Then you get cold ass water from the pipe outside in the ground. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Water doesn't have to be 0°C (32°F) to freeze. Depending on your elevation, it can change. If the water in your pipes is even close to 1°C you have a serious problem. You can also hook a bidet to your hot water line The first bit of water will be wall temperature water and it will take a bit to fully warm up because you have to clear out the lines (some bidets will drain the first bit of water before squirting you) permalink fedilink source parent
