I have to run the water in the kitchen for long time to get it hot but the bath water gets hot fast its further away from the hot water tank than the kitchen?
The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.

No, you will have different temperatures of water inside the water heater, which will make it difficult to get a consistent temperature out of a shower valve or faucet. The heater will also not work correctly or efficiently.

Can steam ever be hotter than 100 degrees Celsius?
Yes, but not at atmospheric pressure (which is the pressure of your kitchen). Steam can be hotter than 100 degrees celsius under pressures higher than this.
Why hot faucet water is not safe to drink?
Burn your tongue and throat is about the only issue. Hot faucet water is no different than cold water you heat on the stove or drink in your coffee.
How do you connect a water purification system to the sink sprayer hose?
You cannot do this without a way of stopping the water. The sink sprayer is hooked up through your kitchen faucet for a reason. When the faucet is shut off, no water can come through the sprayer. If you hook up the sprayer to a water filter, the handle on the sprayer cannot handle the pressure of the water system and will continually run when the handle packs it in, more than likely when you are not home!
Is the PH level of faucet water higher or lower than the PH level of precipitation rain?
It depends on where you are. If your water comes from aquifers that are in limestone rock and you are near an industrial are it is likely the faucet water will be slightly higher pH than the rain water.
Can a faucet turn itself on because of pressure in the pipelines?
No. It takes much more than water pressure to turn on the water faucet. At most, there is a leak if anything at all.
Why outdoor water faucet will not drain even when the water supply valve is shut off?
Shutting off the valve doesn't drain anything. You need to open something lower than the faucet and open that faucet to let air take the place of the water.
Kitchen faucet leaking - has lifetime warranty - how does it work?
A lifetime warranty only lasts for the life of the company that sold you the faucet and may not cover every component of the faucet. In general, if you have the warranty you can send the faucet back and they will send you a new one provided that the defect is covered. (Some leaks, however, may be caused by things other than the faucet itself.)
How do you get the air out of the line after installing new faucet?
Very simple. Run each faucet until there is no more air. This usually only takes a minute or two per faucet. Remember air is lighter than water and will quickly rise, thus exiting the faucet additionally the strong flow of water out of the faucet is a huge plus.
