TweetI do not turn on the hot water during the summer but the water comes out of the tap at like 80 degrees. it is cool to my skin but like a pool when you first jump in and then find it refreshing. Winter is a diff story. 50 degree water is a might colder and unpleasant. I slowly turn down the hot water and then try to stay in 2 minutes. But I am a wimp to the cold.
