Would it be appropriate to use this under the kitchen sink with a hot water dispenser (for tea, cooking, etc?)

This does not let the water get that hot. I use mine in an office because of the size of the heater (small) and the water is used for hand washing and minor clean-ups.

IMHO no. Doesn't get that hot I would say u get 30-35 degree boost only. If that's enough and u don't mind microwaving it further ur ok

Hi Phantom, If I recall correctly, that is exactly what I purchased it for. I worked for a property management company of the time of purchase and we replaced the unit in the kitchen sink with this one. It worked fine.

No, the water pressure that you receive is not great enough for that application The SR-30L is more suited for hand washing applications.You would be much happier with a larger unit such as Rheem RTE-13. Requires 230v with 60 amp breaker.Requires 230v with 60 amp breaker but gives you unlimited supply of hot water.

I don't think so. Heats water about 40 degrees above incoming temp. Warm but not hot.

I believe they only recommend heating the water as you are not supposed to submerge it to wash it. I wouldn't brew tea in it but it would be nice to be able do that and reheat your tea...

You could, But I would not, it does not have enough flow of water to wash dishes. Its is fine for Bathroom sink use. Just flat out not enough water moving thru it for washing dishes, etc.

I don't see why not. It has a plastic water collection tray that it sits in when it's placed on the counter. If you wanted to put it in the sink you wouldn't need the tray underneath the rack. I love my rack. It's perfect for a small apartment with a galley kitchen.

There are only practical considerations that would limit its location. For example, you'd just need more tubing, etc. I guess you could have it just about anywhere. It's just more simple to put it under the sink.

No this wont work for the kitchen sink. Not safe to use for drinking water. It wont hook to the sink, it is for outside hose bib.

No I disconnected my furnace hot water and replaced it with this heater for sink use only. now it supply's hot water immediately since it is mounted under the sink.

yes, but if pouring hot liquids into a cold bowl, i would temper the bowl by running it under hot tap water.

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 I think that will work fine. You can use it just to generate hot water. Hope this helps!

Absolutely but I wouldn't submerge it entirely just under the faucet and let the water run on it. Just make sure you sit it so that the water runs out drain holes and let it dry for 24 hours before you use it.

I would not. This is the type of kettle that you want to pour hot water into; not the type of kettle you want to heat water with.

Absolutely. I scour mine occasionally to keep it clean or run water from the faucet through it while it's attached to the sink. . It's a great little addition to the kitchen. Have had mine since the Spring.

Hi Tom. You certainly can install this heater under the sink toekick space, but if it is possible I would suggest installing it under an adjacent cabinet as the kickspace heater can get pretty hot when the unit turns on and it can be a bit annoying when someone is trying to wash dishes or load/unload the dishwasher!

We have ours under the sink in the kitchen and the water does get very hot. As for running a dishwasher with only 2.5 gallons you might consider a larger tank.

I put under the sink. I have had it for several months now. Works great, no leaks.
