The water temperature setting on an aquastat typically ranges between 180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93°C) for hot water heating systems. It is crucial to set it according to the specific requirements of your heating system and the manufacturer's recommendations. Maintaining this temperature helps ensure efficient heating while preventing issues like overheating or excessive energy consumption. Always refer to the system's manual for optimal settings.
There are several ways to turn down the thermostat on a water heater. Unfortunately, many models have different ways of doing this. On top the side of the water heater should be a knob that can be turned to the desired temperature. If you don't see this device, check your owner's manual for more specific directions. <<>> Midway down the side of the tank there is a device called an aquastat. It has numbers progressively increasing from left to right. These are the settings that the aquastat's contacts will open when the water temperature is reached shutting the tank off. It is like a thermostat but the sensing element is inside the tank and is surrounded by water. Generally all operate on the same principal, turn the set-point knob clockwise increases the temperature setting and turning the set-point knob counter clockwise decreased the temperature setting.
It depends upon what you are using it for. I generally use room temperature water for cooking.
Place the container of water in a vacuum & it should start to boil at room temperature.
The thermometer will show the temperature of the pure water being collected, which should be around the normal room temperature. If the water was heated or cooled prior to collection, the thermometer will reflect that temperature instead.
About 30-20
An operating system aquastat senses and controls the temperature of the water in a heating system.
Aquastats are thermostats sensing the temperature of the water itself, and are used basically to stop and start the burner by controlling the electrical circuit. The temperature of the water is held within preset limits by the aquastats. As the temperature of the water drops to the low setting, the aquastat closes a contact and starts the burner. When the temperature reaches the high setting, the aquastat opens the contact and stops the burner. There is usually a high limit setting which will open the contact, if it should fail to open on the automatic HI/LO control. This feature can be contained within the same instrument or it might be a separate unit. What temperature should the aquastat be set at for the boiler?
An aquastat is a device which automatically responds to changes in temperature of a liquid.
a reverse acting aquastat closes or activates something on temperature rise
An aquastat is a device used to control temperature in water-based heating systems, such as boilers. It monitors the temperature of the water and activates the system's burner or circulator pump to maintain a set temperature range.
there may be a problem with the gauge,sensor or thermostat try replacing the thermostat firstI think you mean the AQUASTAT, that controls the fan. The THERMOSTAT is in the upper water hose inlet and controls only the temperature of the water. The aquastat operates the fan, only.

The temperature should NOT EXCEED 104oF.
The water should be at room temperature.
It should be a cold temperature.
either your hot water heater has been installed incorrectly or the thermostat has been set too low Sorry to butt in BUT there is NO THERMOSTAT on a hot water heater there is a AQUASTAT and sometimes the heater short cycles just to maintain the SET temperature
