I'm using a water soluble fert when I used normal water most of it dissolved. If I use walm or even hot water to dispose it will that bugger the nutrients?

Personally I wouldn't risk using HOT water but tepid water should be ok.

You could mix your required amount into a small bottle of tepid water.
Shake vigorously until dissolved then add the concentrated solution into your full water.

When I'm rocking GH's maxi-series, i add the powder to HOT water in a jug to shake. Never a problem here.
If I'm using CNS-17, i use HOT water in a jug also(never a prob)
CNS seems to not want to fully break down right away, if added directly to rez.
Breaks down faster in hotter water.

if you use hot or warm water. Wait for it to cool before you water or you will kill your plants.

Yes, good advice^^^^
If I'm dissolving something in a jug with hot water first, it is then going to be added to a reservoir, garbage can etc, of regular temp nute solution/water.

Not that the OP would've done that(watering plants with a warm/hot nute solution). It does kinda go without saying:-D

Haha Yea I'm not gonna put hot water on them. I'm using miracle gro maxfeed tomato fruit and vegetable, soluble.. And I'm not sure what I think might happen. Maybe kill the nutrients or make them less active or whatever
