Welcome to Verne Simmonds Co.

Formed from several of ITT Corporation's water, fluid handling and anlytics businesses, we are excited to introduce you to Xylem, a global leader in water technology.  The name, Xylem, refers to the tissue in plants that transport water.  The corporate tagline, "Let's Solve Water", is an invitation and mission for all of us.   Some of the product brands you've come to know and trust that will fall under Xylem include:   Bell and Gossett, Goulds Water Technology, Domestic Pump, Hoffman Specialty, and McDonnell & Miller.

Mercury is a proven powerful neurotoxin with severe harmful side effects.  Due to the high cost of cleanup and neurological damage from Mercury exposure, most states prohibit the sale of thermometers containing Mercury.  As part of a broader initiative, the EPA is promotoing the removal of existing Mercury thermometers.   Miljoco is supporting the EPA program by promoting awareness and educating the industry as a whole of mercury-free alternatives and the proper disposal of existing Mercury thermometers.

Miljoco offers 7" and 9" liquid in glass Non-Toxic Blue Organic Spirit Filled Thermometers (SX735/SX935 series), and Solar Digital versions (CDX935)

Ever have a system where using different hot water supply temps is needed?  Like a new addition using radiant floor heating zone (110F), mixed with an existing zone with vav reheat coils (140F) and an existing perimeter fin tube system or hot water ahu coils (180F)?  Check out Lochinvar's new  stand alone control panel that integrates to the 2nd generation Lochinvar Knight Boiler(s) and manages up to 3 loop temperatures, loop pumps and mixing valves and communicates to the Knight boiler to deliver and control boiler temperature for each zone, plus domestic water prioritization if needed.  Full information can be found at  http://www.lochinvar.com/products/Default.aspx?type=ProductLine&lineID=186
