I'm looking for something to use in a dorm room. This say's "connector type: water line". Can we not simply plug in a reqular outlet?

there is no water connector for it. no ice maker or cold water on this unit. yes, just plug it in to a 110/120 volt 3 prong outlet and let it rip... very, very happy with ours..

This unit must run on a dedicated 220 line; the line is made for that and will not fit in a regular outlet. We are very pleased with this unit.

This model has only one outlet (cold water only). I use it for filtered water only (it is hooked upto a filtration cannister.) It is for drinking water only and not suitable to fill a sink to wash dishes as it would take too long.

No. And I wouldn't try it, either. Buy yourself a cheap downconverter (Amazon, also?) and just plug the two together, then plug into your outlet. Done. And safe. And the lamp won't overdrive and burn out within minutes. Also, it is a good idea to connect the water inlet and outlet with copper bendable connectors, with a good gradual bend in them so the UV light is "cut off" and can't shine internally within the piping onto anything that is rubber or plastic, or the UV will eat those materials. If you have copper pipe or brass the whole way, no problem. Don't be tempted to use flex SS braided hoses - they have a rubber liner.

It only comes with a power brick and cord. If she is using cable tv, they usually provide a coax cord for her. If she has free tv in the dorm, you may or may not need a coax cable--as the school may not provide them... If so, they are short money at any hardware store. The TV never ends up where we think it will be so maybe hold off on buying that cord until she gets setup in the room?? 5 feet could turn into 20, LOL!! Just my 2 cents!!

This is a plug in a regular electric outlet item (no hard-wiring). In other words, the same unit can be used in your living room during the day and be carried to and used in your bedroom at night. Just to be more specific, while you could carry it to another room, its length would make transporting it daily a bit of a chore. I was just trying to make it clear that it does not require hard-wiring.

You only connect to the sink line for hot water. Otherwise your cold line comes from the toilet supply line. They provided all parts for this.Yes you do not have to hook up the hot. The bidet has an automatic cut off if you use the cold only so it won't leak.Mine has worked great.

This comes with a plug and instructions on how to connect the plug so you can use in any normal wall outlet.When I got mine I thought I ordered the wrong one because wire plug was not on the vacume like my old unit. But thewire plug was in box and you just have to connect it.

It (1) doesn't have an exposed heating element, and (2) it does have an automatic shutoff ... those are the two typical requirements that colleges have for dorm-room-approved appliances. So I think you'll be OK. The cord is attached to the base, which has the on/off (and shutoff) switch; the heating element is inside the bottom canister, which has to sit on the base to heat up. As others have said, 110V AC power with standard (15A) two-prong plug. I don't know how much current it draws but I wouldn't try and run a microwave at the same time as brewing coffee!

standard 110 3 prong plug needs to be plugged into a GFI outlet because of the water use

In my installation my water line is in the ceiling and the outlet goes straight out through the wall above the sill. Both are at the same level. Installing the Basepump down low would have required more plumbing and it would have a harder time pushing the water out.

Hi, Sweet m. I don't have packaging or the product to look at. The current/amps required would be on the (UL) sticker on the bottom of the product. You can calculate the maximum current with I = P/V 1040 Watts/ 110 volts = 9.5 amps. This would work ok on a standard 15A or 20A circuit. If you are thinking about a dorm room, if they allow 1200W or 1500W hair dryers, this should be allowed too.

A lot of people are wrong in saying that this requires a cablecard. The cablecard is only required to decrypt channels. A channel that is not encrypted will come through just fine. It really depends on what signal you're getting to your room. If it's clearQAM this card will pick it up just fine without a cablecard.The only limitation I think is that this card does not tune analog signals. So if your college is pushing analog to your dorm room this card won't work.So the same goes for anybody in any situation, you need to figure out what the signal is you are receiving, and then choose the right solution for that signal.

It does not require electricity. It simply connects to you incoming water pipe

I have both hot and cold water outlets on the side of my house. I connect a washing machine hose (one with a Y shape) to the faucets and then to the shower unit. Works great. If it ever gets warm again up here in New England I'll be able to use the outdoor shower again.

No. That would require an input for both hot and cold water lines. This has only one input.

It plugs into a normal outlet. Not for the car, and it wets every thing near, and the linens or furniture becomes damp. I have not used mine since the first week I got it. Keep looking I would not recommend this unit.
