We offer a range of services, including comprehensive TMV installations, servicing, and maintenance for various environments. Specifically, healthcare and education facilities.
How TMVs Work
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) precisely blend hot and cold water to maintain a safe, pre-set temperature. Key features include:
- Failsafe Mechanisms: Automatically shut off when water supplies fail, preventing exposure to hazardous temperatures.
- Consistent Performance: Maintains water temperatures between 39°C and 43°C, essential for preventing Legionella growth and other waterborne hazards.
- Legionella Prevention: By setting the hot water feed between 50°C and 60°C and the cold water feed below 20°C, our systems reduce the risk of Legionella.
The Importance of TMV Installations
Without TMVs, public facilities face a significantly higher risk of scalding injuries—especially alarming when nearly 600 incidents occur annually in the U.K., with 75% involving children under 5. Our professional installations not only protect your facility’s users but also ensure that your property meets all legislative and safety requirements.
Our TMV Installation Process
Every facility has unique needs. Our expert team assesses your requirements to recommend the most suitable TMV system, regardless of the installation’s complexity or location.
We ensure every installation complies with current standards and legislation, keeping your facility safe and legally compliant.
Regular servicing is essential. Our maintenance packages help you stay on top of water temperature monitoring and address any deviations immediately.
Proper TMV Temperature Setting
Ensuring the correct TMV temperature setting is vital for safety and compliance. Set the hot water feed within 50 and 60°C, and keep the cold water feed below 20°C. Maintaining the TMV temperature within 39 – 43°C significantly reduces the risk of Legionella and other hazards. Promptly address any deviations in water temperature from the TMV to mitigate potential risks.
Additionally, we provide Legionella Contractors services, including legionnaires risk assessments and remedial works for legionella growth in water systems across the UK
