Description

The Water-Mizer™ is a water saving and discharge-tempering device engineered for bulk steam sterilizers and autoclaves. It is designed to reduce excessive water consumption while ensuring discharged condensate meets municipal sewer temperature regulations of 140°F (60°C) or less.

The Problem It Solves

Most steam sterilizers rely on continuous cold-water flow to cool steam condensate before discharge—often running 50 to 100 gallons per hour, even when the sterilizer is idle. This results in unnecessary water waste and increased utility costs, with hospitals and facilities billed for both incoming water and sewer discharge at rates that can range from $2.00 to $10.00 per hundred cubic feet (748 gallons).

How the Water-Mizer Works

The Water-Mizer™ replaces continuous tempering with a temperature-actuated, demand-based system:

Steam condensate enters the unit from the sterilizer
A built-in temperature sensor monitors discharge temperature
Cold water is applied only when needed to reduce temperature
Discharged water exits at 140°F (60°C) or below, safe for sewer systems
A vacuum breaker prevents backflow into potable water lines

Because the system is non-electrical, it requires no wiring and operates completely independent of sterilizer controls.

Water & Cost Savings

Facilities using the Water-Mizer typically see 75%–90% reduction in water usage related to sterilizer tempering. In controlled testing:

Water usage dropped from 49.3 gallons/hour to 3.7 gallons/hour
Net savings of 45.6 gallons per hour per sterilizer

In real-world installations, facilities have reported:

Tens of thousands of gallons saved per day
Millions of gallons saved annually
Return on investment in under one year, with some installations achieving payback in just months depending on local utility rates
