It is normal for the water unit to be hot as the water is heated. However, my unit malfunctioned that I had 2 or 3 units eventually after warranty replacements and none were satisfactory. Have replaced with April air unit which is much superior.

When the unit is humidifying it gets hot, the compartment is the boil chamber.

Yes, the exterior does get quite hot. Top and sides will evaporate a splash of water in seconds.

I started with warm water and let it cool to the desired temp. If I noticed that it got too cool I put a towel over the container to keep some heat.

I store mine at about 80-F and have not had this problem with this brand. For other brands, I have had to place it in warm water for a while and shake it up well.

Yes, all the time. I think it is normal. Annoying too. I'm sure if you add less water it might burn off but you don't want to burn the plate out.

The base does get hot you should give it some time to cool off before u pick it up.

It does get hot but not the pack. The connection at the outlet gets very hot.

I am sorry this I can not be much help about your question. I have used it hard already but it has never gotten hot so that I had to stop. I am very happy with this unit, do wish the container was a little larger, perhaps that is why it has never gotten too hot as I have to stop and turn it off dump the container put it back in and restart it, that might be enough of a stop so that it does not get too hot?

Yes. It is normal. I think of . it kind of like how an air condition unit works. It is continuously regulating the temperature to get it to the temperature. I could elaborate but I think you get the idea. Hope I helped.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

Yes this is normal. It will be hot to the touch but I don't think it will cause blistering. When you install it the pump to the filter, make sure you breathing room at the bottom vent.

No, that isn't normal. I have used mine all summer and it never did that. I would contact the seller for a replacement.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

Yes. this is normal. Because you are pushing the water from the hot water side to the cold water side. The valve will stop the flow of water from the hot to cold water side at a certain threshold temperature. And this temperature is somewhere on the warm side. Therefore the cold water side will be warmer than expected and you will have to run the cold water side until you get the water to the cooler temperature that you want. This is one of the drawbacks of this type of system. It cannot be helped. It's basically a compromise based on the need to get hot water faster. The only way you will truly get the instant hot water and cold water is to set up your plumbing system whereby the entire hot water supply line daisy chains all your fixtures such that the last fixture has a hot water return line running all the way back to the water heater. But this will cost you money to have a plumber do that. This hot water recirculating system is a compromise to save costs.

Yes! I fill it with cold tap water and it still comes out hot enough. Almost "McDonalds" hot. lol

It does not get hot but I would be cautious just the same. The face where the sir comes out is the hottest.

No, this bottle is not meant for hot liquids, as with every stainless steel water bottle that is not a thermal one, the container becomes hot when filled with hot liquids.
