Can this Hose be used with hot water ?

Absolutely. We are a small nano brewery and hook this hose up to a hot water faucet. Pumps the water out at around 125F. I believe it's rated up to 160F. but check on the mfg website to be sure. Do not use it for boiling temps (over 200F). The interior jacket is a NSF rubber (buna N I believe). For temps over 200F you want to only use silicone tubing or metal.

according to mfgr, not hot water rated unless specified as such. Company does make what you look for, contact them and they will point you to source.........hope this helps..........Dave

Can't say that I know for sure but its certainly seems adequate. I wouldn't be afraid to use it for hot water. Here in California the hose gets very hot just laying in the sun and its fine.

I would say yes. I have it connected to the outdoor faucet in the AZ sun. The water that comes out of the hose is very hot for the first minute. No damage to the hose.

The hose leaked (bad, sprayed) when I just used straight hot water (lucky I heard it)... When I mixed or just used cold water there was no problem. After the hot water incident I had no problems with the hose leaking...

I've only had the chance to use mine once and it worked fine. It was quite hot. Call the mfg as you may have a defective hose.

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.

I don't see why not! The hose is rated to be safe for drinking the water which passes through it so I would assume that it would be entirely safe to use for bathing your dog. As long as the water you are using is safe and clean then you should be fine! My only concern would be in regards to using hot water; if you were running hot water through the hose then it could potentially lead to toxic agents out of the hose material as the water passes through it. If the water is cold however, the leaching affect should not occur.

I don't see why not. But I did not put hot water in it. FYI it does not have a drain plug.

Do not use boiling hot water. I ignored the instructions and figured I could get away with it, but it melted the cap on the reservoir and leaked heavily afterwards requiring a new reservoir.

No, it says never to use hot water in the unit, but it does just fine with cold water. I have never used the detergent , but you can use power washer detergent in it.l

I would imagine you could. But it is really just a "garden hose" for cold/cool water. But if you want something for truly hot water, like what comes from a hot water heater, for distribution where you can't tolerate leakage or failure you probably want something else. Easy enough to find, go to a good hardware store. Finally, this is just a garden hose. If you are concerned about heat I would look elsewhere.

It is not recommend to use hot water in it. It can distort the appearance of the bottle and can be very hot to the touch since it is a plastic bottle.

I have not tried it with hot water so I cannot say for sure. I only use it solely for cold brewing and on that regard, it works great!

Yes it will. You can get water super hot by using more propane and less flow. On the other hand you can get warm water by using less propane and higher flow. This unit is made in China and is not high quality, it has very thin metal and is flimsy. If you are careful with it and don't bump it around it should work.

"Hot" is too general of a term.....this pvc piece is suitable for average temperatures . Hot water from the tap is absolutely fine....but boiling waters would be too far and extreme for this fitting to withstand over time. ......

I don't know and the manufacturer's answer is not clear to me. "No, the filter can still be used with a heated hose." I think it would depend upon where your water inlet is located and with insulation around fittings and filter.

i don't see why not? the reason why we purchased the hose was for the use on our trailer,when camping we are able to drink the water from the hose,which was the main purpose.

I bought this specifically for use with hot water around 180 degrees. Hot water may damage regular garden hoses (or maybe not) but I wanted to play it safe.

This is a very durable how and has held up well so far. I have not tried to run hot water through it, but I believe hot tap water would be fine.
