New homes in California require this outlet to be installed.

OK. And what about the other 49 states? What about homes that *aren't*
new?

If the
kitchen is the point of installation, then the dishwasher outlet can
be used.

And what if the kitchen faucet just happens to be the one closest to the
water heater? To quote the information on the website, "...its usually
installed at the faucet farthest from the water heater."

Kind of a waste of time and money otherwise.

If there is no outlet, then one would obviously be
needed. Your neighborhood handyman or friendly electrician should be
able to put one in for around $100.

Hmm... This part seems to be missing from the website.

To quote the website FAQ,

"How easily is it to install?
RedyTemp is unquestionably the easiest of installs in the industry. Often,
the only tool required is a 1/2" wrench. Its comparable to hooking up 2
garden hoses, its so easy.
1. Turn OFF water under sink.
2. Disconnect hot and cold lines under faucets and attach to RedyTemp.
3. Using the two supplied flex lines attach one end to RedyTemp and the
other end to the faucets you just disconnected. Turn water back on and plug
it in?done. Any home handyman can install it. NO special tools, NO
plumbing modifications, no draining of water heater, no need to shut off
gas, no purging of the lines, no calibrating. (see movie of 10 yr old
install unit by clicking on link on our home page.)"

But of course if you called attention to the fact than most homes *don't*
have a suitable receptacle under the sink "farthest from the water heater,"
and that it will cost them at least another $100.00 to install an
appropriate receptacle to operate this device, it would tend to put a damper
on all the other breathless accolades and diminsh sales.

The lack of a suitable electrical outlet to power this device is no small
issue - an issue that you have chosen to gloss over for obvious reasons.
