Can you connect a hose to a hot water heater

i guess all i know is once i tested cold water with minimal minerals and metals, about room temp with a bit more and hot with the most. this was a drinking water experiment i ran a long time ago as a school project had several controls and those where my results. i don't remember specifics just the fact that the hotter it got the more their was to be found. i was thrown by this too as i thought hot water kills off bacteria their for it must be the cleanest i was wrong

Once water is heated it has more ability to absorb everything. It is where it goes and what it does after it leaves the water heater that affects what is in it. In your typical home the hot water will move through modern pipes and come in contact with copper, nickel, and brass. But how much of those minerals are picked up when the water is moving fast past it is negligible. I have been changing all of my piping to pex, which eliminates a huge amount of that.

GOT IT!!!!!unscrewed the airaitor and there was the tip I needed....My bathroom sink is about 10 feet from my tank so filling it just became so much easier. I use to fill it by filling a 15gallon trash can in the kitchen( 30ft away) with the spray nozzle(about 10 minutes per fill)then dragging it to the tank, getting my 90LB girlfriend to help me lift it 4 feet to fill the tank.....repeat about 5 times.
