Our hot water is at 48C, which is a bit cool. The standard is now 50C rather than the former 60C, which was hot enough to produce third-degree burns on adults with about 5 seconds&#8217; exposure. One issue with the lower temperature is that the bacteria that produce Legionnaires&#8217; disease thrive at 50C, so the federal government recommends 50C for everyone other than households with an immuno-compromised resident, for which they still recommend 60C. Oh, yeah. Our well pressure tank is a 32-gallon unit, which is smaller than I&#8217;d prefer but larger than I expected. Which reminds me that I need to call and bump the electrician, who was supposed to be installing a cutover switch for our generator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>09:43 &#8211; Barbara is at the gym.
