Is this normal? First use, Hello Kitty heated water almost to hot tap water temperature about 105 degree overnitght. LIght was on.

No, they are cool mist. Mine doesn't heat the water at all. I had this problem with the last one I had and there was a piece of metal between the cap to the reservoir and the circle seal that is underneath it when you put it onto the base. It created water that was like tea temperature, normally the water should be cool like a little cooler than room temperature.

My water stays cold or room temp. Never ever warm. You may want to call about that.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!

I'm guessing that you are starting with really cold water. The heater can only raise the temperature up just so much - 40-50 degrees, I don't remember. The trick is to discharge the heated water into your source bucket which heats it up and pretty quick you'll have water coming out of the discharge end way hotter than you'd want to shower in. Hope this helps.

Lukewarm shouldn't be a problem. I generally rinse mine out with hot tap water.

Hi Adrienne. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. When you first plug it in (and put water in it) you'll see that the temperature indicator light for 185 degrees lights up. If you press the "reboil/temp. Set" button, you'll see that you can select other temps that way. Keep pressing until it lands on the 208.4 F temp. It'll start boiling right away. It doesn't keep the water at 212 F (the boiling point) but at 209.4, the perfect temp for black tea. You can press that button again to get it to boil if you want (like for hot cereal or something that calls for boiling water). Does that answer your question?

It says only hot tap water. On a couple of occasions I have heated the water a little more than that because the tap water just isn't hot enough in the bottle. I use mine on my lower back while laying in the recliner and it seems that my body heat keeps it slightly warm for a long time, even hours, but it's not enough warmth to be therapeutic. I don't fill it more than 1/3 full when doing that, though, as it's not comfortable to me when it has more water in it.

Mine doesn't get very hot either. I started on M and didn't think it was very hot so I turned it to H and didn't notice any difference. Just checked the temperature on H is 150 degrees F.

Yes. Not too warm. I keep mine on the bathroom sink and use the water out of the tap. You will get an idea of how warm you like the water after you use it a couple of times. I would begin with barely warm water first. I use mine twice a day. Just use one scoop of neti salt, no more than that.

Thank you for your inquiry. Please make sure that the hot water switch on the back of the unit is turned on. It light will remain lit until it reaches the appropriate temperature.

I just ran a cup of water through into an open cup and tested it with 3 different candy/meat thermometers. I got 166, 168 and 175. It might be hotter with the thermal cup though. It sounds like it doesn't meet your target temp.

To the degree that you are pumping out warm water, it may be warm. But if it's actually too hot to touch, something is wrong. It's working too hard.

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

I've had this happen when someone runs hot water through the filter (which the instructions say not to do). Warm seems to be ok, but occasionally a guest will try to fill our kettle with hot water though the filter. It's also happened when debris blocked the small opening of the valve after the water main was turned off and back on for repairs. You can remove the fixture from the tap and clean the valve out by running water through it the opposite way.

First check the electrical outlet with a light or a tester and see if you have power there . Did you have some water in the bowl ? There is thermostatic stop if there is no water so the plastic does not melt . It's only a 60 watt element to keep the water warm . If you have a problem let me know .

Mine has only red and green lights. If both lights are on, it's cooking. If you put in the appropriate amount of water as specified by the doctor, the unit stopped in about an hour (too much water would take longer). After that the red light goes off. Green light only means warming. Shouldn't warm more than 2 hours.

The LED should turn off when the temperature is reached. Turn the temp all the way down, then turn it all the way up. Once you pass the temp of the water it will turn the red LED on. Do you have a accurate thermometer to check your water? If it is at 85 then the unit is working. If not then you might have to return it since the calibration is off. Mine is set to 80 and it work very well.
