Therm-O-Tech’s Hosedown Station incorporates patented Vortex technology to deliver water at the required temperature quickly, quietly and on demand. Here's how it works...

The system utilizes a thermal element located at the outlet of the mixing valve (GREEN arrow).
Cold water enters the mixing valve and forms an inner vortex that moves from the inside out (BLUE arrows).
Incoming steam forms an opposing outer vortex that moves from the outside in (RED arrows).
Mixing occurs as the two vortices collide, thoroughly mixing and heating the water to the desired temperature (PURPLE arrow).
