I live with my sister in a beautiful apartment in her basement. I was thinking of putting this between the room that houses the water heater &amp; my living room. Do you think it would work?

My opinion is that I think it would work... I actually have it setup in my basement as a precaution.

That is exactly what we did with ours. We installed it under our kitchen sink as the water heater is quite far from the kitchen and it was taking quite a while for the warm water to arrive. Now it is almost instantaneous. Julie

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 ".

Works for us. Pump is in the basement with the heater. Basement is 12 feet deep and four sinks are on the first floor. Working just fine. House is all plastic pipe.

I don't think that would be a good idea, with the threat of a water leak. Mine is under a kitchen cabnet.

yes it does work pretty good with a single outlet of low flow. the only other thing i will add to that is the temperature will fluctuate a little bit especially if the water temperature is colder coming into the heater.

You can do it either way. I place mine between the main water heater and faucet sink. That way I get hot water until the hot water from the main water heater get to the faucet. Then the water stays hot.

I would love to help, but i bought this as a gift. And, my nephew and wife live in a house without a basement.So, i really do not know. Good luck.

You may wish to check the specifications, but the size of the room will also depend on the humidity the unit must remove. We have ours in a large unfinished basement area, and it is doing the job quite well. My assessement from a lay perspective is that it will handle a large room or small one-floor apartment nicely. It won't handle a house. I would be overkill for a typical sized-bedroom or bathroom alone.

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

Yes, but it will deplete the oxygen in the air and in too small of a room since it is not vented. Therefore it should not be used as a sole source of heat in a living area. Is fine for basements, garages and emergency heat.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

Our room is in the basement and is about 16 X 13. We have carpet in there. The heater seems to do what we want it to do.

I've never looked into it. It would only work in the bedrooms. There is no doors or separation in my utility room, kitchen, living room and dining room. It is not a big enough unit to cool that large of an area. However, if there were doors separating these room, it is feasible to roll it around.

One thing to note is that you can install equipment interface next to or near the thermostat - it does not need to go to the basement (distance between equipment and unit is limited to 39 meters IIRC however).

Yes, Sandra it will. My basement is very, very chilly in the winter sometimes the temperature doesn't get higher than 40 degrees and I have a 50 gallon tank with 4 red ear sliders. I set the 200 watt heater on high and it keeps the water around 65 degrees. I know they would like it warmer so I have a heat lamp over top of the platform where they can go and get warmer. I have had this heater for at least 5 months and it seems to be working well, "glad I purchased it."

If you are putting it in the basement it would be fine. No suitable for the bedroom or living room if noise is a concern. It does work good and as a large dehumidifier the noise is acceptable.
