Technically speaking, if the water was heated to that temp and maintained for an hour, the water would then be sterilized? Could go a step further and boil the water for a short period.

With a beefy enough heater, the tank could be heated to 104 and maintained, thus cleaning the entire tank without having to tear down?
Are there flaws in my logic here?
