.

No. The connection is directly to the line and you would have hot water on demand. I have this installed in a cabin that I built and so far works great.

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

The third line is the supply that connects to your cold water line. This cycles through the faucet valve back to the tank, thereby sending the heated water through the spigot.

No. I wouldn't. This is an expansion tank, not a holding tank. Only holds 2.1 Gallons anyway (as mentioned in the main product title.) That size is just to compensate for the difference in physical space required between cold and hot water. It requires pressure to hold that 2.1 gallons as well, otherwise it gets pushed back out.

Yes.The water supply line passes through the filter, then goes to either the heater tank or the cold water spigot. Three lines go to the valve: filtered cold water to the faucet, filtered water to go into the heating tank, and hot water returning from the tank to the faucet.The hot water is supplied to the faucet when the red control valve pushes supply water into the heater tank, displacing hot water back out to the faucet. In this fashion, the hot water tank is never pressurized.

Could definitely keep up. I would recommend however to get a small reserve tank of about 10gallons with a recirc pump. Basically you get hot water direct from tank and them takagi refills IIT as you go. Very economical without having variations or time delay in water temp. I'm doing 2 of these in line this way for a 4000sq ft house right now in seattle area for a customer. Good luck.

You only connect to the sink line for hot water. Otherwise your cold line comes from the toilet supply line. They provided all parts for this.Yes you do not have to hook up the hot. The bidet has an automatic cut off if you use the cold only so it won't leak.Mine has worked great.

The water will come out cold until you have used the faucet for quiet a while. I don't think you can have the water come out hot unless you just run the water.

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.

There is no warm water connections and it designed just for cold water. You don't need to control the temperature. Whatever temperature water you put, that is how it stays. Feel free to ask any further questions.

This unit heats the water to several selectable temperatures, so no need to provide hot water to them. Matter of fact, I recall the owner's manual cautions one NOT to supply hot water - only cold water. Everything is perfect!.Amazon Customer answered on September 25, 2014

You should really have a plumber fix this for you. Is the tank supplying the house already? Is so, you would have to branch off the main line to make a heater connection.
