My water is 4-10C at its coldest. For me if it gets above 15C it doesn't have the same effect.

As cold as possible is best.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could measure this and find if there's a point where colder water doesn't provide a benefit, or rapidly diminishing returns?

Wouldn't it be nice if there was evidence that 14C water conferred the same benefits as 4C water?

I know it would be way easier for me to suggest this as a habit to family if I didn't tell them, "yeah you just use water as cold as it goes, even in winter when your pipes are about to freeze".
