      If the water in your pipes is that cold, you’re likely looking at a burst pipe issue anyway

        Well you flush and that takes out the water in your pipes. Then you get cold ass water from the pipe outside in the ground.

      Water doesn’t have to be 0°C (32°F) to freeze.

      Depending on your elevation, it can change.

      If the water in your pipes is even close to 1°C you have a serious problem.

      You can also hook a bidet to your hot water line

      The first bit of water will be wall temperature water and it will take a bit to fully warm up because you have to clear out the lines (some bidets will drain the first bit of water before squirting you)
