I posted before of taking water from you hot tap and then waiting a few hours to cool. I even drank water that way occasionally, but physician with whom I spoke mentioned some toxic stuff can come from PVC pipes with hot water running through them. So I have stopped getting my water that way....

Actually, perhaps I shouldn't have said that thing about PVC.... the doctor didn't say which kind release toxic stuff, so it is possible that copper pipes release toxic stuff too... I'm not a chemist, but I have taken some chemistry, and with my limited chemistry experience/knowledge... I doubt copper causes toxic stuff to be put into the water when the water is warm or hot.
