Can this be used with an InstaHot or is it only for cold filtered water?

I am guessing both hot and cold. I use it for filling cold filtered water to a coffee pot directly into the coffeemaker.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's for filtered tsl water- cold only - we had them cut s hole in the Quartz countertop for this

yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up

It would not work for a whole house filter but it could be dedicated to the cold water line at a kitchen sink for example. The thread size of the filter head connections limit the line size and losses within the filter limit the flow and pressure. You may not have the pressure and flow rate you normally expect.

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

Negative, this does not filter well enough, if you have a boil advisory I would stick to boiling it. I use this as a whole house filter, and in addition I use a filter on my drinking water tap that filters down to 2 microns, this filter only does 5 microns, even if it did filter down to 2 microns, I'd still recommend boiling the water with your advisory!

I used this one to replace it on a ice tea dispenser. It is great! Works better than the original one. And it is not dripping!!! I have it more than a year on the container and it works still great! Not sure how big the spigets are on an igloo cooler

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

I have the same issue, I tried to use cold water, tap water, filtered water same results. Let me know if you get an answer.Christophe

Yes, you can use it with the filter in your frig. This one is external to the appliance and fits in the middle of the water line.

I wouldn't advise letting the filter freeze. When water freezes it expands & when it expands you risk damaging the filter.

If the freezing temperature is only during the night and warms up to above freezing during the day, this method would be OK. The concern is how long the filter will be effective with water running through constantly.

This is a hot water tank and makes hot water only. It is used with a faucet/dispenser that goes above the sink. Some of the faucet/dispensers have dual heads - one for the hot and one for the "cold" water which is basically just the same temp that you would get out of your cold water faucet. But if you have the filtration system hooked up, the water is filtered.

This has it's own faucet. This is not to be installed on a regular faucet, unless you did some fancy plumbing to the cold side ONLY. These filters are not to be used for hot water. The problem with installing this to filter all the cold water that comes out of you tap is, it simply will not provide enough flow. So, for example, if you are turning your water on warm full blast, the cold side will not flow near as fast as the hot, and the water will be too hot. This system is designed to provide pure, cold water so you can start drinking from the tap again and use this water in your coffee making and cooking. In our home, I installed a filtration system to replace bottled water use. This has it's own faucet.

Yes, the water does go into the "main body" of the diffuser. I do not know the exact purpose, but I think it somehow helps to make the cold vapor that is released.

If you want to have hot water out of the red tap or cooled water out of blue tap....yes. If not, then no but why would you want this if you just wanted filtered tap water. Many cheaper solutions for that.

I use it with filtered water, but I don't see a problem using it with tap water since it has a big filter inside the tank. I do not get any of the white powder that usually comes with ultrasonic humidifiers.

Yes. And just about any filtration system works - its placed in-line with the cold water before a Y-adapter that takes the filtered water to either the unit's hot tank or head unit's cold water out. The Y-adapter with 1/4" connections comes with the Hot/Cold models. Since I got a different brand filter unit which had 3/8" out I need to get an extra adapter for 3/8" to 1/4" connection. I'm pretty sure the F2000S will have all the needed 1/4" fittings.
