One CommunityA thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) blends hot and cold water to maintain a safe, consistent outlet temperature, enhancing safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. It rapidly shuts off water during pressure loss or supply failure, preventing scalding or thermal shock.

Why and How to Use Thermostatic Mixing Valves to Save Energy and Money
A thermostatic mixing valve works much like a thermostat in your house. You set a desired temperature and the device opens or closes the hot water valve in order to maintain the proper temperature setting. In the case of our showers, the valve would only use the point-source water heater when necessary to attain the correct temperature thus decreasing the probability of wasted hot water and the resultant wasted energy.
