User questions & answers

Question: Will this work in a kitchen sink
Answer: A lot of the success of storage is in the bag you store them in and the room conditions. Super hot and super damp are not going to help you, even with a good bag and sufficient supply of packets.
Question: Is the rod and coil Aluminum
Answer: Yes this product is both perfume and fragrance free, being completely odorless.
Question: How hot does it get
Answer: Bake in a convection oven for 2-3 hrs at 200-240 degrees F. Never put in an oven over 250 degrees. Or microwave on low power for 2-3 minutes. This is from packaging my packets were in.
Question: How long is the metal rod part? Minimum of how many inches does it have to be submerged in water? How big is the coil outside diameter
Answer: I think these will work great...of course an application of saddle soap is also a prerequisite... if stored indoors in a humidity controlled environment.. they should be fine for years to come .. I have also had good luck with neats foot oil + saddle soap

User questions & answers

Question: The water coming out of the dispenser smells like chlorine after about 6 months of use. The water is normal coming out of the faucet. Any suggestions
Answer: Chlorinated water applied to the hot tank will typically evaporate and can possibly be detected at the faucet since it uses an open vent faucet. The application of a carbon filter on the inlet line to the system should eliminate the chlorine smell.
Question: Our franke lil butler system ht200 is leaking. should we replace the heating tank
Answer: Hello and thank you for your interest in Waste King AH-1300-C Quick and Hot Instant Hot Water Tank. We regret the tank is leaking. We would recommend unplugging it and replacing it. If you have additional questions or would like warranty assistance, please call us at 1-800-854-3229. We are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:30 pm Eastern Time.
Question: Can I use a Waterstone faucet with this tank? Does it have a built-in vent
Answer: The tank is vented and not under pressure. The faucet will be used to allow cold water under pressure to enter the tank. But they are quarter-inch copper tube connections so you may have to put together some fittings and adapters to hook them up.The tube delivering hot water is s high temp silicone rubber hose not under any pressure.
Question: Has anyone owned this for more than a year or two? Still working? Do you recommend it
Answer: I had the AH-1300 for 6 years. Was out of town when my guests said the tube coming from the middle of the unit was bent (was actually melted). They stopped using it and i should have told them to unplug it. The next day a bad burnt electric smell was coming out of the unit (and all through the kitchen). I unplugged. When I took it apart the circuit board where things are plugged into was all melted and burnt. I don’t know why the plastic return was melted to the extent it bent and would not let the unit fill with water. I feel like this is why it burnt itself. A water heater with no water in it! But the Ruben has to melt for some other reason to cause the problem to begin with. At $120 it’s not really worth fixing and it should be an easy swap out with the same fittings.

User questions & answers

Question: can this unit be hooked up to 20 lbs propane tank
Answer: Any unit that takes the small throw away cylinders can be connected to a larger cylinder with an adapter hose. Bayou Classic cookers makes one that’s 4’ long and connects to a QCC cylinder valve. Part# MCR1. They’re many other lengths and manufactures that do the same.
Question: Coleman is avoiding the GPM on this unit. my question is what else are they not telling
Answer: I sent mine back. Coleman, flow rate was sufficient, and is largely dependent on the input pressure. YOU are the igniter for the Coleman. I chose instead to return my Coleman, and purchased a Triton on-demand. The Triton is self igniting (D cell batts) and has an internal flow sensor. So, add batteries, hook it up to a water and propane source, and you have instant hot water when you turn the valve.
Question: How easy would it be to extend the shower-head hose? Is it a standard-size that I could find an extension for easily
Answer: I bought 3/8th by 1/2 in diameter tubing from Menards. Swapped the hardware. And now I have a 15ft hose for my shower head. Was not difficult to swap.
Question: can you turn the water flow off at the shower head
Answer: No the water has to be continuous running for the heater to work.
