Is there a difference in cleanliness between cold and hot tap water? - Helping each other not for profit, just for the love of it ...

I%26#039;m a little wierd about it too sometimes... I%26#039;ll almost always fill up the kettle or boil cold water instead of hot.. I can%26#039;t remember where I heard it from...but I thought that hot water had more contaminants in it .. I guess I%26#039;ll just have to look into it some more :P :)

• no water is water it enters the house in the same water line as for washing your hands as long as you suds them up good and rinse your hands will get the same cleanliness
• The warm water line will be cleaner of bacteria as it has been scalded in a water heater tank but it is still mixing with the cool water and it doesnt really matter since most water has chlorine in it that kills everything.
