THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVES (TMVs) AND SAFETY
1.
A TMV is a device that mixes the hot water from your water heater with cold to deliver water to your tap at a safe temperature. Water heaters are commonly set at 120°F, which is considered safe for home use.
3.
A TMV should be installed by a qualified contractor.

Is my ERWH communication enabled?
SmartShift Rewards connects to your water heater using Wi-Fi or cellular signals, depending on your water heater’s design and the availability of internet communications at your water heater’s site. Some older electric resistance water heaters may need to have a control device installed to participate. Regardless of your water heater’s capabilities, SmartShift Rewards can help you connect by providing a communications device at no cost to you.
A qualified contractor can install a communications device on your water heater.
