Hot Water
(100 points)
The Hot Water contest demonstrates that the water heating system can supply all the hot water that households use daily for washing and bathing. Teams scored points by successfully completing several daily 15-gallon "hot water draws."
The goal during these tests was to deliver 15 gallons of hot water (110°F/43.3°C) in 10 minutes or less.
