Provides Pure Drinking Water Without Waste
The patented Zero-Waste® Point-of-Use Reverse Osmosis (RO) system from Watts is the first and only RO that wastes no water while providing better than bottle-quality water for residences. Unlike conventional RO systems that can waste 4-12 gallons for every gallon produced, the Zero-Waste reject line is recycled into a home’s hot water line feeding the dishwasher, washing machine, showers, or anywhere hot water is used. This 100% efficient reverse osmosis system includes pre-filtration to remove sediment and chlorine, and a highproduction 60 gpd RO membrane to deliver the highest quality drinking water. The Zero-Waste system comes complete with all tubing and connectors preassembled, a three gallon storage tank, and a Designer Top Mount faucet. Its space saving design makes it easy to install and service. For more information on the Zero-Waste RO System, please go to www.wattspremier.com
Provides Hot Water On Demand Without Waste
Over 25 million homes in the U.S. waste some 300 billion gallons of water per year – all of this waste is from waiting for hot water to reach the faucet or shower being used. Watts’ Instant Hot Water Recirculating System cuts this waste, bringing convenience and savings to you. This system provides instant hot water at any faucet or shower when you need it. You can install this unique ecoproduct in under an hour and realize average savings of 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of water per year. In addition, it is extremely quiet and maintenance free.

Prevents Water Scale With No Backwashing
Building owners, property managers and facility engineers have fought a losing battle against scale and its destructive by-products for many years. Now there is a better solution that is environmentally friendly and virtually maintenance free. The Watts OneFlow® Anti-Scale System prevents water scale formation by transforming dissolved hardness minerals into harmless, inactive microscopic crystal particles. These particles then make their way through plumbing systems without latching on to pipes, fixtures, valves or heating elements. To learn more, please visit www.thescalesolution.com
Make Use Of Sustainable Energy Sources
Watts Radiant’s new HydroNex® Source Select panel brings renewable energy to your new building project. This panel uses the best energy sources, including solar, bio-mass, geothermal or energy recovery. If your first choice is depleted, the controls will switch over to a back-up source, automatically. When a renewable source is available, that energy gets the priority. The Source Select is an American-made modular electro-mechanical control device. These pre-engineered, pre-tested, specifiable panels are built for single family as well as major commercial projects. They work for cooling, heat recovery, radiant floors, snowmelting or solar domestic hot water. For more information on the HydroNex Source Select panels, please visit www.wattsradiant.com
Prevents Drinking Water From Contamination
Safe drinking water is one of our most precious natural resources. Backflow prevention devices (preventers) protect residential, institutional, commercial and municipal potable drinking water from cross connection. With thousands of reported cases of potable water supply contamination in the U.S. each year, backflow preventers are required by law where needed and must be installed in accordance with plumbing codes. Watts offers an extensive array of backflow preventers to protect drinking water. These devices range from simple low hazard hose connection vacuum breakers, to larger high hazard protection reduced pressure zone assemblies used in industry and by municipalities to protect the potable water supply. Whether for home, business, industry, irrigation, fire protection, or municipal applications, Watts offers a backflow preventer that addresses your water protection needs.

Delivers Safe, Tempered Water Economically, Efficiently
PowerStation™ thermostatic tempering systems save energy and money because they extend the hot water supply by precisely blending cold water with hot to provide safe, tempered water throughout commercial and institutional facilities. Their advanced thermostatic actuation technology constantly monitors outlet water temperature and automatically controls the amount of hot water intake to maintain desired outlet temperature. PowerStations are factory assembled and tested to ease installation and optimize operation. Each PowerStation includes a recirculation pump, balancing valve and temperature/pressure gauges for system diagnostics. For more information on the PowerStations, please go to www.powerscontrols.com
Conserve Water and Energy by Reducing Water Pressure
When founded in 1874, the original Watts Regulator Company pioneered the first Water Pressure Reducing Valves for industry. Today, known as regulators, pressure reducing valves are used as “primary conservation controls”, which automatically conserve water and energy when used in high pressure areas. Because the supply of water and generation of energy are two of our most critical national resource issues, we can no longer simply increase our supply to address our growing water needs, thus making it imperative to reduce our consumption. Any reduction in the usage of water will automatically result in a reduction of the use of energy. Watts offers the largest selection of regulators for residential and commercial applications, ranging from small, low-pressure plastic regulators for lab and home use to large, high-capacity, high-pressure bronze and iron-body regulators used in industry. This breadth of offering addresses our society’s changing philosophy on the use of water, shifting away from its wasteful “water rich” mindset to a more responsible view of adjusting to our actual needs and to practice good conservation principles.

Warm Floors With Renewable Energy
Radiant is the best way to heat a space. Objects are warmed directly without overheating the air. Lower air temperatures mean less heat loss through windows and air infiltration. Zone by zone control dramatically lowers fuel bills. Water-based radiant systems can use solar, biomass, ground source, geothermal, and waste heat recovery to heat rooms. Electric-based radiant systems use programmable controls for extreme comfort at low cost in small tile floor areas.
