What's the water temp for a hot shower?

I was thinking about this-water boils at 220. You can hop into a pool where the water temp is 80 and it still feels relatively cold (at least, far colder than any of us would ever take a shower at).

So, how close are we to boiling ourselves everytime we take a hot shower or get in the hot tub? What's the actual water temp range for those things?
 
98°F in a Jaccuzzi and I can be in there for nearly an infinity. Remember, your body temperature is about 98.6°F.
100°F and I can be in there for a couple of hours.
102°F and I can be in there for 30 minutes before being quite uncomfortable.
104°F and I must leave after 15 minutes.
106°F and I don't like to be in there at all.

Move that +-2°F depending on your personal tastes.

Humidity is also a factory with air temperature.
 
I like 108 to 110 for the hot tub / shower. Its extremly hot at first but then your body gets used to it and its nice.

Water boils at 212 at sea level. Where are you that it boils around 220?

In the land of shoddy memory. 🙂 In fact, I live in high altitude, so the bp is even lower (202).

Oh well, forgive my ignorance. 🙂

Sweating in the shower is no problem. Sweating AFTER the shower since you are still too hot is what really bothers me. I hate taking a shower and still feeling dirty and smelly afterwards.

Yes, yes I do. If my skin isn't red when I get out it wasn't a proper shower. 😛

Actually, that's the best shower: the hot water opens up your pores and the sweat washes toxins away.

Yes it is, and it's located here in the south. During the summer months they add a second shift, which increases production by as much as 95%.

































 
Water heater was dialed up to around 110. Now that I have a toddler in the house I've bumped it back to around 90.
