@Sooner : Yes, I love my instant hot. Had it included when house was built.

Yes I had one for years--put one in the house I built in 1986 and used that thing for years--Mine you had to twist the top of it and eventually that broke---stupid ex husband NEVER fixed it or replaced it even when he had a brand new one in his garage--I would get a lever one.

I never wanted one because it is not boiling, I like my tea with boiling eater, I use a kettle and when something calls for boiling water I want it boiling.

We have an instant hot water system in our kitchen....love it.

My parents have had one for 40 years. I think they are on their second replacement. As others have said, hard water eventually kills them. My mother who drinks a lot of hot tea uses the hot water to steep her tea, then sticks the cup in the microwave to heat it up further. I don't understand her process, but I'm not a hot tea drinker.

I've been looking into them. Had an electrician out who said we needed a plumber. Then the plumber said we needed an electrician. Can't seem to get an answer what is needed to install and how difficult it would be.
@ScrapHappy Don't you hate that????? We've been trying to get a new vent in the kitchen, run into all sorts of issues!
That has been the story with this house for 6 years. Nothing is ever straight forward or easy. All I want to do is replace kitchen faucets. I have two kitchen sinks (Shaw apron sinks) and one small bar"pre sink on an island. The faucets on the apron sinks are 5 piece widespread pieces and the bar/pre is 3. In order to cover all the holes, I need different pieces and more of them and thought instant hot would be a good idea. Even if we cover 3 of the holes with a deck plate, I still hae 2 holes to contend with.

@ScrapHappy I have gone on the Delta web site and got a very expensive faucet that was reconditioned. Our old reliable plumber said he wouldn't be afraid of that if it was FROM Delta. I've had no problems with it.

And I called once and they were really helpful about a product. Good luck--they do have some accessories like detergent dispensers that at least fill those holes--been there worried about that!
