Water temperature critical or ?

I just adjust it until it feels comfortable on my hands , Just down from ouch too hot for comfort, then add soap and fill the bag. No clue what temperature it is.

I do my best to keep it around 105 degrees, seems to work well that way

I have two 16 ounce piston syringes that I connect to a Tee with silicone tubing plus a clamp on each tube. I use another length of tubing to connect the outlet of the tube to my enema nozzle. Sometimes i use a double balloon nozzle. I put about 100 degree water in one syringe and VERY cold water in the other. I alternate injecting hot and cold water into my anus. The hot water is great but when the cold goes in, instant cramps. Quite an experience...

I don't usually measure the temperature of my enema solution with the exception of hot coffee. Freshly brewed, it is way too hot for colon consumption. Some people use ice to bring the temperature down, I don't because I want the coffee full strength. I will use freezer packs to cool the coffee or just let it cool in the bag. I won't start taking it until it's cooled down below 115°F and then only very, very slowly to allow the coffee to cool in the hose on the way to my rectum. I don't want it uncomfortably hot. Same is true with other hot water enemas. My personal limit probably is around 115°F. I do like the sensation of warmth.

Here is an archived discussion "What is your preferred water temperature?

That discusses temperature. Too hot is not safe so be a bit careful with temperature.

When using a fountain syringe, water temperature flowing from the tap, filling the bag and then being injected into the rectum can drop at least 3 to 5° depending how long it takes to hang the bag, get into position, apply lubricant, etc.

Warmth can be therapeutic, but I’ll never take or give an enema with the water over 105° into the body.

As preteens, when our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene. She taught us to judge water temperature using our wrist or the back of our hand. Afterwards, when enemas became our responsibility, we used our grandmother's technique for judging water temperature and never had an issue doing so. In fact, I personal still use it today.

I usually test the temperature on my wrist like a baby bottle.

Vicky V said in regards to a 3H enema:: Women weren’t thrilled to be given a large soapy enema, especially in their condition. The enema was uncomfortable, even painful, but that’s what they had to endure.

That is SO TRUE! My wife never received an enema when growing up but did receive one when her daughter was born. She said:" I had natural childbirth and the enema was the worst part of it. I never want another one." She said that enema was very hot and the solution looked like milk and really burned and irritated her rectum and colon. She knew that I took enemas and readily helped me with them, becoming a skilled enema giver early in our marriage, but she would not receive. About one year into our marriage we were staying at a Bed & Breakfast in a small East Texas town and she woke me up in the middle of the night with stomach pains, wanting to go to an ER. The closest one was about 75miles away. After determining that she did not have appendicitis and was constipated, I talked her into an enema from my trusty latex folding travel syringe. I gave her a full bag of warm water with baking soda and she was able to hold it a minute and she had a great bowel movement after. She remarked: "That enema was not bad at all, and I feel great afterward." I had been telling her that enemas did not have to be painful. After that I was able to give her enemas on a regular basis. She did not find them as erotic as I do, but she enjoyed being clean for anal sex or for rectal use of a vibrator which she really enjoys.

I think temp is somewhat critical. I never know the exact temp, only the back of the hand feel. I usually fill a pitcher from the bath tub faucet then into the bag. Personally the temp is not real critical to me if it is in the "range" . On cold days I use a little warmer and on hot days a little cooler. All good.

When I was young the temperature was decided for us by our mother, it was usually around normal body temperature. When we got older and started preparing it ourselves instead of having our mother do it, we were told to use our hand to test it, or use a thermometer (we did not use rectal thermometers by the time my siblings and I were having temperatures taken) to take our temperature then make the enema the same temperature.

In my teens and 20’s I played around with hot and cold and all in between to see what it all felt like. I would say if you are taking an enema for comfort/ leisure, temperature is critical and should be 1 or 2 °C above rectal body temperature for comfort. If you are having a punishment enema, cold water will make you cramp like crazy, hot is obviously more dangerous.
