WHITE PAPER
Switch to Smarter Water Tempering
Traditional thermostatic mixing valves can drift by ±7°F, creating unpredictable temperature swings that increase the risk of scalding and legionella growth. With legionella capable of multiplying into trillions of bacteria in just one week, and scald injuries accounting for 34% of all U.S. burn cases, temperature instability is a serious liability. Discover how digital mixing delivers ±2°F precision, faster response to demand changes, and real‑time system insight that empowers facilities to protect occupants, reduce risk, and improve energy efficiency.
Temper Water. Not Expectations.
Empower users with remote tempering insight and control, ensuring 24/7 scalding and waterborne bacteria protections.

Digital Mixing Savings Calculator
Estimate the difference in energy cost (in energy units and dollars) required to heat water to desired settings between the IntelliStation and an equivalent TMV.
- Calculate the energy required to raise recirculation water temperature from the lowest end of the temperature control range to the outlet and water heater temperatures
- Provides a high-level estimate of savings gained by better temperature control and lower circulated temperature during non-use hours. Greater savings can be calculated using the broader calculation tool that allows for separate water heater/outlet temperature settings for the DMV/TMV valve types.

Resort Turns to IntelliStation 2 for Improved Operations
The Grandover Resort struggled with inconsistent hot water temperature and pressure that jeopardized guest satisfaction and lost the facility money in refunds.
- Traditional TMVs couldn’t keep up with demand, leaving upper floors with weak pressure and tepid water temperatures
- They installed the IntelliStation 2 and immediately restored nearly 6 pounds of pressure
- Eliminating customer complaints, The Grandover improved guest comfort, reduced energy consumption, and lowered overall energy costs
