Boilers or Heaters alike should be set at a 140ºF to prevent the boiler from condensing. People would think that their boiler is leaking but it is actually condensing (sweating) from the inside.

What would happen if hot water was mixed with ice?
The hot water will get colder and the ice will melt and the water from the melted ice will get to the same temperature as the final temperature of the hot water.
What effect does the water temperature have on the solution rate?
if the temperature of the water is hot, then the sugars will dissolve faster because hot temperature increases solution rate.
What effect does the initial temperature of the water have on change in temperature of the water after the hot metal is added?
When hot metal is added into the water then the metal looses its energy into the water and this heat is gained by the water, so the temperature gets increases when hot metal added into it i.e final temperature is greater than initial temperature of water.
Does the amount of water in a hot-water bottle determine the amount of time that the water stays hot?
Lots of things affect this. Also the original temperature of the water, the temperature outside and where the bottle is left.
What are the differences in the way water molecules move in cold room temperature and in hot water?
Water molecules have more space between each other in cold room temperature than hot water.
What is the normal operating temperature of water in a domestic automatic dishwasher?
An in home dishwasher is normally connected directly to the hot water supply. The water temperature set on the hot water heater will be the same as the water temperature in the dishwasher. Normal hot water heater temps are around 120 - 140 degrees dependent upon how high the hot water heater is set at.
Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?
It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
What is hot in Fahrenheit?

What is DHW heating?
Domestic Hot Water.
Can you hook domestic hot water directly into your boiler?
No. Hot water directly from boiler is not potable.
Why do hot water storage tanks have jackets on?
the hot water temperature will not reduce due to atmosphere temperature.
What temperature is the water?
Water temperature tells you how cold or hot the water is. If the water is hot, the heat indicates the kinetic energy of the water.
What would happen if hot water was mixed with ice?
The hot water will get colder and the ice will melt and the water from the melted ice will get to the same temperature as the final temperature of the hot water.
What happened when thermometer dipped in hot water?
When a thermometer is quickly dipped in hot water, it won't do anything. If you leave the thermometer in the hot water, the temperature shown will read higher. The temperature shown will not exceed the temperature of the water.
What is the ideal temperature for a pepper grow?
The temperature needs to be really hot and the climate should be dry for good quality peppers.
What temperature is hot water?
Average temperature is 60C
What are the main domestic uses for gas water heaters?
