A Honeywell thermostatic mixing valve provides increased protection and comfort for your family. HEALTH: Mixing valves help to prevent bacteria growth. When a water heater's temperature is set too low, deadly Legionella bacteria can grow. This mixing valve allows you to set your water heater at a high enough temperature to kill bacteria while eliminating concerns about water being too hot at the tap. SAFETY: Mixing valves help to prevent scalding. Burns can occur quickly, but this valve helps prevent scalding when used as directed. Honeywell mixing valves meet the most stringent safety standards in the industry. COMFORT: Enjoy more available hot water. The mixing action of this valve can give you up to 60-gallon performance from a 40-gallon tank - it's like adding a larger water heater without taking up the space. How Mixing Valves Work: Cold water is mixed with hot water to provide safety and comfort at the faucet. A Honeywell mixing valve allows you to set your water heater to a higher temperature to reduce the threat of bacteria growth, yet the mixing action helps prevent scalding. Plus, you’ll increase your available hot water supply by mixing hot water with cold.
