What should the bottom temperature be set at?
1793734
The upper and lower thermostats should be set at the same temperature. If you have anyone disabled, small children, or elderly, it isn't recommended that you set the temperature past 120. If you are running out of hot water, or the water has a bad odor, turning the temperature up may help. As a plumber, I recommend setting the tank to 120 and see if you have sufficient hot water. If you do, leave it alone; lower settings are beneficial for numerous reasons. 140 degrees will kill all bacteria that may be in the water, but at an increased risk of scalding.

that's a tricky question. You should set it at a temp you are comfortable with. If you have kids, they say not high enough that pure hot water coming from your tap can scald. But if you like crazy hot showers...it's all you. As far as knowing what the temp is...you really just have to set it, let the heater come up to temp and then check the water coming out of the faucet. Mine are set to about 130F, but based on my piping configuration (slab foundation) I only get about 115-120 at the faucet which works for me and my family. Your top and bottom thermostat should be set to the same temp. Again, its your call for whatever you are comfortable with. that's a tricky question.

I set mine both about the same and I have had no trouble. A plumbing contractor could maybe answer your question.

The only thing I can add is you must NEVER set the upper thermostat higher than the lower! Set at the same temperature or with the lower temperature higher than the upper.

It should be set the same as the top thermostat. They come set at 120 from the factory which is usually not hot enough for most. Should be around 130-140 degrees.

We have the top and bottom temperature set to the same thing and it is working fine.

That would honestly depend on the temp of the water at your place. This spray does not have a heating system, so your bottom will be cold if the water is cold.

Mine is currently sitting at 40 Fahrenheit/5 Celsius, and it maintains that easily. It can go lower, but I leave it on that.

"hot enough" may not help you. More specifically, two temp settings are approximately 480F/250C and 660F/350C.

good evening,the set point temperature range is 45F TO 90F which 45f would be the lowest set temp.i hope this helplove the unit work really well.

I just went and checked 90 is the highest setting 50 degrees is the lowest one. You can set it in one degree increments.

it should work fine on a low setting, i would start out low and slowly increase the temp as needed.

There is no exact temperature setting, however, it works well you will just have to play with it to find the temp you want for your area

Carl, The lowest it can be set is 45 degrees and held at that setting. I hope this helps.

55 degrees or above. I use this spring, summer, and fall. Here in Pa, I add it in the spring when the fish start moving normally. It works great every time.

From the readings I have found the recommendation is to install them at 70 degrees or higher. Just what I've seen.

The lower the temp the warmer it is. The fridge seems to run very cold so a 2/3 setting should help.

The lowest temperature setting is 45°F, and the highest temperature setting is 90°F.

The output temperature is dependent on three things. 1)Input temperature2)Gas Knob (Burner Setting)3)Temp Knob (Water Flow)The output temperature but can be lowered quite a bit. Unless your source water is already quite warm I would not expect any issues keeping it below the 85F output. However since the input temperature is what determines the min and max it ultimately depends on your cold water input temp.

"How do I set" has several meanings, will try to cover all of them. 1. there are no "user settings" on the temperature probe, if you want to check for approximate accuracy stick the probe in boiling water, at near sea level it should read 212, the reading will be lower as elevation above sea level increases. Or put the probe in ice water, should be near 32. 2. To set temperature alarm, use the up and down keys and slide alarm switch from off to alarm. 3.To set the down timer use the hour and minute buttons to set time and press the start/stop button to turn on/off. 4. Set the control/read out unit outside the oven and probe inside the oven. My pyres unit "died" and new ones do not have metal shield protected probe. Now use a similar unit made by Thermoworks, highly recommended. Great product and company.

Hi: In answer to your question, 45 degrees is the lowest mine will set at. Hope that helps, Phillip

I have it at the lowest setting. I heat a small space which has thick 4" foam insulation (my pump house is about 4' x 4' x 4'). The thermometer usually reads about 60° F. A little warmer than I need, but acceptable. The lowest setting is supposed to come on at 35° F. I also have a second heater for back up.
