wondering, is anyone else running their RODI at the recommended operating temperature?
or do you just turn on the cold water faucet?

I'm on a well.I use cold. My waste ratio goes up in the winter when the water temp drops. I have my ratio set to July source water temp. I do not think the added cost of providing otimal water tempature is worth it.
Is there some kind of purpose made heater for this application that you use or is it a heater for something else that you just got to work?I'll plug in the inline water heater for turbo mode if needed.
I'm using a 1400 watt Bosch inline water heater. 4 gallon tank I believe. $150 on Amazon. If you do go that route be careful not to cook your membrane. Too hot will ruin them.I run mine off of the cold side cleanout of my tankless water heater and my system is run by a controller and solenoids. Most of the time when it is running to keep my ATO full I don't even know when it turns on or off. The only time I manually start it is when I am filling my mixing station.
If I had to manually attach it to a faucet on a sink everytime I made water I would probably try to make it closer to the temp for quicker production of water, but the way mine is plumbed it isn't worth the hassle.

Ok thanks. I was more curious than anything else if there was a heater made specifically for rodi filters. I have no real interest in using warmer water to feed my filter.I'm using a 1400 watt Bosch inline water heater. 4 gallon tank I believe. $150 on Amazon.

Use only cold water, never try to temper or blend hot and cold.
Cold water actually treats better and will give you lower TDS. It is more viscous, more dense, so the contaminants do not flow through the RO membrane as easily giving you a better rejection rate.
