Does the cold water not run to your shower?
If you can set your heater to a temperature that you like to shower in with straight hot water, great! If the straight hot water is too hot for a spouse or a visitor or during the summer then add a little cold water to the mix. It has never occurred to me to try and adjust the shower temperature using the dial on the hot water heater.
I find it very easy to avoid burns by testing the water temperature before I step into the shower. I test the water at every hotel I stay in and I test the water at home. If I choose to not do that then who is to blame for any discomfort I may experience?
