Summer water temps out of faucet

Yes, that is normal...The benefit for us is that when it is warmer, there are WAY less dissolved gasses in the water. You can change huge amounts during this time safely, as gas embolism (which is a threat, in the cold water, high gas months, of Winter)kills more fish, than common hobbyist know

I researched that extensively a few yrs ago as our water is stored 200 ft underground in a well. It's the hot/warm water that has a ton more CO2. The cold water has a lot less. The problem is in the winter people turn the hot water faucet partway on to warm the water up-that's where the CO2 problem comes more into play because heated water has more CO2 coming up through the pipes & through the hot water heater from being stored underground. The cold water here (Oklahoma) has to come clear up from 200 ft under the ground and it's COLD, about 55 degrees.

You are correct, Co2 is more prevalent in warmer water...Embolism is caused by excessive amounts of Oxygen, and nitrogen, in the water, not Co2. Embolism occurs in cold water, which holds more dissolved gasses.

So your saying you turned on the faucet to cold and after a few minute of running it was 80F, isn't that bad. I mean how do you get it cold. I'm lost.

Yes, the "cold" water comes out at 80 during the summer. happens every year. what's confusing?

Damn, that's crappy. I mean good for the tanks, but no cold water at all during the summer. I'm glad I live in Ohio.

eh, you get used to it. let's put it this way, i just went and ran errands on the bike, intake air temp said 111....so yeah it's a little warm.

hmm thats interesting, i will have to check mine and see what it is.

OMG where the heck are you? Venus?

Like I said, if I tried to take a cold shower and found the water coming out at 80F I'd go postal against the water department.
