water temperature.
- You will need a meat thermometer or candy
thermometer or any thermometer that will
measure down to zero degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure you are not running any
appliances such as dishwasher or clothes
washer.
- Go to your kitchen sink and turn on the
the cold water and let it run about a
minute. Hold the end of the thermometer into
the cold water for another minute. This will
tell you what the ambient temperature of the
water coming into your house is.
In the northern climates of the US, it is
normal for the ambient temperature of the
water to be between 42 and 54 degrees all
year long. In the lower southern states or
