Is it true or false that a hot water heater thermostat is an acceptable alternative water temperature control device?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

A hot water heater thermostat is not an acceptable alternative water temperature control device because it is designed to control the temperature of the water stored in the tank. While it does regulate the temperature of the water within the tank, it does not have the precision or versatility to ensure safe water temperatures at the point of discharge, which is crucial for preventing scalding injuries. Therefore, it is essential to use dedicated water temperature control devices that are specifically designed for this purpose to comply with safety regulations.
