To be fair, has anyone actually read the regulations to see what the limits will be?
Or is everyone just angry and outraged over something that might turn out to be entirely sensible?

I think people are more annoyed that H&S are sticking there noses in where people don't want them stuck.
What I do in my home has nothing to do with H&S.

The tart on the radio gave out the details including the range of temperatures it's allowed to be set at and I can't remember the exact figure but it wasn't entirely sensible.
/edit - Found it. Quote:
It's also regulation that you're not allowed to draw more than 125 litres/day/person. Details here

This^^
The limit could be boiling point and I'd still be p*ssed off. People say "oh but children could be hurt, woe is me" and my response is that everyone else bloody well survived without these "precautions" !!! |

The 125l/d/p is perfectly fine, you won't use more than that unless you lead an incredibly wasteful lifestyle.
As for the limit of 48C, that doesn't sound horrifically 'stupid' to me. I don't see the problem, plenty of other things are controlled by building standards, I don't see why water temperature should be any different.

How would I fill up my pool which takes around 11,000 litres of water? It shouldn't matter a flying fig what sort of lifestyle I lead, I'm on a meter so if I want to use more water then who is to say I can't? I'm paying for what I use.
Extend that to fuel. "Sorry mate, you can't put any more petrol in your car today, you've had your 100 litres." "But I'm 200 miles from home and my tank is empty." "Tough, the Officials who decide these things know best. I can sell you a sleeping bag and a camp bed though" Stupid isn't it. I pay for it, let me bloody well have it!

A pool is considered separately.

I like monkey baths too.
I don't like being told what to do like what they are proposing. It reeks of nanny state.

You're missing the point though. Why should anyone have the right to tell me what I can and can't use in my own home, especially if I'm quite prepared to pay for what I use?
