Can this be used with an instant hot water system?

I don't, but it's all brass so why not...connect using 1/4" copper tubing. The metal would probably be very hot to the touch! Mine is hooked up with the water filter going to the ice maker.

No. The connection is directly to the line and you would have hot water on demand. I have this installed in a cabin that I built and so far works great.

I did that, it works fine. It all depends on how many people are in the house versus outside temp (my pipes are under house) to determine how long the instant warm water lasts.

Yes you can use it with hot water. You just have to use a hot water hose use a "Y" connector so you can also have cold.

Good question.... I have thrown the user manual away but using common sense I would never use Hot water with this filter. Always use cold water. It is a good filter but not industrial grade.

you can but it takes forever to have the hot water. I haven't tried this pump without the sensor but I believe that the key to have instant water is the sensor. I like to know too.

That's exactly what I'm using mine for. I hooked it to the hot water line below my sink and have instant hot water. The cold water in the line that used to run for about a minute out of my spout mixes with the water in the unit so that I never get cool water when running the hot water side of my faucet.

if you want instant hot water you need a valve at every sink. Our house has about a 60' run. I only installed 1 valve at the farthest point. The other sinks before it get hot pretty quick now but not as fast as the valved one.

We used a mixed hot and cold. No problem. The plastic is pretty heavy duty and I think you will have no problems with running hot water.

It will give near instant hot water but you must have a larger hot water heater which feeds this one or you will run out of hot water in little over two minutes. With a 30-gallon gas water heater in the basement, 40 feet away, this little heater worked just great -- instant hot water that really lasts.

If this is a closed hot water system, I would think that it should work. I use it in a motor home Aqua Hot hot water heating system. Hope this helps.

I really have no idea if you can for sure, you would have to ask your plumber, but I think you could because I actually have the opposite scenario. I have an Everpure water chiller hooked up to my insinkerator faucet that came with my hot water dispenser. I love having my hot water and chilled water readily available! Good luck!

No. The coffee makers should only be used to brew coffee or heat water for instant beverages. Preparing other hot beverages such as apple cider, hot chocolate or tea can damage the heating unit and voids the warranty.

Others have answered the question. If you are asking the question, then you probably will want the convenience of instant hot water more than the loss of space. Once installed, be gentle with the handle on the dispenser.

Yes, there is a panel in the heater where you can adjust the temperature to your needs. If your house is big, install a recirculating motor which will give you hot water instantly. You may disable the motor when hot water is not needed.

I don't see why it can't be used with hot water. However, I would be careful what you mix in with the hot water, i.e., salt and be cautious when touching the pitcher. Also be sure not to put the pitcher directly onto a heating element.

I don't think hot water would work well in it. It's insulated with a rubber material. I'm not sure but I can imagine it melting? I would try a reusable microwavable heating pad instead.
