Min RKWater heater died, got a new one. It has to be one of the most unhinged temperature scales I have seen. It started at an A out of Very Hot, which was too hot, so we turned it down to Hot. We’ll see how that goes, might turn it down to “ “ later.
Baral'heia Stormdancer ΘΔ🐲@minrk The way they label the scale on a lot of water heater thermostats make no freaking sense, I still don't understand why they label them this way but it's been that way for decades. So each mark is *supposed* to be 10°F apart, with HOT being 120°F. If you want it hotter, A = 130°F, B = 140°F, C = 150°F, and VERY HOT = 160°F. You generally shouldn't go any lower than HOT to prevent potential growth of some pretty nasty bacteria in the tank... The low setting is typically used when you know you won't be home for an extended period of time, like when you go on a long vacation.
Kim@baralheia @minrk Is this Americans trying to come up with something as confusingly vague as Gas Marks?
