Water is a precious and scarce resource that sustains people, communities, and economies throughout the world. While vital to good health and well-being, water can also threaten people’s health and safety when not managed properly. At Watts, we believe our products and solutions have an essential role to play in protecting shared water resources and the people who use and rely on them.
For over 150 years, we have developed and designed products, components, and systems that solve the world’s greatest water safety challenges, conserve water, and improve energy efficiency. Since the late 1800s, Watts engineers have brought more than 1,000 patents to market, creating new-to-the-industry products for the safe and sustainable delivery of water. We design our products to benefit users and help their sustainability efforts based on this “triple play” of sustainability: Safety and Regulation, Water Conservation, and Energy Efficiency.

Nexa: The Future Is Intelligent Water Management
Launched in August 2024, Nexa is a cutting-edge digital platform transforming commercial water management. Its advanced sensors integrate with any plumbing system regardless of brand or age to monitor usage, temperature, leaks, and more in real time. Nexa collects data from distributed sensors and Watts equipment like IntelliStation 2, delivering insights to building managers for safer, more efficient, and cost-effective water use. With the broadest range of sensor technologies and an intuitive software platform backed by expert support, Nexa sets a new standard in water intelligence.
LEED Product Selection Tool
Our LEED Product Selection Tool is designed to support green building projects using the latest LEED version, LEED v5, by helping users quickly identify how Watts products can contribute to buildings earning LEED credits. The tool allows project teams to explore applicable products, understand potential credit alignment, and generate project specific outputs that support LEED documentation and certification efforts. By simplifying product selection and documentation workflows, the tool helps encourage more sustainable building practices and supports progress toward LEED certification.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
At Watts, we assess the environmental impact of our products across their full life cycle to support more sustainable outcomes. We have expanded our life cycle assessment (LCA) efforts, completing comprehensive LCAs at our Franklin, NH and BLÜCHER Denmark facilities and using the results to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that improve product transparency. Conducted in accordance with ISO standards and reviewed by third parties, these LCAs help inform product improvements, support green building initiatives, and enable more sustainable decision-making.
BLÜCHER Leading the Charge
BLÜCHER, HygienicPro has revolutionized drainage at Dubai’s Waterfront Market by significantly enhancing water conservation and energy efficiency. The HygienicPro channel, with its casted grating and smooth surface, reduces water usage by 96.5% compared to traditional drains, thanks to its design that prevents dirt buildup and requires less water for cleaning. Complemented by the HygienicClean system, which is tailored to work with HygienicPro, the market achieves substantial water savings and maintains high hygiene standards, aligning with sustainability goals.
Packaging Sustainability
Since 2017, the Watts Global Sourcing Team has been conducting thorough audits of our packaging practices. As a result, we have reduced our use of plastic and chemical protective packaging materials by over 80%. In 2025, more than 90% of all packaging boxes shipped to customers in the Americas were created using a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content, with crates constructed from low-grade, non-consumer wood.
