We would prefer not to introduce salt water into our anchor locker via the salt water washdown system as the dirty salt water courses thru the boat until it eventually reaches the bilge. In as much as the washdown hose at its origin in the ER is in close proximity to both the hot and cold fresh water lines I have decided to abandon the salt water source in favor of fresh. We carry plenty of fresh water. The question is; would it be preferable to use hot or cold fresh water? Hot would be my preference as I would expect it to clean the chain and anchor better than cold water. If I'm going to make the change I would like to maximize the return. Thanks for your responses.
