Yes - it has a electrode in it that glows. Does that mean I can just use
cold water and it will heat it up to the proper temperature?

Not advisable. It is to boost the temperature of already heated water to
proper temperature and it does not heat it for every cycle so you'd have
cold rinses. If you have a more efficient way of heating water than
electricity, that is a cost factor also.
