This is true....
OK... this is what we were told. Because of the McDonalds lawsuit the manufacturer's recommendation is 125 degrees. This is lowered from what it used to be. Our hot water heater is electric with two elements. We were told that if we turn the thermometer up on notch it would take care of the problem.
The old water heaters used to have an adjustment on the outside and now are inside so you have to open it up to make the adjustment. We were also told not to over adjust as it would overwork the water heater and it wouldn't last as long!
