Prevent Water Scalding – Protect Your Hands !

$550.00

Safe use of your home’s hot water is imperative to prevent water burns, which account for over 20% of all burns and numerous emergency room visits, unfortunately many disabling if not fatal.   Our perception + reaction time extends as we age, from average of two (2) seconds to twice that or longer, yet for children and aging it takes only one (1) second to get scald burns from water which must be hot enough to prevent Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia.

A safety device called the anti-scald valve, also known as tempering valve and mixing valve, assures that the water reaching your faucet is limited to your desired safe set point of 55degC, by mixing cold water into with incoming hot water from your water heater, so that the hot water that arrives at your  fixture is not hot enough to scald a person.
