I'm in Honduras, at my d.i.l.'s, she has a gravity feed water system. No hot water. She had an electric instant hot water in the shower that overheated/ melted. I made her throw it away. Suggestions? Brands?

Really happy with my unit. Need electrician to install. Never a rust problem (nice for humid climates). Saves a lot of money too.

My first answer: buy another, they're inexpensive. But if you want to clean none, run hot water and use a degreasing detergent, and soak it an hour, scrub it, rinse it. Seriously, save the trouble and buy a new one.

Just run the facet to bring the water to the bathroom. That is what we do. I am a female and love the warm water feature. I put the first one (cold water because the other was higher, wish I went ahead and bought it anyway) in by myself, but needed help with the warm water one because we ended up replacing the lines under the sink that had rotted and we didn't know it until we started to connect the hot water line under the sink.

Yes, we heat our water to a comfortable temperature, maybe just a tad bit warmer. I'm not sure what the maximum temperature would be for water, I would think whatever the plastic piping would take, presumably up to boiling? Hope this helped. We really are sold on our ZODI. One 5 gal bucket of water will give you more than enough to take a shower.

I will ask my Dad. I think he used hot water and worked at it a bit. But, he is very pleased with the results. I will ask him and get back to you.

Not too sure about the wattage, may want to Google it. Buuuut, my gravies boil (not a rapid boil), so I'm sure water would. I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't use it often.

I had a Giotto freeze up from the calcium buildup during a drought in Texas, the water was literally white coming out of the tap. The lever's range of motion was severely restricted, I tried the Dezcal, but it sadly didn't work for me & I had to buy a new machine. Call Whole Latte Love, they are a wealth of knowledge & very helpful to the coffee community. I have learned my lesson & now only use bottled spring water.

I don't have experience with doing that, but this machine does have a limit to how hot the water can be that you put in it. How hot are you looking to go? If the water is too hot for you to touch/ work with, it is too hot for this machine. I generally go by the rule of "if I would shower in this temperature, then we are okay, anything hotter is pushing it". Its made out of plastic, and the parts can melt if you go to, say, boiling.

I heat the water I need in a 5 gallon bucket. Then I remove the heater and use the water to take my bath. I would never have an electrical device plugged in that is also in my bath water - Very dangerous - unless you want a shocking experience!

I use hot water, under tap. But for instructions, try below link from the world wide web of goodies :)http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&scy;=us&ctn;=1250X/40

My wife and I are going full-time in a travel trailer. We look forward to continuous hot water. Thanks for the advice!

I just used water from the tap. When I went to a doctor they too just used water from the faucet. It's important to use warm water though otherwise you may get dizzy and fall. Red the directions on the package for more info.

Hi Aimee , Just go home. Will check for you. The one I have works well and no problems. Will contact you later. Went running and need a shower. Ron

We haven't noticed an increase in our water bill due to the fact that it is our guest bathroom so hasn't been used a lot but the week our daughters and families were here they mentioned they ran out of hot water only after two showers, and we have a 40 gallon water heater, so my husband is thinking we need to get a shower head that doesn't use so much water.

Dear Michael, I am sorry to read that you are experiencing problems with this heater as well - it sounds like exactly the issue we had. Please avoid the mistake I made and do not spend thousands on attempts to fix it. Please read my review to get a sense of what we experienced and don't waste any more time and money on this product. By the way, the water heater I replaced it with is still going strong and I haven't had to think about hot water since I got rid of the Bosch. Best of luck!

I removed mine and gave it a blasting shower with the hose. It was a hot day, and it dried fast. Also, I made sure to -not- give those parts that seemed particularly electronic anything like a leisurely water bath. :) It continues to function flawlessly without a whimper over the incident. I'm just reporting what I did. Not meant for advice at all. And when I approach fans with the hose, I am always in acceptance that that I could bring an end to their healthy life. Yet I've done it for years, and have thus far got away with it. (Note- always on hot days, where they dry immediately.)
