Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel water heater design that has been granted a patent. This innovative system addresses the risk of harmful bacteria, such as Legionella pneumophila, growing in residential plumbing by heating water to a high temperature to kill the microbes. The design then cools the water to a safe temperature to prevent scalding, offering a more effective solution than traditional water heaters. AI
