Hi All,
Wondered if I could get some advice on our home water temperature.
In a nutshell I want to lower it because it seems to be way too hot (even with dish washing gloves on I can't leave my hands in the hot water for more than about 5 seconds.
We have an old Valliant boiler (with no manual) which works the heating and hot water as far as I can tell. There is a black knob on the front currently set to 7. I'm thinking of chalking it back to 5.
I've also heard you need to keep your water temperature above 60C to kill Legionella? Is that for real?
Thanks for any help.
