In short the answer is No, you could damage the pump.
DS don't take this the wrong way, but just buy a hot machine and it will solve most of your problems.

An Interpump will handle 60c, the Centuriun interpump will handle 85c you can get a Hypro 5000 series pump that will also handle 85c

I use hot water through my pump  and its 2yrs old with no problems.

i would of thought in most places you wouldnt get enough pressure or flow rate from the hot taps, not in my area for definate.
i think you need the flow rate for the machine to work.
just a thought
