Water from a hot water heater is not considered 'potable'. It should not
be used for cooking or drinking.
The reason is this. The danger zone for most bacteria is 40 degrees F to
Joel, it sounds like we have the same heater and I think we have the same
engine (3GMF) - I get very hot water in half an hour of engine running or
less. It is too hot to wash dishes in without adding cold so you can
actually put your hands in - however hot that is (and my cold water is cold

If you are getting hot water from the cold water tap, the chances are that the
hot water is "spilling" from the heater through the input hose.

Jake,
Probably the same one. Guess I'll be flushing mine out. The drain has a
hose thread on it so I can probably back flush it. You may not want to
know what comes out. Even on mine the cold water gets heated when the
engine is running.

I once troubleshot a home boiler with
an integral domestic hot water coil. The water coming out of the
taps never got more than warm. Turned out there was a "balance
pipe" between the cold water input to the boiler and the domestic
hot water output. In the middle
Joel,
Not sure what heater I have. It’s old, round, and white with a black top. It
gets scalding hot after 20-30 of running time. My problem is that I get hot
water out of both the hot and cold faucets. Something isn’t plumbed right, I
think.

Bill you are absolutely correct. As a rule of thumb, one should always
avoid drinking the water out of a water heater. Domestic, marine, RV, or
otherwise. That is a strong argument for a thermal mixing valve and a temp
seting of +160°.

Water from a hot water heater is not considered 'potable'. It should not

The reason is this. The danger zone for most bacteria is 40 degrees F to
140 degrees F. There are several harmful bacteria that can live in your
water heater, including legionella, if the
Small diesel engines under light load have less “waste” heat than a similar HP
gas engine. A diesel engine also wants to be 170F to 180F to run well.
Pulling waste heat off to heat domestic water when motoring for a short time or
under light load (calm conditions, under hull speed) may increase

+1 to Jacks comments. The difficulty with flushing is that the cold water
inlet and the drain line are shared. I replumbed my heater with a 3-way
valve so that when I want to flush I shift the valve and now the cold water
goes IN the hot water outlet and OUT the drain at the cold water inlet tap.
The hot water produced via the engine heat ex-changer in my 39 exits the
faucet at slightly less that the operating temperature of the engine. If
the engine water temp reads 180F the hot water at the faucet is usually
about 170F.
