Facts 😂
Sticking that USB Drive into the faucet was Hilarious. 😂
I love having an Outdoor Hot Water Bib outside here in New England. I installed my Arrowhead Brass Bib about 17 years ago and it's one of the best things I've done. I put it in specifically to wash cars outside year round but over the years we use it for so much else. We wash the dog with it, we fill the kiddie Pool with warm water for the Daycare kids, and the year we were redoing our Bathroom and it wasn't ready on time we took Outdoor showers with it. The look on peoples faces going by my driveway at 6AM in mid-October was priceless. My Comet Static 1700 Pressure Washer can handle inlet water temp up to 145 degrees so that also gets used year round as well. I'd say if you're on the fence about it just pull the trigger, you'll be more than happy you did.
plumber here, i just installed a hot/cold hose bibb today...it was kinda a nightmare; your brand seems pretty good, only downside is the hole is so big, its tough to make such a big hole in brick or concrete.
exactly what I was thinking when I saw that monster hole that has to go into the side of your house, that plus look at the size of thing hanging on the house...pass
I had to drill through the rim joist to install my garage spigot this past Christmas. 1/3 max height of the joist is the size of the hole allowed, so this would be a no go for me.
I have been waiting for this for 2 years. I will be replacing my old corroded that leaks with this. Great video!
$409 is nuts, I got the Prier-C mixing spigot for like $140
If your is working you are lucky. The Prier in the video was my second one, both never stopped leaking. They arent the Priers from the old days, at least not for me.
Checked the aquor website. I'm hoping they come up with a hose adapter that isn't plastic.
Same! This is honestly what keeps me from buying the product. This hot and cold version is so slick, but that plastic connector just feels so cheap.
They use plastic because of the freezing possibilities I assume. Longevity. A metal piece wouldn't slide in as easy. Why so held up on the plastic? What substance would be better for this application one engineer asks the obvious other engineer?
yea its an issue. They break. And the orings wear quicker than youd think. Very expensive solution that just creates other issues.
@@CS30123 Our connectors have a 5 year warranty on them and we do have spare o-ring parts available on our site. Pr0toPoTaT0 is correct that the plastic is to prevent wear and tear on the metal prongs. We do hear you and there is something in the works.
That is cool for sure. Worth $400 though… I don’t think so lol
Exterior hot water is great, but this is overpriced garbage. I'm sure the youtuber was well paid for this advertisement, so he thinks the product is fabulous. 😂
I like this and the cold unit, cold unit seems more realistic. Glad I came across these
I bought and assisted my plumber with the installation of the cold only Aquor’s on my new construction house in 2018, have been trouble free since installation.. I bought them because water is expensive in MA (sewer use is tied to water usage), so a vandal could turn on a conventional spigot while you were away/at work/on vacation and you’d have a multi thousand $$$ water bill.. this was mainly to prevent that, and elliminate constant dripping of older style fawcets. I did install a cold/hot mixer in the attached garage, mainly to use on the pressure washer when washing the car in winter, could replace it with this, but I don’t use it much.
Chris, I’ve followed you from the beginning and you haven’t steered me wrong in the least. Purchases you’ve recommended, tips, and tricks. Thank you for your knowledge and time.
I installed hot and cold water on the outside of my house during a remodel in 2007. Best thing ever. My faucet setup is similar to the older style you showed, but mine only leaks while in use. Annoying and wasteful, but for now it stays. $400 for this version is too rich for my blood. I love the concept, though. Maybe the price will come down a bit with time.
For anyone considering adding hot/cold water outside the home, do it. So many great things can happen with hot water available outdoors, year round. I love it.
I love your channel. So many things I didn’t even know existed. Thanks Chris.
I really appreciate that
Been subscribed for a while and this is pretty awesome.
My husband hooked up a faucet outside for bathing my dogs and vegetable cleaning and worked great first yr but always disconnected during winter ,but the following spring didn't work, maybe I will try this. It is super nice to have hot water outside
That's beautiful!
I believe that faucet is a newer release from Aquor.
I just installed a Prier - but it was super long. So it's nice to see the shortened depth on this one.
Super cool video, thank you
5:33 that is very nice set on the wall.
Very nice
Holy spigot Batman!!!
Cool!! Dog likes it to!
Great point
So cool. Only $410 on the website. Snap some up! Dispenses hot, cold, and irony.
Have you done a review on the wall mounted pressure washer yet?
What’s the vacum thing you have on the wall
I’d definitely buy a house from you!
Chris, I'm re-siding my house and I'm going to use these on the existing and add a new one.
That's cool. I think you will love it. I have been using it for about a month and its been awesome
I get why the piece that plugs into the unit is plastic, makes sense from a longevity perspective of the stainless steel insert.
Curious how well built that piece is. It does look sturdy.
The plastic can be run over with a vehicle. Very dense stuff. I am told they do it for longevity. If you had metal on metal, every insertion would wear it down slightly. The plastic is somehwat lubricating and keeps it smooth from over 100,000 usees. When it is replaced, if needed there is 0 wear on the fixture. Reviews are insane on these, they are very well liked amzn.to/4aRhiHF
I like this but... I have a heavily used outside hot and cold faucet same as the 1980 pic just horizontal that gets replaced every 3 years or so. This would be perfect. The only problem is I would never buy it as long as there is only plastic QD and no brass QD.
Nice. Interesting that in America a thermostat that’s decoupled from the flow valve is new. I’ve seen enough shower valves that catch you out like that.
It's not new. It's the older way. The newer ones are the cheap ones that don't have independent temp.
How do you install this or the normal aquor onto a house made of concrete for example? Houses in Florida where I dont have access to the other side of the wall or not enough depth for the angled part.
If the backside if covered you would need to pen the drywall to get at the plumbing. It's not hard to do or repair and the hot cold is something you want, its worth the time. Fortunately if you have to change parts in the future, everythign is done from the front.
Pretty cool piece. I like my standard aquor connection. However this would suck to install in my house. I have a full size brick facade, about a 3/4" gap then sheathing. To boot, where my current bib is, vs how the floor joists are run, my estimation on the length of that product looks like the connection end of it would land right at a floor joist. This is not a grip towarda the product cause obviously they cant account for every scenario. More so a recommendation to people to scope out your install spot and see best you can if its going to work. The standard bibs are a little pricey so i imagine this one isn't at all cheap so it would be a big buzz kill to spend the money, get halfway into the install and realize it wont work or will need a lot of extra work to make it fit. A have lost a lot of faith in contractors in my area so i can only imagine what they would do to "make it fit" just for the sake of completing the job.
How thes heat the water
Do a video on replacing your taco grill
$500.00 for a spigot.
If I run a brand new line to install this, what Aquor bits do I need to purchase for a complete working unit?
You get everytin the box you need to use it includijng the adapter. It has Pex A ends on it, so when they do your lines they just connect PEX A in and you have the rest. Screws too.
I noticed the all-in-one pressure washer with réel on your wall. Many online comments about that unit. Either good or very bad. What's your experience. Possible future video?
Thank you, Yes, I saw those reviews including the crazy one from Matt from Obsessed garage. Giraffe sent me that reel amzn.to/3Tq309I and their vacuum for free to try out and it was up to me if would make a video or not, 0 pressure or obligation. I figured a real review would be using it for a while, I installed the reel last summer and the vacuum 2 weeks ago. The pressure washer works great, I have had 0 problems with it. The reason I like it a lot is that it is always there ready,. I have a powerful gas one that I hate to take out, and yup this wall one is less powerful and it doesn't matter. I use it for cleaning furniture, cars, etc. Works great for that. The convenience is the best reason I like it. If I need to strip lead paint from a building I will buy something else :)
How does it work with brick?
It can be installed in stone or brick but for 3 1/2" you will want to use a diamond hole saw for a perfect hole. They are much cheaper than the used to be.
👍👍
Alittle expensive but very cool
I would love to pay someone to install an Aquor on my house.
I think thats the case for a lot of spigots, installs can be complex. But should last a long time. When I showed their first one 4 years ago peopel were scared but if you read Amazon reviees today, they are one of the highest rated things out there. amzn.to/3VoRTk3
Hot water to rinse ice in my neighborhood will cause all sorts of problems.
Why do you have a separate faucet for your pressure washer?
The pressure washer is only rated for cold water, and I used to just put a Y splitter on the hot/cold but unfortunately your spouse/kids don't always pay attention and just blow up your pressure washer running hot water through it. So now its a little more resilient.
Would be cool to have that mixing valve tech in showers. Personally I prefer a three knob over a mixer valve, but this would be a good alternative.
This would be great in a commercial style kitchen that gets hosed down with hot water at night.
"The temperature setting has kinda got a memory"
LMFAO that was hilarious, no it doesn't.
I really want an Aquor but you can't install them without access to the back, and I have a brick house...
The closest thing that you can get to that the closest alternative good is it a utility sink
yeah, ok, use that hot water to de-ice your windshield, let me know how that works out for you. lol
Do NOT use hot water, or even cold water to de-ice your car in the winter! That's how you get a cracked window or engine block.
And hot water freezes faster than cold. So if it's cold enough those doors will freeze shut almost instantly.
@@gtpforever I think the "hot water freezes faster" myth was debunked ages ago. Doesn't even make sense.
@ShayneHartford Also applies to cold water on a hot windshield or engine block. However, the windshield is generally OK as long as it doesn't have any chips or cracks and how hot/cold the windshield is and how hot/cold the water is. Never had an issue with hot water in the winter but a couple summers ago did cause another crack (in my already cracked) windshield when I went to rinse some bird poop off. I knew better but wasn't even thinking. lol
@@myrealnamedoesntfit made zero sense when they taught us about it and demonstrated it as well.
plastic?
Looks interesting until I saw the price.
$500 bucks me arse!
But at least they offer payments.
Really don't see this thing taking off for the price it costs and the fact you need an adapter to attach a standard garden hose.
Hot water outside.. okay, that's cool, but you can do the same thing by just putting a separate hot water spout next to the cold one. If you want to make warm water, put a 2-way hose splitter on them in reverse. Will cost a quarter of the price of this thing and no adapters needed.
yeah it looks like something you would stick a...usb in 😂
That thing's pretty slick... but I'm not sure if it's $400 worth of slick........ F*** it! It's only money... I MUST have it!
If it's only money, buy me one too. I'll even let you pay for the tax and shipping
I totally agree its a lot of money, but its all stainless, viton o-rings and has a lifetime warranty. So at least it should last forever.
Na im good
The old one that leaked is a total failure they added a broken washer
Looks awful long to install in a standard wall. For $400.00 I'm thinking it's a little much.
€383,95 xD
its currently $400😂
Yup, its expensive but it has a lifetime warranty, doesn't make it cheaper but if it lasts and you love using it, maybe its worth it. I am out 130 x 2 for the prier and it still leaked and didn't mix
@SilverCymbal i get that. it would be a hard sell to my gf though😅
as others have stated if it didnt comeb
with plastic nozzles i wouldnt be so outspoken. that cost should deff have metal attachments imo
Too bad it's PEX only.
I am pretty sure they will have threaded and B versions down the road. They have al those for the regular line
Too complicated for me.
How u gonna fit that thing in your wall lol. Its a scam.
Nice 5 minute ad. for 400 dollars I can have 2 individual spickets that merge, buy all the tools I need to install it, and still have enough left over for lunch.
That's true, but won't be stainless steel, it won't be a mixing valve with a preset or have a built in disconnect or freezeproof with a lifetime warranty. Listen I am the first one to say dont buy it if its not what you want, but it's not the same as slapping in two boiler drain valves for $30. If those work do it but there are some diferences. Whether or not that's worth it is up to you.
A proprietary hose bib connection! What could this possibly accomplish? Such stupidity!
Plastic fittings...
Its not straight. pleeeease straighten it! I won't be able to sleep!
Junk
😂 why would u need a frost proof spigot inside? 😂😂😂 just use two normal hose bibs…one hot. One cold. 😂😂😂
Frost proof is really for outisde but I am in NH and even my garage area gets extremely cold,so I am ok with the plumbing in the insulated hallway. Two hose bibs are fine, but they are lousy if you want to get the temp right, especially if you use it a lot and just want a good temp.
Cool idea. But how much water is actually wasted in the .5 seconds that it takes to move from off to your desired position. Once you learn where your showers are comfortable, it becomes muscle memory to set it in the morning.
Yes agreed but I would never use this someplace that didn't get a lot of use. Some pros use the aquor line in vans for details so from that aspect the water is really limited and every bit can help.
@SilverCymbal That makes sense. Thanks for the good content and the reply!
