| think of it this way. during the heat of the summer when you first turn on your hose it is really hot then cools off.
have you tried running it for a while?
are you getting the water from the sink? | |

| It should cool Dow after a few minutes. It is that hot because it is comin from pipes from the street through you garage. That's where it is very hot. After a while. The water will cool down. Just let it run for a few minutes and you should be ok | |

| Dump some ice in it, I have the same issue from time to time. During summer you need to check the water temp before you start a water change or do it in the morning. |

| Prepare your water the day before your water changes. The water will be room temp. | |
