Questions and answers
Warm not hot water. Should I raise thermostat?
Raising the thermostat on your Bradford White RG250T6N water heater will increase the water temperature, but it also increases the risk of scalding. Some appliances, like dishwashers and washing machines, may require higher temperatures. If you need hotter water, consider installing an ASSE-approved mixing valve to reduce the risk of burns while maintaining higher water temperatures. Consult a plumbing professional for proper installation.
