Is this normal? First use, Hello Kitty heated water almost to hot tap water temperature about 105 degree overnitght. LIght was on.

No, they are cool mist. Mine doesn't heat the water at all. I had this problem with the last one I had and there was a piece of metal between the cap to the reservoir and the circle seal that is underneath it when you put it onto the base. It created water that was like tea temperature, normally the water should be cool like a little cooler than room temperature.

My water stays cold or room temp. Never ever warm. You may want to call about that.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

The key to making this unit work (to activate the hot water) is water flow or GPM. the normal temperature setting for household use is set at 120* If you choose to use this unit for another use, you may not get the desired results.

that's a tricky question. You should set it at a temp you are comfortable with. If you have kids, they say not high enough that pure hot water coming from your tap can scald. But if you like crazy hot showers...it's all you. As far as knowing what the temp is...you really just have to set it, let the heater come up to temp and then check the water coming out of the faucet. Mine are set to about 130F, but based on my piping configuration (slab foundation) I only get about 115-120 at the faucet which works for me and my family. Your top and bottom thermostat should be set to the same temp. Again, its your call for whatever you are comfortable with. that's a tricky question.

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

I had some trouble when it was -20F. the heater that comes with the unit is adjustable. It gets very warm/ hot when you turn it all the way hot. The water still freezes over some on the top.

I always have water over 165+ F available at the tap. But a weak bleach solution (10%) with a contact time of 2 minutes and then rinse with water. Also the tubes are available in stores like Home Depot and they are cheap.

My unit is kept at about the same temp as yours. It is a guest bedroom and doesn't get the constanttem change due to a humanbody or covers being on and off - however I checked it just now and -yes - it does feel rather warm. I honestly do not know if it feels like that all the time are just when it is actually warming the bed. As it cools down to room temperature and or below the currentwater temp - it will of course be activated and go into the warming mode. My guess is that is normal when it is in the heating mode. Mine has worked fine so far. Hope this helps.

I doubt there is ever a wide enough temperature differential between the cold tap water and the air in your house for this to be a problem. Do you have condensation on your current external tank?

The heating element is not exposed to water (I assume that's the question?) I had feared that would make it heat more slowly than another kettle I have where the element is exposed.

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help.Carol

I just did a test with a digital meat thermometer. On the slow water setting and all other settings on high the temp got up to 135. It also seem to keep the temp steady. If I stopped the flow of water the temp jump right back to 135 when I started flow again.

Hi Adrienne. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. When you first plug it in (and put water in it) you'll see that the temperature indicator light for 185 degrees lights up. If you press the "reboil/temp. Set" button, you'll see that you can select other temps that way. Keep pressing until it lands on the 208.4 F temp. It'll start boiling right away. It doesn't keep the water at 212 F (the boiling point) but at 209.4, the perfect temp for black tea. You can press that button again to get it to boil if you want (like for hot cereal or something that calls for boiling water). Does that answer your question? Hi Adrienne.

Fairly low heat or it gets too bitter. The hotter the water the less the time. You can also cold steep for several hours.Enjoy!

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this.

I had same problem. Keep pushing the Temp. button until all the lights on top row are lit. The only light on bottom row that is lit will be the 20 degree one. Works great. Hope this helps

Mine doesn't get very hot either. I started on M and didn't think it was very hot so I turned it to H and didn't notice any difference. Just checked the temperature on H is 150 degrees F.

the fixture gets warm, but not hot. I have noticed it raises the temp of the water by a degree or two. and it's an awesome light though
