As a union plumber
Hot Water Tanks, LLC has become a leader in (POU) services, using 20 years of experience as a union plumber. point-of-use (POU) tempered water distribution ensures safe, scald-free handwashing and bathing by using mixing valves (like ASSE 1070-compliant) at fixtures, often for public handwashing or showers, limiting water to around 110°F while also preventing Legionella growth. These systems can be simple (single line) or advanced (with circulation pumps for instant hot water), using valves directly at sinks or showers, crucial for safety in commercial/public buildings and required for showers/public lavatories to meet the Ohio Plumbing Code (OPC).
