What hot water heater setting is recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to prevent scalding and what additional steps can be taken to avoid injury?

What will be an ideal response?


The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that the setting should not be higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). To reduce the possibility of scalding, water heaters can be equipped with a thermostatic nonscald mixing valve or pressure-balancing valve that holds a selected water temperature to within one degree regardless of incoming water pressure changes.
