PROTECTION
Mixing Valves Help To Prevent Bacteria Growth
When a water heater’s temperature is set too low, deadly Legionella bacteria
can grow. The growth of Legionella is reduced when the water is heated to 140°
F. A Resideo Braukmann mixing valve allows you to set your water heater at a
higher temperature to ill bacteria while eliminating concerns about water
being too hot at the tap.
Resideo Braukmann mixing valves are designed to prevent the growth of bacteria by allowing you to set your water heater at 140° F.
SAFETY
**Mixing Valves Help To Prevent Scalding**
Mixing valves also help prevent burns and injuries due to scalding. As the
chart below shows, burns from hot water can occur in just seconds — even less
for small children. A mixing valve reduces the temperature at either the water
heater or the faucet, so our family can use the sink, shower, or tub without
fear of scalding.
