22 - SAFE AND SANITARY HOT WATER DELIVERY SYSTEMS

We could have titled this idronics™ issue "Safe Domestic Hot Water Delivery Systems".  But with growing incidences of water contamination and related problems such as Legionnaires' disease, we thought to include "Sanitary" to add emphasis on factors other than the one most commonly associated with safe domestic water -- burn protection.

This issue of idronics focuses on methods and hardware for controlling temperature in domestic hot water delivery systems.  It describes temperature-based disinfection for minimizing the potential for biological contamination.  It also discusses ways to ensure that the water supplied from fixtures will not cause burns.
