Can I use this for hot water to a dishwasher? (The smaller diameter means lots more hot water gets from the water heater to the dishwasher.)

Yes u can but make sure u leave little margin for expansion / contraction ( e.g leave a loop in between ) Below are some tips : http://www.familyhandyman.com/plumbing/pex-piping-everything-you-need-to-know/view-all#step13

sure...but not much more. more to the point you are not wasting gallons of water waiting to get hot water at the sink. this was one of the best home improvements i made and i made a lot of them

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

I don't think I would recommend the dishwasher, the opening to place the water is large enough for your hand

Hi Mike, Thank you for your question. This unit may be able to handle your dishwasher. The typical flow rates of hot water on a dishwasher is .5 to 1.0 gallons per minute. The L in a Chronomite model means .5 gallons per minute. The ones without the L mean 1 gallon per minute. Then refer to the temperature rise number on the particular Chronomite model. The SR20L/240 has a 65F temperature rise at .5 gallons per minute. Kind regards, Ross GadgetsGo Shopkeeper 305-791-1101 P.S. If you have found my advice valuable, please consider that during your purchasing decision.

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.

Absolutely. I have used both sizes of this pot for brewing hot tea. It has come in and out of the dishwasher countless times, looking like new. As with any glass tea pot you have to make sure you do not subject it to abrupt changes in temperature. Give it a swirl of hot tap water before putting tea in.

For a short shower it will do fine by itself. If you plumb it to your other hot water heater it will certainly shorten the time it takes fore you to get hot water to your shower as well and you can take longer showers or a bath. I use it as a pre-warmer for a small on-demand heater and it works well for that. I have another one in the kitchen for dishes and could not be happier.

Of course you can use it with hot water, it's a shower filter. I like mine. It really makes a difference in the softness of the shower water.

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

You can not use hot water with this filter. It is designed to attach to the faucet so under sink is not the best location.

No problem. I often turn the faucet to put hot water in a pan sitting on the counter to soak. Love, love, love having this at my sink.

It can but I believe the warm water sprays more steam . It's a great littleSteamer though :-)

No it is way to small for it. I would advise to when you change the water to clean it then.

I have never tried it for hot water but I am pretty sure it is not designed for hot water or the seals inside. I would not use it for that purpose.

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.

I would imagine you could. But it is really just a "garden hose" for cold/cool water. But if you want something for truly hot water, like what comes from a hot water heater, for distribution where you can't tolerate leakage or failure you probably want something else. Easy enough to find, go to a good hardware store. Finally, this is just a garden hose. If you are concerned about heat I would look elsewhere.
