Here 'tis! Note: since this was published, further research indicates that raising hot water temp may create heat resistant strain so no longer recommended...

Boomer, you are so correct .. a note I kept:
1 Nat'l Jewish recommended 140 …. but that's since been found to create a type of heat resistant bacteria, so new recommendation back to 120. Katherine

.. however! living in a condo other things apply such as Legionnaire's Disease! So luckily our Manager is up on things and keeps our hot water heater at 130* which hopefully is a happy medium!

Temperatures maintained below 60°C (140°F) encourage growth of LDB and other microorganisms. These pesky bacteria are REALLY a pain! Katherine
