I have just found out there’s ecoli in my well water at the place we just moved to and am hearing I need 165 to kill ecoli but my dishwasher says it only heats to 155 but claims this meets the standard for safe drinking water.
Confused about whether or not it’s safe to use the dishes coming out of my dishwasher till the well manager can come up with a method to treat the water or something.
I can’t even imagine how I would boil the water I use to run through the dishwasher or clean my dishes with boiling water by hand sounds super fun.
Is it safe to use the dishwasher?

The lowest level explanation is: you don’t have to *kill* the bacteria to *remove* the bacteria.
It’s like washing your hands. You get them clean, but the hot water coming out of your sink shouldn’t be more than 120°F (which I think is like 50°C) or you could potentially scald yourself.
You just send the live bacteria on to live it’s best life in the sewer somewhere 😂
