I love the new hot water dispenser except for the fact that it starts to spew hot water on it’s own without warning. It’s a real safey issue. Any suggestions on how to correcct this problem??
Hello, I just replaced my existing instant hot/filtered water system with the ready hot unit. My last system required a filter. I see that this one does not but since I already have one , can you please recommend a type of filter for this particular unit.
Thank you,
Hope
Hello Hope,
Your Ready Hot System is filter ready! There is a pre-filter that can be installed on the incoming lines to the Ready Hot tank that is not supplied with the unit but is available for purchase on our online store (http://www.mrscrappy.com/Ready_Hot-Ready_Hot_Water_Filter_System.html). If you have an existing filtration unit that you would like to use please contact our customer service department at consumerservice@joneca.com and we will be able to help you further.
We just installed the RH-200. We were wondering if it is possible to replace the tube from the heater to the faucet with copper tubing. Do you support the connectors or have a kit that would allow this modification?
We do not recommend replacing the silicon tubing with copper. Doing so may void your warranty. However, if you would like to contact us directly at consumerservice@joenca.com, we may be able to help you determine options and explain the issues with copper in more detail.
Are there replacements parts ( valve cartridges) for the faucet? Chicago has higher than average calcium in water and tends to need service after a couple years.
We do not sell replacement parts for faucets because the design is intricate and not easily reassembled. We would suggest looking into whole home water softeners to help with calcium buildup. If you are interested in one of our Ready Hot units and have additional questions please write us at consumerservice@joneca.com
I am interested in your product. However, we would like to hook it up to a third party faucet. Is there an adaptor that you make so we don’t have to use the faucet that comes with your system.
If the third party faucet is an “Open Vent” faucet it is technically compatible. However, we can not guarantee that your faucet includes all the necessary tubing, etc. Feel free to email us at consumerserivce@joneca.com if you need more information.
Our faucet the (RH-F560-BN) is an open vent faucet and designed to be installed with a hot water dispenser. If you have also installed a RO system, then yes, the faucet is compatible. If you wish to install the RH-F560-BN with a RO system only, then the faucet is not designed for this application. We confirm all of our metal faucets are lead compliant and will be in contact with water.
Thank you!
Please email us or call us if you have more questions.
I got the faucet and the hot water tank. How do you connect the white tube to your water line? Any specific connection I need to buy, other than a splitter?
The white tube can be connected to the water line with a “compression fitting” or “quick connector”. Compression fittings vary in size (ie. 1/4″ X 1/4″, 3/8″X 1/4″) depending on your water supply line, but are available at a local hardware store.
Feel free to contact us directly if you should have further questions.
I have 2 of these tanks in my food truck and love them! One has just started leaking from the handle (single handle) where it connects to the faucet. I have tried tightening it and that helped with the spraying that it was doing, but it is still dripping badly. This is only happening to one of my taps and I have been using it with no problems for a year. How can I fix this?
We cannot get the white tubing onto the supply inlet on the tank. The tube is too small to fit over the inlet. Every thing else went quickly and easily. We tried warming the tube with a hair dryer and warm water, but the tube will not expand enough to fit overy the inlet.Model#RH-200-SS.
We regret hearing of the issue you have experienced.
Please refer to page 6 in your users manual. There is a 1/4″ Quick connect included in the Faucet package. The Quick connect – connects the inlet tube to white tube.
We will be happy to further assist you with this issue and believe we will be more productive in speaking to you by phone. We ask that please contact us at our toll free phone number 1-888-856-6322 to troubleshoot this issue. Our business hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00PM. We are closed during the lunch hour from 12:00 – 1:00 PM PST.
MOUNTING TANK
It says to mount the tank 10mm away from the wall. How do I do this? Do I need to use metal spacers or is the spacing already built into the tank?
We confirm the installation of this unit does not require the tank to be mounted as it can be sat on the base of your cabinet. In the case that you wish to mount your tank, we ask that you allow 4-6 inches of air space around the entire unit for air circulation.
Installed tank…connected and water flowing and heated. But the on off valve doeant work. It just flows continuously. Almost like there is no rubber gasket inside valve. Is there a troubleshoot faq for this?
We have Ready Hot RH-F560-BN Dual Lever and tank installed last summer. The faucet hot water handle started dripping from the handle few months ago. The dripping situation gets little worse over time.
Do you have parts or instruction that I can get replace and fix them easy. Thanks
I have installed which is leaking from the bottom of the tank.
If you lift it up it leaks like a pipe from the bottom of the tank and no water is coming from the tap
Hi, I have a waste king quick and hot tank. I was looking on amazon for a hot/cold faucet and I like one of yours. Are your faucets compatible with the waste king tanks?
We appreciate your interest in our Ready Hot Dual lever faucet. We are happy to confirm that our faucet is compatible with your Quick and Hot hot water tank.
Yes.
However, since we do not exactly what filter system you have, that answer is with reservation. Contact us directly and speak to a customer service representative to be certain.

Hi… I’m installing new quartz counter tops which have arrived and are being installed. We have order your H20 Ready Hot through Costco and it is being delivered. The installer wants to know what size of hole to drill in the counter so the pipe can come through to the facet. What size hole she he drill?? Thanks Garry
Hi, I just received my Ready Hot water dispenser and I wanted to know am I suppose to unscrew the nut on the faucet end and put the 1/4 tube on the pointy end and screw the nut back on? I did this and I just wanted to make sure that’s the correct way to install it. I know where everything else go, but I wanted to make sure I was doing that part of the faucet end correctly.
Charrisa,
We confirm your understanding of the installation on the faucet is correct. Thank you for your recent purchase of the Ready Hot Instant Hot water Dispenser.
In the case that an issue arise with your ready hot tank, the cold lever will still continue produce water from the incoming water source as this line does not travel into the hot water tank.
The RH-100 adjusts to 190°, the RH-200 to 200°, and the RH-300-SS to 208°.
If you are asking why there is not a “dramatic” change in temperature range, our technical team may be able to offer you some help by writing to consumerservice@joneca.com or calling by 1-888-856-6322.
Debra,
Due to the high heat passing through this connection, we ask that you use the adapter. Connecting the silicone tube directly into the tank can affect its performance over time.
Thank you.
I’ve just ordered the Ready Hot RH-200-F570-BN Stainless Steel Hot Water Dispenser System, Includes Brushed Nickel Single Lever Faucet (HEIGHT: 11.5 inches from counter-top). Can this faucet be adjusted and lowered to 10 or 9 inches? If not, do you offer a compatible faucet with such a lower height. (Note: The original faucet provided is too high and stops opening adjacent kitchen window’s shutters).
We have had two insinkerators in the last 6 years and now need to replace it yet again! I am interested in this product and am curious as to how long they typically last. I plan on using a filter this time hoping it will help with the longevity.
The typical life span of a hot water dispenser is two to six years depending on usage, properties of the water, ambient water temperature, etc. It is very wise to use a water filter but the filter should have scale inhibitor properties.

Hi. How do I connect the1/4 inlet line to a standard 3/8 threaded male supply line outlet where you usually would attach a female 3/8 inch threaded compression fitting. I can’t find any suitable adaptor fitting/ hose.
Katerina,
Our Ready Hot Tanks are compatible with open-vented faucets made specifically for Hot Water Dispensers. Please see the faucet’s manufacturer to determine whether your faucet is open-vented.
Also, is reverse osmosis water ok to use with this water heater? We encourage customers to utilize a Reverse Osmosis System with our Hot Water Dispensers and confirm they are compatible with each of our models, including the RH-100, RH-150, RH-200, RH-300 and RH-400.
Thank you.
I am a happy customer and have been using your unit for years in my condo.
I would like to install another unit in my second home. I have a reverse osmosis filter at this home and I intend to use the RO-filtered water to supply my ReadyHot water heater. I would prefer to have a single faucet with two levers, one for cold drinking water and one for hot water.
I have a bit of a conflict here and I could use your advice. I intend to use a remineralization / alkalization filter for my cold drinking water to restore minerals lost due to the reverse osmosis filter. I believe the remineralized water would be unsuitable for the ReadyHot water heater due to the minerals eventually building up on the heating elements within the unit and leading to failure.
I am wondering if it would be suitable to feed the mineralized water into the cold inlet line of the 2-handled faucet; terminate the cold outlet line of the faucet; use a tee connection from the source line to feed the UNMINERALIZED RO-filtered water into the ReadyHot unit; then finally feed the hot water from the ReadyHot unit into the faucet hot inlet line. I believe this setup would get the mineralized water where it needs to go and ensure the ReadyHot unit is fed with unmineralized water; however I am not sure if it would interfere with the open vent functioning of the faucet.
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. We’re always delighted to hear from our customers and value these opportunities to provide support.
As you have correctly ascertained, using RO filtered water improves upon the life of the hot water heater in comparison to untreated or re-mineralized water.
Unfortunately, the proposed setup would not be compatible with a vented faucet system which is necessary for instant hot water heaters.
In a vented faucet system, the water line leading to the hot water tank is sealed and the line from the tank to the spout is always open. When the hot water handle is turned to the on position, the valve opens the line leading to the hot water tank. As the tank fills, it pushes hot water through the already open outlet through to the spout. Due to that, the water line leading into the tank must always be closed until hot water is ready to be dispensed. This is accomplished by having the water line run through the faucet valve system prior to reaching the hot water tank.
Should the hot water tank be connected directly to the RO system, there would be no control valve resulting in continuous water flow through the tank and spout.
All potential setups we evaluated include a faucet dedicated for either the re-mineralized drinking water or the RO filtered instant hot water.
We hope the above supports the effective planning and installation of your reverse osmosis, ReadyHot and re-mineralization water system.
We do not recommend the use of a remineralizer with our Hot Water Dispensers as the removal of these minerals helps to improve the lifespan of the Heating Tank.

In the information included with the Hot water dispenser it states that the unit should not be used with well water. Why not? Does it have to with potential high levels of minerals in the well water?
We confirm well water cannot be used with our Ready Hot Systems as certain minerals found in well water, such as iron, can damage their functionality and will void the warranty.
Does your ready hot system require a filter installation, especially if I get the stainless steel one. They describe our water as “Hard”.
I drink our water all the time and don’t have a filter system
We confirm a Filter is recommended but not required for our Hot Water Dispensers. While Water Filtration Systems can vary in specification and containment removal, we can confirm that our Hot Water Dispensers may be compatible with most Water Filtration Systems.
I”ve owned a Ready Hot RH-200 for over 10 years – not s single problem. I’d had to Insta-hot units that both failed within 6 monhts.
I’m going to get another Ready Hot for my new house.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that your Ready Hot RH-200 has been serving you reliably for over 10 years without a single problem. That kind of longevity is what we strive for with our products.

Hello,
I am a happy customer and have been using your unit for years in my condo.

Hi, I have a brand new Ready Hot 41-RH-200-F570-BN. I would like to change the faucet handle. Facing forward it currently is on the right-hand side. I would like to move it to the left-hand side. Is there any way to do this?
Thank you for your recent purchase of our Ready Hot RH-200-F570 Hot Water Dispensing System. We confirm that the side the handles are on can be reversed, however the faucet will need to be reinstalled with a new Base Assembly Kit. Our customer service department can help you obtain the kit.
