How does this affect your water bill?

Very little depending on how long you use it. Just a very fine mist is sprayed.

I installed this pump the day before Sandy hit and my house (in the flood fringe of the Delaware River, so prone to flooding and sits low in the water table) was without electricity for 5 days. My water bill went up $4 that month.

Not sure, I use this at a room I rent when I travel for work and the electricity is included in my bill. Although they haven't said that it went up any. I have used it for two summers.

I haven't really noticed a huge difference In my electric bill. Certainly not enough to stop me from using it. I think it's one of the best dryers I've ever used. And if it ever stopped working I would just replace it with the same model.

Yes it does. You will find water flow is reduced when using this. I don't know if there are other items in the marketplace that does' affect water flow.

Hi Merry Christmas! Good question I actually checked and the answers is no. My bill is only a bit higher because I have more people here over the holidays and maybe because I'm taking longer showers cause of the awesome full feel of the water from the shower head. LOL

I haven't noticed any changes in my electricity bill that could be attributed to this instant hot water system. While it works much like a conventional house electric hot water heater, it is only heating 2/3 of a gallon, not 30 or more gallons. It is under my kitchen sink and you can hear it cycle, much like a refrigerator does, to maintain the temperature. So, it is not really heating all the time, just as needed.

It doesn't use enough electricity to make a difference in your electric bill. The seat stays warm but heats up more as you're using it. You can control how warm the seat gets and how warm the water gets. We absolutely love it!

You would have to wait for it to circulate the water so the only advantage I can think of is you are not wasting water while you wait as you did before. Mine runs continuously unless we are away from home for any period of time and I can not see any substantial increase in electricity use plus the hot water is there within seconds so I'm sure I an offsetting any increase in electricity use with much less water usage.

I did not see any difference in my bill, but my bill is not the same every month. Still there was no big jump in the amount! Hope that helps!

I did not notice any drop in water pressure at all, but I'm on a city system and my water pressure is actually to high! But I thing it all comes down to the filter cartridge, you use, the more they filter out the more restrictive, lowering your water pressure. Some filter cartridges filter out down to one micron and need changed monthly, may lower your water pressure. I use the ones that need changed every three months, and when they flushed our water lines, I had a lot of junk trapped by my filter. I also ran 3/4" pipe from the pipe interring the house to the filter before I tied it into my house system, which is using 1/2" pipe. No problems so far, I would recommend the Watts filter to anyone.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the type of water that is used. If it is distilled, tap water, from a water softener, etc. I seemed to notice a difference in the length of time when I moved.

I am really sadden by the amount of waste water! My water bill went up $50 a month since using this item! I have a family of 5 and use it for drinking and cooking water. I estimate that we waste about 8 gallons of water a day 30x8=240 gallons of wasted water a month...and that is estimating low. No wonder my water bill has gone up so much. I may have to stop using it. I live in a desert and it's just irresponsible to waste so much water!

I don't know that I agree with him. My bills appear to be rather even in so much as my electric bill went up because of using the electric water heater, yet my gas bill went down because I'm not keeping a tank of hot water constantly heated using gas. I use gas sparingly even in the winter with heat. I like to keep it pretty cold but use electric space heater's in the rooms where I'm actually living. I live in a small condo so I was glad to have the extra space that isn't taken up by a large water heater.It gave me space for a mop bucket brooms etc. Hope this is useful to you

It has not affected water flow at all. On the other hand, I have not seen real results yet as far as hardness residues or haziness on our dishes after running the dishwasher. We installed it a couple of months ago.

Actually, I have found the opposite to be true. I cannot say it is a drastic savings, but I know factually -- my natural gas bill has ebbed down. Moreover, my water usage has also dropped -- substantially. Just an observation though: don't install it in the master bath if you are a "light" sleeper.

The power of the stream will depend on how much you have your faucet turned on.
