It states right on the tank about the dangers of scalding. 125 degrees.

If I test above 120 degrees I turn the tank down.

I recently did a tank with a fan assisted blower and the fan assisted digital controls did not indicate a temperature. Turns out it was damaged and glad I called it out.

I returned to the home 2 days later for a radon test and asked the sellers if the noticed a different temperature. The lady stated yes it has seemed hotter. The gentleman took me to the tank and stated the fan assisted device operated and I showed him it was the controls. He then realized he had this serviced before and stated the repair man was needed again.

Sounds like a dangerous piece of misinformation. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
