Hello,

What is the "typical," Safe, temp. setting for the vertical style gas
fired house hot water heater ?

Wife is always complaining about not enough hot water, but am a bit
concerned about making the dialed temp., too hot, and perhaps increasing
the pressure in the tank too much, or making unsafe in some other way.

Opinions ?

Thanks,

140 degF used to be the norm.
However this changed when legionnaires disease was discovered when it
was increased and a dilution device installed.
That is if you want to be up to date.
