Hello,
We have a 300-liter (79-gallon) hot water tank and a gas heating system. The factory setting is 60 degrees Celsius (140°F), but our heating technician suggested that 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) would be sufficient. What about legionella bacteria? We certainly won’t completely empty the hot water tank (which supplies two showers). Our bathtub holds 220 liters (58 gallons), but it is used only occasionally. Is a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) enough? What temperature do you keep in your hot water tanks?
Best regards,
Sabine

If you shower outside your home and only shower 2-3 times a week at home, then you need a "safe" temperature.
Where can you shower "outside your home"?
