@cathypedrayes: Things we should’ve been taught at some point: Don’t drink or cook with hot water, it’s a lead risk. It’s fine for cleaning but when cooking, start with cold water. #themoreyouknow #learnontiktok #kitchensafety #cooking #psa
Why is there LEAD IN MY WATER IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!

Some people have new hot water heaters that they flush regularly, like you are supposed to. And replaced the lead pipes. I ABSOLUTELY use already hot water when I'm boiling water and for ice cubes. Will never stop. Life is short, and wasting time when I don't need to, pass. 🥰

It not a hot water heater 😩 just a water heater. Now there are faucets that give you instant boiling water without running thru your house’s plumbing.

As long as your plumbing is newer than 1986, there's no lead

There should normally be no lead at all in the pipes running from your water heater to your faucet.

If you have lead pipes running to your house, you shouldn’t drink any water from them, hot or cold.

If the water is already hot, then why do you need a “hot water heater”?

I put in a filter so it filters out legs specifically and I still use room temperature or cold water put it on my kennel. Let it sit for a minute and then I will put it on my stove.

Does hot water actually freeze faster than cold water? Like if we put a tub of hot water and cold water in a freeze together, would the hot water freeze first?
