Hello,
My old man was a plumber and i always remember him saying to me as a kid never to drink water from the hot tap, there could spiders and whatever else in the hot water tank apparently and it's generally pretty unsanitary.
So this has me wondering:
My old man was a plumber and i always remember him saying to me as a kid never to drink water from the hot tap, there could spiders and whatever else in the hot water tank apparently and it's generally pretty unsanitary.
So this has me wondering:
- Does anyone use water from the hot tap? Surely if you use it before the boil, it doesnt matter as any nasties are boiled out?
- If you shouldnt use the hot tap for aforementioned reasons, what about hot water from an electric shower as this comes straight from the main water supply, ie the cold supply?
- Presumably, heating water with electricity has some effect on its structure at an atomic level, I'm thinking its ionic properties. Sorry if this a stupid question, but can anyone shed light?
