Q & A



Water Heater Temperature

Question?

I have a gas water heater and someone told me not to turn the flame up to high, as this wears the heater out quicker than normal. Can you tell me what setting would be the best to set the heater at for longevity of the heater and yet provide sufficient hot water for normal household needs?

Jack from Canada

Answer!

Well Jack, Medium is the best temperature, at about 130 degrees. Any less than that, the bacteria will not be killed.
