Hot water temperatures of 104–120°F (40–49°C) are preferred for dishwashing, showering and laundry; requiring the water temperature to be raised about 54°F (30°C) or more, if the hot water is later mixed with cold water. |
140°F (60°C) |
The optimal temperature for Legionella proliferation in water varies between 32°C and 35°C, but it can easily proliferate at temperatures of up to 45°C. Usually, there is no growth above 55°C, and a temperature of over 60°C has a bactericidal effect. Thus, the WHO recommends that water be heated and stored at 60°C. (Source : NCBI) |
130°F (54.4°C) |
