What Temperature Is Your Hot Water Heater Set ?

Setting

Mine is set on 'B' which is one position shy of maximum Hot. Of course, what that relates to in degrees, I don't know. It is hot enough to scald you, if not careful. All my faucets and shower head have temperature stop guards built into them.

No kids here. Gas, Ge Profile hottest setting labeled caution scalding injury. When very cold in the winter i let the hot water run a small stream, while the DW is running. We had an electric water heater 40 gal in our old house, we often were waiting for hot water. alr2903

Mine is set to 120. I have a small child and and elderly mother in the house, I don't want to risk burns.

Ours is set to about 150F. By the time it enters the machines the dishes/clothes and porcelain tubs cool the water down at nearly 25 degrees.

Mine is set to about 145F-150F. I like hot water for all the cycles in my dishwasher, not just the main wash.

I just ran the hot water for a minute then, let it run into a glass, then popped in an instant read thermometer. It read 143F which is too hot. The only time the water runs this long is during showers. Guess I will lower it a bit for the summer
