Default Anti-Scalding device question

I have heard of an anti-scalding device that can just screw into a
kitchen
faucet. If this device exist, I could use it. Does anyone know of a web
source where I could perhaps find one?


I see someone has already suggested turning down the water heater. For
what purpose do you need to maintain water that is hot enough to
scald? You mention a kitchen faucet, which suggests either dish- or
handwashing to me. Of course it's nice to have a near-boiling water
spigot for coffee and instant soup, but those are usually add-ons, not
OE.


For those two things, I would get one of the additional flash type hot water
spigots that are designed to dispense near-boiling hot water. I wouldn't be
heating all of my water to the higher temp just for the occasional cup of
soup. Or even the very frequent cup of coffee...
