Subject: Re: boiling hot water References: <215@abnjh.UUCP> HOGWASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your hot water tank is turned up to 160 deg (F) of higher, then all harmful bacteria are killed dead! That is why restaurants have to wash their dishes in 160+ deg water. Actually, the food service specialists tell me that the real situation is that harmful bacteria cannot survive outside of the 40-140 deg (F) range, and that the 160 degree requirement is an added margin of safety. So, unless you heat your water cold, there are no bad bugs growing in it. Don Stanwyck : ..!ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck : btl @ naperville, il

If you are going to boil it anyway, who cares.
