Watts has announced the next installment in a series of webinars for its engineer, architect, designer, and facility manager customers: "Smarter, Safer Hot Water."

This latest webinar will focus on how digital mixing valves enable engineers, designers, and facility managers to directly measure, monitor, and deliver safer hot water through domestic water systems.

Key points to be covered include an overview of how digital mixing valves:

• Efficiently deliver mixed water throughout a hot water recirculation loop while allowing remote monitoring and control of water temperatures
• Minimize the risk of waterborne bacteria in high-performance commercial and institutional facilities 
• Provide precise control needed to deliver high water temperatures that mitigate the risk of the deadly Legionella bacteria (the cause of Legionnaires’ disease) while avoiding the risk of scalding and thermal shock injuries.

By attending the entire webinar, attendees can receive 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE).
