Sure beats me. Did they explain why?

I guess, if they don't heat stored water from the bottom of their electric
heaters in Quebec, that explains quite a lot

  Hi, all--


  Nick, please note that in the Quebec City study, none of the gas water
heaters had Legionella while 33% of the electric heaters did.

    . That on gas heaters being kosher at 49C because they heat the water
from the bottom just seems absurd.
