- Pain threshold for a human is 106F [1]
- If water is 60F year round from a supply - does 39F rise (see Tankless Electric Water Heater) suffice?
- 60+39= 99F.
- Average shower temp is 105F [2]
- This article says that 99F is better, so you potentially avoid eczema
- It appears that 120F water is a relic of long piping - the hotter the temp the quicker your water will get warm. But for on-demand, lower temperatures appear to be better.
- Thus - minimize piping length to point of use. [[Seed Eco-Home specification is keeping heater distance to within 4' of point of use.
