What to use to test hot water?

It depends on how hot I want it to be. If I want regular out-of-the-tap hot water, I stick my finger in it quickly and then shout and wave my hand about when it's actually hot. If I need boiling water to be a certain temperature, I measure the temperature with a candying thermometer.


Need to replace hot water lines. Do you need to turn off the hot water heater if you shut off the main water line?

Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater. You will see boiler scale come out of your water heater. Leaving the boiler scale in your water heater makes it less efficient. It makes it harder to heat your water. It is the same as throwing money down the drain. If you want to give your money away, you should give it to the Salvation Army instead of the Utility Company.
