Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.

    I have a hot water recirc system that pumps hot water to the cold tap. Does that explain why I’ve started turning on my car’s hazard lights when it rains?
