The hot water from a *combi* boiler has not been stored and so is good
for drinking. It sometimes looks milky, but this is only air and has
no effect on portability.


It does make it a bit lighter per litre.


How does the volume affect the reflection spectrum?


It increases the albedo - so be careful how much you drink, though, or
you'll end up with pink eyes and white hair too.
