state-of-the-art AV equipment. We are looking to expand our other facilities in a similar manner as well as 24-hour online accessibil- ity for people to look at courses and be trained in that way. According to Peter Parsons national product training manager for Watts Water Technologies the new learning facility offers a real- istic working experience. The grand opening featured a tour of the new facility by more than 450 guests including custom- ers sales representatives associ- ates media and invited guests. One of the attendees present at the grand opening was Michael Breault product manager Watts Radiant and Hydronics. The Watts Works Learning Center represents to me a significant investment not only in Watts business but in our customers and consumers businesses as well. Recognizing the need to provide correct infor- mation methodologies and best practices the center eliminates problems and makes our custom- ers and users better at their craft. Watts has long been known as an industry leader he explained but one that lacked a truly mod- ern training facility and this cor- rects that in a spectacular way. As Breault noted the new facility is modern functional and interac- tive. In particular the radiant and tekmar controls show not only correct installation procedures but what if scenarios as well. Also he continued it showcases the complete solution with the vast amount of tubing and connec- tions options Watts Radiant offers. Watts Radiant also has all the components to make installations easier and more professional. Watts Radiant keeps tight quality control over all the systems com- ponents that it manufactures and it also supplies a complete array of tubing to fit its customers needs. We make all the components other radiant providers purchase Breault said. This allows us to control the quality and ensure a complete system approach to radiant heating. This training facil- ity visibly and physically dem- onstrates our commitment to the industry. Spotlight on electric oor warming technologies There are six different mechani- cal rooms at the Learning Center which include the Residential Mechanical Room Residential Hydronic Zone Room Commercial Mechanical Room Hydronic Zone Installation Room Snow Melting Mechanical Room and the Electric Radiant Installation Room. Visitors to the Learning Center will learn about a range of radiant heat- ing products and their installation including SmartTrac a modular panel system designed to sim- plify radiant heating and cooling installations in subfloor wall and ceiling applications and electric WATTS WATER 74 TileLetter May 2016
