Can you heat the water outdoors then take it inside a home to use it (during a power outage)?

Yes. You use propane to heat, and it has an indicator that tells you how hot the water is, then when you carry the canister inside you MUST place it on a heat tolerant surface. It stands pretty tall when on the burner. I heat mine then put it on a cement paver in my shower/outhouse because of the wood floor. Also the burner can be used as an extra cooking burner. I love this for camping but definitely good for power outage for bathing and dishes.

Absolutely. I heated it up on my camp stove and didn't even use the included burner. Works great! You heat up the water to about 100 degrees F and then you can take it anywhere. There is a thermometer on the side.

Yes you can do exactly that or you can take it canping and freshen up everyday. It's a great piece of gear and very well built. Worth the money for sure

As long as you can light the burner and carry 24 pounds of water you can certainly do that.

You can heat the water on the propane stand and take it wherever you like. It only holds three gallons of water, if that is enough for you. It also has a hand pump like on a bicycle hand pump to give it pressure.

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

Sure, just leave the hot disconnected or off. I have mine in an outdoor kitchen

I am sure that it can be used as a back-up for the solar. It will probably need some kind of diverter for the water so the water will not go through the heater when the solar is OK. Sort of like a thermostat that will open when it is needed and close when it is not. However, I do not think that this type of water heater is appropriate for that function.

Yes you can but I would avoid this heater. Mine like several others quit working shortly after I bought it.

I don't see why not, as long as you are careful about water and a live power cord.

I suppose you could use it just for water. You could use a pot to heat water also. Seems like a silly question.

No, you just need access to the regular water pipe going in to the reservoir. It has an internal heating mechanism to warm the water to 3 temp levels.

I really don't think you can because the hot water gets hot when plugged in and I also believe that makes the water col.

There's a power override switch under sink you can easily switch to get water in power outage. love the faucet, wasn't sure at first, but very used to it now

No. It has to be plugged in. Best not used near basin or sink filled with water.

In the event of a power outage you will not have a supply of hot water as you would with a conventional gas hot water tank. As far as the effects of hard water I am uncertain. The unit is however safe , economical and efficient in its continuous supply of hot water

There are instructions to clean the unit periodically to avoid mineral build up.In event of a power outage you only need to reset the temperature but you will not have water (hot) until the power returns

Yes, you may. Just move your settings from timer to "on" position. Remenber this is a small pump, you can't have hot water right away.

Absolutely. We put this in our cabin as back heat in the event we are not there when a power outage occurs. We have one in our home - it does a wonderful job - be sure to run ceiling fans if you are planning to use it on a regular basis as they can cause house to sweat.
