Will this unit cool the water?

No. Even though it is a heat pump there is no setting that will cool the water.

Actually I believe more research may be needed. I know some heat pumps do in fact cool as well as heat the water. I see on the heat-pro models there is actually a refrigerant listed in the specs so its possible they do. I haven't purchased on...YET so I can not say for sure.

Probably no - there is no indication that it will cool that water any colder than ambient room temperature. No way to plug it in, et cetera. Seems to me to be a simple crock that won't have plastic and styrofoam bits getting yucky, just a simple easy to sanitize crock.

Not really. The more humid it is, the worse this does. You can get it to continue working with ice and such, but then you're not really getting actual effect from the device as much as a fan over a thing of ice/iced water.

Yes some. BUT... If there is no hose or anything to let the water get hot; as soon as the pet touches it the cold water will cool it very fast.

Hi, This is an evaporative cooler; it has a built in circulating fan and pump. It cools by blowing room air over pads that evaporate the water into the air thus cooling the pads and the air flowing over them. The higher the humidity the less effective the unit is. It's better than nothing but I probably wouldn't buy it again. Regards, Merle

I don't know if it will blow circuits or not. I doubt it. But i'm not an engineer or electrician, so i couldn't say for sure. I think it will keep heating, but it doesn't put out a great deal of heat, just enough to keep the water from freezing. I'm around enough to refill the water. If I were gone for a few days, I would unplug it.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

If you Turn on all hot water, it will cool down if it is replenish with cold water! It will take some time to reheat the water in the tank! This unit is great for kitchen sinks where you have the need for a gallon or two for rinsing or small washing jobs! I cannot say enough good about this little heater. It is wonderful for the application that I use it for.

absolutely! it cools a 2-bedroom condo. easy-to-use and just wash the filter off once a week. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Yes, but maybe not at the same time. Flow rate goes down to maintain set temperature. Be very careful about hard water. It will clog the unit. Mine clogged after 6 months. I think it NEEDS soft water.

No not at all. If you want to go above 140 deg. you need a optional controller. This controller can be remotely mounted so you can have greater control over the water temp.

Probably, as I am just an average home owner. The biggest issue I see is trying to get it installed. I was replacing a broken unit, and the mounting screws aligned easily. I don't think the temperature of the water would effect the operation of the unit.

I do not think it will. It is a very low flow, and does not get hot. Just luke warm.

I am unsure but with a breeze behind the unit and the water running through the filter, it is quite cool.

Yes it does. Unit takes some fine tuning once on water. Spend some time with it and it works well.

Absolutely! It it a regular fan that also has evaporative cooling when filled w/water & included ice pack or ice cubes. Works great borth ways.

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.
