What is your preferred water temperature?

In the winter I prefer a warm enema. In the summer I use cold tap water or ice water also. I do not get cramps from the colder water, and it is a nice feeling to have the coldness going in.

Any time of year, I find I can relax and take more water if it is warm, not cold, not hot. My mom trained me on the warm temperature, as typically it would calm me as it began to flow inside me. She would encourage me as it continued to flow in and massage me if I began to get a cramp, etc.

I like a couple warm water ones followed by a third colder one especially in the summer!

I always use warm water. Cool water seems to throw my colon/rectum into unproductive contractions and it doesn't work as well. Probably about 100F-105F usually. Comfy and works well.

I prefer for the water to be just cool enough that I can feel it going in.

In the middle of this current heat wave, I may opt for downright cold for my next one.

I used to always go for 105FFahrenheit. Now I like it in upper 80's F mostly, especially through the summer.

I prefer 40 - 42C (104 - 108F). Sometimes I like to add a little extra to my enemas. 45C (113F) is my max temp. In the other end I go down to 20C (68F), if I really want to feel the enema going in.

Yes, I have tried 250 ml (8.5 oz) water with ice cubes. It is okay for a short play.

110 to 115 degrees max summer 70 to 90 degrees

I like mine very warm just a little less than hot

I like my enema water very very warm...I want to feel it!! On a hot day, a nice cool filling is quite erotic.

Neutral not to hot and not to cold i find if any enema takes a while the water cools down a bit my 2Cents

105 degrees measured before pouring into bag , by time flow stars it's down to about 103 , , can not even feel it when health aide starts flow . no jumping or jerking from cold blast , relax ,all of a sudden she says all done , Perfect !!

105-106F feels best going in but a little lower, like 102-104F, is easier to hold.

If I have had a deep enema but some feels to be "stuck", a cool quart from the tap seems to kick-start things. Not sure what the temp is but it is straight from a well. Maybe 60F?

I like it just a little on the warm side, close to body temperature, tested on the back of my hand. I don't want to subject my innards to any unnatural challenges. I want everything to be nice and normal.

Whatever is safe so 99-101 anything gotter than 103 is dangerous I think

Up to 115F is fine.

Up to 115F is fine.

I think I agree with @SwitchableSusie. I have my water heater set to a temp that can never scald anyone. A full-hot shower is possible, although usually I add a little cold. And when filling my bag I use only hot water.

Taken hundreds of enemas and it's never been too hot. Of course being in the bag, and hanging for a while as I get ready, find a video and start it always cools the water a bit.

104

You couldn't do that at my house. We like to live dangerously. My husband, and I agreed, got a commercial 100 gallon, 180F water heater, so we never ever run out of hot water. He keeps it set on 180F. I almost never have to run the steam unit when I want a steamy start to my showers. The oil burner service man always tries to lower it but hubby won't let him because hubby likes to run the dishwasher on the (approximately) 12 minute start to finish cycles and he never wants to run out of hot water when we have sleepover company. We don't even have an instant hot water faucet in the kitchen because there is instant hot water everywhere. He actually has a DANGER sign in the guest bathroom showers! We never had a problem. Our girls and their boyfriends never had a problem either. A little care on the part of the user goes a long way.

115 for me on rainy or snowy nights ,cooler as the weather warms up on those summer nights !

Keeping hot water at a faucet to 180 degrees is not only extremely wasteful and useless, it is seriously dangerous! It will melt your skin off! When you rush a guest or a child to the hospital with 3rd degree burns, do you want to say "well there was a warning sign!"

I doubt a standalone water heater can even heat up to 180°. That is the temperature of actual boiler water, that is used in baseboard heating, or a source for an indirect water heater. It is never fed to faucets! Even a commercial unit is made to be fed to faucets and showers, and would not get to 180° .

Talking about an 'instant hot water faucet" usually means for tea, instant coffee. Are you using your hot faucet for that??? The hot faucet should NEVER be use for consumption! Hot water running through pipes causes all sorts of chemicals to Leach into the water - copper, lead, iron, solder flux, etc. All water for cooking or drinking should come from the cold faucet. That's why small point of use hot water heater/faucets always take their source from the cold supply.

And as far as having "instant hot water" at faucets due to your water heater, unless you have a whole house recirculation system, that is basically impossible. There will always be cold water standing in the pipes that has to be flushed out first. Which makes it worse, because someone could adjust the temp to be good, and then when the real hot water comes through as it's running, they burn the shit out of them mselves because the temperature rose dramatically!

Lookup the commercial/restaurant Bock heaters. 180F or bust!

Yes we do have hot water circulation throughout the house. Some faucets/bathrooms have pipe runs well over 100 feet from the water heater.

180F is required for sanitization in restaurants.

We're not worried.

All our drinking and cooking water is reverse osmosis which comes out room temperature. Bathrooms also have reverse osmosis drinking water.

You need boiled water for coffee and tea anyway.

Had an uncle with a whole house hot circulation water supply. It had a pump in the garage keeping it moving all the time from water heater tank up and around in the attic, over the whole house, and back into the water heater. After the first year, they abandoned it because the gas bill was so high. The electric pump was burning a couple dollars a day too.

But as to good enema temperatures, if elimination is hoped to be successful, less than body temp was recommended by the older than me experts. They say those upper temperatures puts the colon to sleep. The cooler temperatures will activate a lethargic colon. Barely warm to cool was gramma's way, born late 1800's.

Try it, i think you will like it.

Concerning 115F, run 5 inches of 115F water in your tub. Measure it with a digital, perhaps, meat thermometer, to take out the guess work. Sit on the side of the tub, pick up your feet, and turn to place them into that 115F water. Oh, have a clock with a second hand and time your reactions, too please.

Never above 111F. When I measure I use a digital meat thermometer. I've done enough enemas through the years that I can tell the difference between 107, 109, and 111F. with my palm. I have the hot water heater set for 115F. I have taken a few at 115F. through the years measured, but that is generally too hot. I have had two colonoscopies without any trouble from the temperature.

What was he using,a pool pump? All you need is a circulator pump like on a hot water heating system zone. Maybe it uses 3-4 kilowatt hours per day, probably a lot less, and the hot water pipes need to be insulated. It isn't costly to run.

A circulator pump for a family house need a maximum of 40 W. and there are 24 hours in a day this will equal to 960 W. But the gas bill this is different. The most easy option is a remote control with a timer switch, or to connect the pump to the same circuit as the bathroom lighting. At my home the water pipes are not insulated, the energy lost is warming the house, Belgium is not a warm country. when the children were still at home and the day started early and always at the same time it was a " seven days " daily time switch who switch on automatically the pump all working days. Saterday and Sunday were devalidated/Not Used. There are 90 feets (30 m.) between the boiler and the bathtub.

My prefered water temp is a bit warmer than body temp, 104° ± 3° F. or 39° ± 3°C. and a slow flow. But when doing a little rinse to be clean for fantasy the temp is not too warm, not oo cold, a little rinse in a rows of a 60 cc syringue, like the first one syringue, the second two syringues, the third three syringues, the 4 th 2 syr. , the 5 th 1 syr. , the 6th 1 syr. . Larger volume are only for the fun of the filling, and always done after a little rinsing.

Enema OOOH YESSS, Scat OH NO !

105 for me

Up to 115F is fine.

OK, Let me qualify that reply.

115F is OK for ONE enema followed by a cooling down period.

Your body will cool down the water shortly and distribute the heat to your entire body. You will perspire to help lower your core body temperature. A colonic or repeat enemas at that temperature with fresh 115F degree water circulating for an hour would be very unhealthy and dangerous for some people raising the core temperature to dangerous levels similar to heat stroke in severity. You could end up in the ER and/or unconscious if you ignored your body signs telling you the prolonged heat was too severe.

ONE enema at that temperature is all. A cooling down period for the core is necessary before a repeat run.

For a warm enema when it's cold outside or I am lying in the bathtub full of warm water, I like a 105 degree enema. In the summer or for a cleansing/ purgative enema a cool, but not cold enema is best. It is somewhat cramping and cleans me out well.
