Not if your immerser is set well over 55C, this will kill everything it needs to kill.

I only ever use the top immersion heater in my tank as that provides enough water for me and the bottom one is broken anyway. Does that mean I'm getting a third tank of hot and the rest is lukewarm/cold and is breeding germs?

Not really. The hot water you use flows by means of the pressure of the cold water flowing into the tank and displacing the hot water that is pushed out at the top. The ‘new’ cold water will be at the bottom of the tank and the existing warm water will rise up the tank as the hot water flows out. This existing warm water will then be subject to the rigours of the immersion heater.

Additionally there will always be local currents in the tank as the water closest to the immersion heater gets hot and flows away pushing cooler water around the tank.

Therefore the water in the tank is never stagnant and is being regularly refreshed and circulated . . . . . . . . as long as you bath/shower reasonably regularly

Cheers, that's good to know. It's timed to come on for 45 minutes every 12 hours, but it hasn't killed me yet so it's probably ok.

Met a friend of the wifes a few days ago.

Me: "Is that Kelly with the policeman husband who recently quit the police?"
Her: Sounding puzzled "I don't know anyone with a husband who is in the police?"
Me: "Ehh, you were telling me not long ago about one of your friends who had a husband in the child protection part of the police but he found it all too stressful so he took early retirement?"
Her: "That's Jodie"

It's the fact that her response was so blunt and to the point, no "errr oh yeahh silly me, no that's Jodie", it's like the first part of the conversation never actually happened.

Me: I'm just going to get us a couple of takeaway coffees from Starbucks
Her: Are you going on your bike?

To be fair I've gone to McDonalds on my motorbike in the past to bring a takeaway home.

Ok the milkshake fell out of the rucksack...

Someone I knew in a past life was the same. Don't drink water from the cold tap in the bathroom.

Did you die from a bacterial infection in your past life?

Just seeing if we can add some anecdotal evidence...

Well it all ended in divorce, I didn't die and whilst I would not be interested in any further contact I wouldn't say she was a bacterial infection.

Mine won't drink cold from any tap but the kitchen.

Mine insists that the bathroom and kitchen cold water taste different despite them both coming off the mains.

Metal pipes on the link to the bathroom? (vs plastic to to house/kitchen?)

Neither will I. The cover on our cold water tank is just a couple of bits of polystyrene which are covered in all sorts of dusty crap, some of which must have fallen in to the tank over the years.

There's a cure for that, just give her a glass of each and get her to tell you which is which.

I always said that as a child at my parents house.

To be fair, if the claim is only that they taste different, you would have to provide a third, identified, glass as a control.

The water in my mums top floor bathrom tastes like crap unless you run the tap for 30 secs or so so I would say your missus is right

Usually this thread serves to remind me how lucky I am to have married a sane woman, however she just WhatsApp'd me to ask where Eindhoven is.

In order to use WhatsApp she must be on either her phone or computer with internet access...

I sent back a google maps link.
