- Cerium 3y agoAvoid drinking liquids hotter than 140 f. One interesting "test" - take a sip of the liquid, and it does not seem that hot, put your finger in your mouth with the liquid and your finger might feel too hot.
- karencarits 3y ago140 degrees Fahrenheit = 60 degrees Celsius
- simondotau 3y agoAs another data point, this is generally hotter than most “hot” water taps in your kitchen or bathroom.
- xenonite 3y agoNo. Please check for legionellae if your warm water is cooler than 60 deg Celsius.
- simondotau 3y agoNO. 60 degrees minimum for storage, but 50 degrees maximum at the tap. The latter temperature is the relevant one here, because that’s the user experience. https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/energy-and-environment/safe-energy-use/hot-water-safety#:~:text=Maximum%20water%20temperature,%2C%20hand%20basins%2C%20and%20bidets https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/energy-and-environment/safe-ene.... https://build.com.au/hot-water-system-regulations https://build.com.au/hot-water-system-regulations https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/consumers/guides/hot-water-safety https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/consumers/guides/hot-water-safety

- gumby 3y ago> Avoid drinking liquids hotter than 140 f. I often drink plain hot water (pot from kettle into cup; no trip through the teapot). I have always assumed it is safe. Perhaps I should reconsider?
