I disagree with this. Water does not need to be boiling for adequate rate of evaporation. Case in point - oil cooler thermostats are generally designed to maintain oil temp around 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit.

...but 220 is no biggie as long as pressure doesn't drop off. I don't know because I still don't have a pressure gauge
