Is using hot water from tap bad?

[buddha1200]

i do it every four days no problems either

It cuts the oxygen supply in the water.

Right other than that keep it as close as you can no problems.

I betting it has to do with how the copper reacts with the water when the water is heated Im betting extra heavy metals but i wouldnt sweat it if your a carbon lover

I've done it for years with no issues I am aware of.

Just run the hot for a moment to clear out any copper, etc. After the first blast of water, the concentrations of dangerous metals are undetectable.

Depends on how "hot" you're talking.

Really hot water weakens your seams on glass/silicone sealed tanks. That's typically why you're told not to do it. The silicone softens and the glass blows off.

I also use some hot water. I notice that if I use pure cold water the water comes out clear and for some reason my hot water looks kind of cloudy. Any ways I use both hot and cold with no ill effects.

I notice that if I use pure cold water the water comes out clear and for some reason my hot water looks kind of cloudy.

That's probably because hot water has less capacity for dissolved gases, so some gas comes out as fine bubbles; i.e., cloudiness.

Water heaters are glass-lined, and shouldn't result in alot of dissolved metals in the water.

also do it with war water from the tap and never had any problems, i would not like to risk dropping temperatures too much

No probs either, just warm water added to cold - approx same temp as the tank.
