A few are able to go higher but you need to boil the water and that would require the temperature to reach 212 degrees for it to be sterlized. You turn on the boiling hot sterile water and it would scald you with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Thus, creating and unsafe hazard in your home. No…the water heater should be set at 110 – 120 degrees.

You need to boil it to sterilize it. If you're breaking out in rashes, you should get the water tested. No. A hot water heater doesn’t get hot enough to sterilize.
