This will be a fixture's only source of hot water. What's the recovery time once water runs cold?

It takes about the same time as refilling a teakettle and waiting for it to boil. We keep our temperature to hand washing comfort so it extends the life of the heater.

I use it for a hot tub heater .probably ok for hand washing or dishes ....not for a long shower

I don't know. I have it installed in an office where the heater is shared by two suites. It is used for handwashing only, so I doubt it has ever faced a recovery time.

It's a cold water washer. Never tried with hot water, and I don't think it works.

I filled the kettle with cold water up to the line, set it on the base & turned it on. The water was boiling and the light turned off in 5 and a half minutes.

I really don't have the answer to this. We always have hot water but I don't think we use the timer. Have you researched Laing's internet site?

Hi William. Mark here... Personally, the combination of the heater and the provider has been a nightmare. 2X now, the inner coils have burst from cold temps. If you live in a cold climate be very careful! T oanswer your quesytion, the unit is in our studio apt and to prepare to take a shower we must first turn on the sink hot wate which is near the shower to initiate the hot water. Then once the shower is turned on (as long as the unit continues to fire) we then tune thew sink off which allows the shower to keep flowing hot water. It's a querk for lack of a better term to say the least and I hope thatg answered your question. Hi William. Mark here...

I would get one with ONLY cold water supply. That is all we have and we have enjoyed them wihout hot water. Unless you have a Hot water recircling pump in that bathroom, it will probably take too long to get the hot water there anyway. If you are very cold natured, I would get one with dual temps, and have it installed by an expert, or a plumber. You will probably still need the pump unless you are very close to your hot water tank. Enjoy!

The water is only passed through the valve if the temperature of the warm water pipe falls below a certain value. In my experience, this is enough for the first 5-10 seconds of "cold" water to warm up a little. I never felt a difference in other faucets in the same chain, but even if there was a difference, it arguable couldn't be greater than the 5-10 seconds on the faucet with the valve.

it is just slow, but in 15-20 minutes it should heat the water, if not, verify the fuse or verify whether the contacts between the sock and the cup

cold water works great. to hook up hot water you would have to run a line from the sink

I usually let the cold water run after it shuts of for 30 sec then shut off the water to it for another 30 sec to let it cool. Then I can turn it back on for another 20 min.

We have ours in a part time location so we unplug each time. Water is hot within 10-15 minutes and we don't ever notice we run out.

Unfortunately I don't think this will work for you. I have had mine freeze up when it is only down to 0°F. so I think you'd have real problems at -40. There is not much insulation in there, so it might work if you sprayed more insulation inside and maybe put a gasket between the fixture and the ground and maybe another gasket on the access door on the side. I don't know if there are other waterers that would work any better. It is also critical that the waterline feeding the waterer does not freeze up below grade as it passes through the frost line. I had this occur to me one time and used halogen lamps to heat up the ground. Unfortunately I don't think this will work for you.

The water is hot even in cold climate. My basement is not heated and shower is on 2nd fl I don't have a problem. Realize that the cold water already in the pipe has to come out first so it takes a minute to expel that.

Only cold water connection. The unit heats it up using electrical power. Get it you will be pleased.

Hello C. Christopher, it's not recommended to run hot water through the filter. Just run cold water when you switch to use the filter. And also, when you first installed the filter system on, let it run on cold water for about 4-5minutes, that's only when the filter is new, after that it will be ok. But again don't recommend running hot water through it ever. I hope I have answered your question and helped a bit. Have a nice one.

Turn the machine off and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow it to sit and hour or two unplugged, and then empty out all water you may have put in the machine. Put new water into the reservoir making certain you do not fill it above the maximum fill line. Distilled water is best, and will save you time down the road from having to clean off excessive mineral deposits from the freezing elements, but at minimum use good filtered water and not the junk that comes straight from the faucet. Next, plug the machine back in and press the power button. Do not attempt to set the clock or the timer. Ignore those buttons completely. Select your ice size (it really doesn't matter which one you choose just to test the machine - any size will do.) You should almost immediately hear the machine pumping water from the reservoir into the freezing chamber. It will sound like water quietly trickling and lasts a couple of seconds. If you hear that, you know the pump is working. You should also hear the compressor kick on after the water has been pumped into the freezing chamber, and if you place your hand next to the the exhaust port you ought to begin feeling slightly warmed air blowing out. Within 10 to 12 minutes your first batch of ice will be done. You hear very audibly when the machine slides the ice off the freezing elements and they tumble onto a temporary holding platform. Then you will hear the ice being raised up on the platform and pushed off of it down into the catch basket. The clattering of the ice is unmistakable. If these things do not happen within 12 to 15 minutes of when you turned the power on, something is not right with the machine. You'll most likely need to notify Amazon and have it replaced.
