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?

There’s duration factor in there. Boiling to 165 is safe, but heats to 155 and keep there for a prolong period might also be safe, it’s depend on the bacteria.
Which is why they can make that claim.
I would still be on the safe side and do what other commenters said though
