Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

What about the water heater? Anything attached to it?

 

Why would you want to heat hot water ?

 

Time for some new eyeballs, Gomer.

 

I saw those lines, but I don't see them hooked up to anything in the spaghetti bowl.

We've covered this before...

Suppose my HOT water heater is set to 120 degrees. When the water drops to 118, the HOT water heater kicks on to warm the 118 degree water.

Bet that ass you don't want to immerse yourself in 118 degree water.

Why?

Because it's HOT.

Therefore, I have a HOT water heater.

 

What is the temp of the supply water that enters your hot water heater? I'd say that water heater is the more accurate term however call it what you want and let the Karen's howl.

 

If you water heater is hot, something is wrong.

 

Asked and answered.

118 degrees is, objectively and subjectively, HOT.

 

It's just a water heater. It does not only heat hot water.

 

A volume of water at 60 degrees F, which is typical of tap water, would be a damn bright infrared source in 99.999999% of the observable universe, so, yeah... It does.

 

just last week when proving myself moderately correct on the temp of groundwater up here, 58 F, I for the first time saw that it warms towards the equator… for some reason I thought it was the same temp around the world down in the aquifers… still pretty neat and now makes me wonder what the ground temps are in the hole to hell they dug in Russia…

 

I recently read a short article about that and they supposedly were planning on drilling much deeper but they had to stop because whatever "drill head" they were using kept melting.

EDIT: A little searching says "lack of funding" and "challenging temperatures" killed the project.

In South Texas, the tap water comes out pretty warm, wish it was 58 F. I'm guessing it comes out around 70 F in the summer.

 

At aquifer depth, 100 to a fewer hundred feet, the temperature is almost precisely the long term average of the 24/7/365 surface temperature. Lower than that it begins to rise from the core's heat.

 

Mannnn, look how hot Christina Applegate was.

 

Cool, thanks. Didn’t realize the average temps around the equator would be that low…I’m sure the Russians kept the data and published it… I remember they had to quit digging because of the heat. So mines probably never get deep enough for temps to be an issue or even change much for that matter?

 

typo it’s 48 F up here… here is a map… good guess on your TX temp…

 

The two gals on the right are the only thing hot I've seen on this discussion about water heaters.

 

Life sure is handing her a shit sandwich currently.

 

Nah, man. There's some gold mine in South Africa that's... well... Africa hot!

Rock temperature is over 150 degrees!
