If it's come from a hot water storage tank then there will be bactira already breading in it, give them a nice warm mid 20's vat full of suggar and the bacteria will grow.
From a combi hot water supply would not be as bad as it has not sat arround.
The whole point of steralising the equipment is to kill of bacteria and if you put them back in with the hot water then your steralising efforts are a bit of a waste of time.
hot water also disolves contaminents easier than cold so your water will have other things in that you don't want.
It's not recomended to even drink hot tap water.
Ideally we would do it with distilled water, but that's an expensive option when making cheap booze!
