Zero. The 195F tap is not the same one you use for normal hot & cold water. The normal hot water in our house is set to 140F (we do not have any small children or elderly, if we did I might dial it down to 120F).

Fair enough, my girlfriend is mad when I use the hot water and later she suddenly "burns" her hand with ~50/60°C water :)
