You raise an interesting point, but one that has not at all been a problem for me ever.

I can set mine at any temp and yes it gets plenty hot, once set it at 140 to see how we might like that and it was scalding!

Now I run off city water, so I have no idea how that impacts the temp vs a very deep well, but I would think the deeper you go the warmer it is???

Any deep well owners that can tell us what your cold water temp is?

Im a very long way from our treatment plant and our water can be pretty cold when it gets to me,,,
