4. Installation Guide
This section provides instructions for installing your HOGART Electric Instant Water Heater Faucet. It is designed for DIY installation, but professional assistance is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing or electrical work.
4.1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure you have a suitable mounting surface (e.g., countertop) with a thickness of up to 30 mm.
- A minimum opening of 36 mm in diameter is required for the electrical plug and cable to pass through under the countertop.
- Verify that a grounded electrical outlet (230V, 3kW) is available near the installation point.
- Confirm your water supply pressure is between 0.5 and 6 bar.
- Turn off the main water supply and electrical power to the installation area before starting.
4.2. Installation Steps
- Prepare the Mounting Hole: If not already present, drill a hole of appropriate diameter (at least 36mm) in your countertop for the faucet and its electrical cable.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet unit into the prepared hole. The extended thread is designed to accommodate countertops up to 30mm thick. Secure the faucet from underneath the countertop using the provided mounting hardware.
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the included 40 cm connection hose (1/2 inch F to 1/2 inch) to the faucet's water inlet and then to your cold water supply line. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Connect Electrical Power: Carefully route the electrical cable through the countertop opening. Plug the faucet into a grounded 230V electrical outlet. The cable can be connected either above or below the surface, depending on your setup.
- Attach Spout: Choose either the flexible silicone spout or the solid classic spout and securely attach it to the top of the faucet unit.
- Test Installation: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks. Then, restore electrical power and test the faucet's operation.

5. Operation
Operating your HOGART Electric Instant Water Heater Faucet is straightforward. Follow these steps to get hot water on demand.
- Turn on Water: Lift the handle to turn on the water flow.
- Adjust Temperature: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The integrated heating element will activate when the handle is moved towards the hot water side.
- Instant Hot Water: Hot water will begin flowing within approximately 5 seconds of activation.
- Temperature Display: The faucet features an LED display that shows the current water temperature.
- Temperature Range: The water temperature can vary between 25 and 50 degrees Celsius, depending on the water pressure. A stronger water flow may result in a slightly lower temperature. During colder winter months, the maximum achievable temperature may be lower, typically reaching 30-40 degrees Celsius. For situations requiring a large volume of very hot water, a conventional boiler is recommended.
