Can it be plugged in? Does it chill the water?

We have had our WaterCHef C7000 for three months and really appreciate it. No, it does not have any way to be plugged in, if you are referring to an electrical outlet. It comes with everything you need to hook it up to your water faucet. It does not chill the water, however, since you only run cold water through it, the water will be as cold as what you normally get from your cold water tap.

It attaches to the faucet directly and does not plug in. If you run cold water, you will get cold water. In fact, you should only run cold water according to manufacturer.

No, it just cleans the water but does not chill it and it doesn't plug in. It has a battery in it.

I was told you were already hot and didn't need to plug into anything! Or,did you mean how to get the water heated? If that's your question then my solution was to purchase a new product - a Hamilton-Beach temp controlled electric kettle(49$).

I don't think you can, as the water it uses is housed in the reservoir built on the device. That function also requires AC power.

Yes you do. I have mine on a balcony that has an outlet. If you don't plug the fountain in the water won't circulate on the three levels.

The actual cooling unit is 12V, but the controller board is 110V, so it uses a plug. Although it doesn't cool well. And after a number of repairs and modifications to try to get this thing to work without leaking, I eventually threw this thing in the garbage.

It does require a plug to get current. I would not put it outside, but if you have to, why not completely wrap it in a plastic bag and seal that bag with duct tape. That should keep condensation out.

It is not battery operated, though it could be set up for that option. As far as draining a hot tub............I would not use it for that purpose. It would do it, but it would probably take a week if not more.

Mine has been plugged in outside 24/7 since November with no problems whatsoever. And we have been as low as -10 water stays a nice temperature as well as the canned food.

As long as the water doesn't freeze and the plug stays dry, yes. I have one in my garage during the summer. Hope that helps you out!

Yes it actually needs to be fully submerged and is designed to work that way. If you are going to remove it for cleaning etc. you need to unplug it first. It should never be plugged in out of the water.

Yes it can be used plugged in. Also it can be used without being plugged in.

I'm sure the water would be warm but maybe not entirely HOT. It is large and a bit heavy to take with you though. I have mine plugged in 24/7, wouldn't want to be without it. This is our second one, the first lasted years and years.

I believe so. NEVER ENTER THE BATH WATER WITH THE HEATER PLUGGED IN! How long the water will stay warm depends upon the ambient room temperature of the area around the tub.

No. It has to be plugged in for use. It is very comfortable and works really good though. You can wrap it around you unlike a traditional heating pad.

No-it has to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Then yes, a refrigerator can be plugged into it.

Yes it needs a plug in but it sure is nice on those cold mornings regardless of finding a plug away from the water sources. I have really enjoyed mine living in the cold mountains with snow. It heats very nicely.
