I was surprised at how cold "hot" water actually was. I thought it was 60-70, but apparently what feels "hot" is around 45-50. Especially for me, that finds anything beyond my shower's "middle" heat as uncomfortably hot, I must be showering with around 40 C water, which is basically "hot day" hot.


Going less than 55 °C tap temperature / 60 °C in the tank is bad though, at least in larger installations - otherwise, you risk legionella and other microbial infestations [1].

Oh definitely, I'm purely talking about "feel".
