InSinkErator HOT150 Instant Hot Water Dispenser System - Faucet & Tank, Chrome, H-HOT150C-SS

If you are comfortable putting a new faucet onto a sink then this should be no trouble for you. A pro plumber should have no trouble at all. All you need is a spare hole in the counter where you want the hot tap to go, and a 115v socket under the sink where you want the main unit to go. Keep in mind that the socket will need to be hot at all times to keep the water in the tank hot. My socket was switched so that it controlls the garbage disposal. I was replacing my disposal at the same time, so I added an insinkerator countertop switch (requires another spare countertop hole). Now I just leave the wall switch on, which keeps the HOT150 powered, and use the counter switch to turn the disposal on & off. If i want the hot water off like if I'm off on vacation, I can just flip the wall switch. If you don't have a countertop hole for this, you might need to rewire your under-sink socket so it has a switched socket, and an always-hot socket.The water lines provided are somewhat short, so I got a 18in piece of braided stainless hose and adapted it to the lines from the unit. The unit uses a 1/4" copper tube as its main feed line, so you will need to purchase a T-fitting to add a new outlet on your sink's supply to feed the unit, and a compression fitting for the copper line, plus whatever other tubes and adapters. In my setup I have a standard sink tee->braided hose->stepdown adapter->compression fitting. you may wind up with something a little different depending on if you need the extra hose and what fittings your store carries.once you have all the connection bits its really plug and play: drop the faucet in from the top, screw the unit to the wall, plug in the lines from the faucet to the unit, connect the copper feed to the sink supply. Then you flush the unit for a couple of min and plug it in. Job done.In operation its pretty simple. I didn't flush as carefully as the instructions say and I did get some gurgling noise when its heating for the first day or two. I also found that when turned all the way up it actually boils the water inside. Possibly due to some air pockets, but I'd leave it set at 75% or lower to start, as it can definitely heat up above 212deg in some cases. safer to start on the cool side and bump it up till you get the temp you want. After I got the temp dialed in and the air flushed out its been quiet and excellent. I live a lone so I'm making single drinks at a time - I don't know if larger families might find the reservoir too small.Overall if basic plumbing (and possibly a little electric work) don't bother you this should be easy to install and seems to be a nice unit.

My former hot water tank started leaking and was not repairable so I bought this one to replace it. It is super easy to install though a second set of hands can speed along the process. The faucet is also easy to install. It works perfectly to dispense instant hot water to rinse off dishes (great on greasy items), to warm up a cup before pouring coffee or tea, or get super hot water to boil for pasta. The hot water dispenser can also be used to rinse off sticky honey jars, loosen metal lids on glass jars, wet a cloth to clean counters and other areas, rinse off a serving spoon before reusing, heat a knife before cutting a flourless chocolate cake, or warming a spoon before digging into a rock hard carton of ice cream! Get it as you'll never imagine how you managed without one!

Excellent product. It was a replacement and I installed it myself. Great instructions

I am on my third one of these. They are great and put out hot water instantly everytime with the ease of pushing a lever. They are easy to install without much experience. They are usually installed under the cabinet so you don’t see them but if you had to install it in plain sight they don’t look bad with the plastic housing. It’s a convenient small size for how much hot water they produce on demand. As it being my third one I have noticed they last about 5 years before the seal is compromised and allows air into the system and won’t allow to build pressure to push water out. This is the best value I could find and definitely worth it for 5 years os use.

Replace that old kitchen countertop hot water tank with this bit of kit, I cant believe I went so many years without. Recently did a kitchen remodel and thought, why not - lets spend a little extra and get a hot water dispenser. This thing is worth its weight in gold, I had no idea our family would get so much use out of it, and the water is nearly instantly hot its actually pretty surprising.Have had zero issues with it in almost 2 years of daily use, it was super easy to install and luckily the included facet matched the main sink faucet so win-win!If this thing for any reason broke, I would go out and buy another one instantly, not many things I can say the same about, but truely my family cant live without it, the amount of cups of tea it has made the hot water for is actually pretty nuts.If you are on the fence about getting one, if you boil water for anything from hot coco, ramen, to tea, this is a game changer.5/5

Heats water to 180 degrees which is just right for beverages. Faucet is easy to operate and looks fabulous. Very easy to install, it took me less than an hour to remove the old unit and replace it with the new unit. Insinkerator is at the top of the game of instant hot water dispensers. I love it.

Don’t buy! I've purchased 3 of them over 7 years, they keep breaking. It has a unique plumbing set up which was done when my house was built to install the unit, so finding another option requires changing my plumbing which is too expensive. As a result I keep having to buy this defective unit that stops working after about two years. I’m not the only one posting about this either, but the manufacturer is ignoring fixing the issue and instead keeps selling them so I strongly advise don’t make the same mistake I’ve been forced to accept without changing the plumbing in my kitchen.

Order met my expectations very satisfied
