Want to ask a question. I think I read somewhere since researching MAC that it could be killed with a temperature of water to 130 degrees. Did I read this at one point on this forum? Have you ever heard this? When people were talking about a new shower head we just adjusted our hot water to 130....hope this helps.

We set our temp to 135F. Before I shower, I turn the spigot all the way up and run hot water through the shower to flush out the pipes while I leave the room to get undressed. (Exhaust fan running full blast.) I don't think there is MAC in our water because we have pink slime mold (methylobacter) and the two don't usually coexist, but just an extra precaution. The I adjust before stepping in.

@gej53 The higher water temperature setting inhibits the growth of MAC. We had ours raised for that reason. Just be careful that you don’t burn yourself! irene5
