Can I ask you a question and I'm not trying to be sarcastic or funny. Would you sleep well if you knew there was a bomb in your basement or garage? One that was armed 24/7 and if the built in saftey devices failed on the trigger it would go off? How long would you keep it there? Water heaters are nothing to mess around with. 180 degrees in water heating is boiler vessel territory and requires a lot better metal and a lot more safety features.

i’ll keep it at 180 thank you!

That’s where i’ve kept it for the last 51 years since I left home and got married and that’s where it’s going to stay..
