Can this pump be used for hot water, just under boiling temperature?

No it cannot. My seals melted at 160F over 6 hours. I had to replace with a different unit i bought overpriced from petco (i was short on time). This more abouts what you need (http://www.amazon.com/temperature-15GPH-Water-Pump-grade/dp/B004HHW0FU). It is designed to handle hot water. If you are looking to build a sous vide machine, i would recommend searching for this design on google: "tom ordway PID sous vide controller box". The design is much better, clearer, and safer. He also includes a parts list and how to construct in a simple manner and includes the submersible unit (partially. its waterproof once shrinkwrapped) in the link above.

This pump is not worth buying mine lasted 1month before it went dead. The other only lasted a week more than the first. Choose another

I don't think so. Heats water about 40 degrees above incoming temp. Warm but not hot.

Yes you can use it with hot water. You just have to use a hot water hose use a "Y" connector so you can also have cold.

Yes I think that will work fine. You can use it just to generate hot water. Hope this helps!

I could find no mention of water temperature restrictions on the box or in the instructions. Since the unit is all plastic, I would guess that very hot or boiling water would damage it or at least limit its lifespan. I use the meters on outside hoses and drip irrigation, so I have not run any hot water through them.

I haven't used it for hot water either, but I agree it should be fine. It's very heavy duty plastic. Not thin and does not bend..

I have two of these pumps. Both are used to circulate hot water in a boiler operated RV heating system. Both are very quiet.

I haven't but the unit is preset to heat to 350 which is excessive for boiling water, you wouldn't be able to turn it down to a simmer and it would probably waste energy.

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold water Use cold water only!!

I don't see why water temp of 105 degrees would be any problem. The housing material appears to be capable to handle that water temp just fine. The pump works fine and is self priming. Very compact compared to others. Has very good pressure. Good price for a good pump.

I'm sure it is since it can handle boiling hot water. However, it's better to hand rinse to avoid a soapy taste. This makes drinking tea fun. It's the little things in life

Yes, for something like water pump or thermostat gaskets, possibly a carburetor gasket. Wouldn't recommend it for high temperature applications.

Yes you can put hot water in it. Water over about 120F will put small dimples in the outside of the cooler. Stays hot for many hours:) Been using these for portable handwash stations for many years!

You can not use hot water with this filter. It is designed to attach to the faucet so under sink is not the best location.

Anything above the freezing temperature of the liquid you are using will work. I have used this pump with water from 50degF to 150degF without issues

you can but it takes forever to have the hot water. I haven't tried this pump without the sensor but I believe that the key to have instant water is the sensor. I like to know too.

I have used it to heat up water but not brought it to a boil. Since it has cast burners, I don't think it will get red hot.
