Analyze? Its cheaper to get a new unit. I've had water tested before its
not cheap. Well to get it tested right.

So get it tested wrong. Around here tests are free to know if it is
potable or not. And unless you are only boiling water for babies and
double boilers, you are using it for food.

BTW, they might not call it one, but it really is a point of use
instant hot water heater, just a very small one.

So that's mostly why we use it mostly for boiling water... (-;

It smells the same as before we added the house filtration system.

When we use it (since we bought the house, so 4 years now) there is a
somewhat sweet smell that comes from the water that comes out of it.

Does not seem to have a taste. Though we mostly use it for preheated
water
for boiling, or cleaning....

I have not crawled under the sink to see who makes it..

Scott-

Crawl under the sink and find the manufacturer and model. Lookup online
for a manual and see if there is a periodic sanitizing procedure for it.
Draw samples of the water from that tap and from a regular faucet and
have them analyzed.
