Torin Darkflight ΘΔLandlord turned up the temperature on my water heater.
A lot.
Like...WAY a lot.
According to my meat thermometer, I could literally cook a steak past medium rare with the hot water from my kitchen faucet now.
Kinky Kobolds@torindarkflight That is dangerously hot.
Captain Packrat@torindarkflight At 150℉, you can suffer burns in about 2 seconds.
The ideal temperature for a hot water heater is 120℉, which requires about 5 minutes exposure to scald and is the minimum temperature to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria in the water tank.
116℉ is the pain threshold for most people.
