WASTING HOT WATER?
to Heppner.
Sheriff's Report
cReal
Estate
Do you heat hot water you
don’t use? One o f the simplest
ways to save money is to
lower the temperature o f your
hot water heater. If you have
it set at 160 degrees, lower it
to at least 140 and shoot for
between 115 and 106 degrees,
For showers and domestic
needs, 105 - 110 degrees is
as hot as you need. Beyond
that you would scald yourself.
Trying to conserve hot water
by mixing it with cold water
is not economical.
If you need 140 degree hot
water for your dishwasher.
turn your heater up just befiye
dinner so the water will be hot
when you need it. After your
dishes are done, turn it back
down. You don’t need 140
degree water for your morning
shower and it’s a waste to have
it sitting in your tank all day
while you pay to keep it hot.
While you’re at it, don’t
forget to put an insulation
blanket around the water
heater and drain the sediment
every six months. A dirty
heater is inefficient and more
expensive to operate.
