heaters are intended to produce hot
water. water heated to a temperature
which will satisfy clothes washing, dish
washing, and other sanitizing needs
can scald and permanently injure you
upon contact. Some people are more
likely to be permanently injured by hot
water than others. These include the
elderly, children, the infirm, or
physically/mentally handicapped. If
anyone using hot water fits into one of
these groups or if there is a local code
or state law requiring a certain
temperature water at the hot water tap,
then you must take special precautions.
In addition to using the lowest possible
temperature setting that satisfies your
hot water needs, some type of
tempering device, such as a mixing
valve, should be used at the hot water
taps used by these people or at the hot
water heater. Mixing valves are
available at plumbing supply or
hardware stores. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of the valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the
