Markwik 21+

As the trusted partner of many NHS trusts, our latest product Markwik 21+ has been developed to meet the very challenging and changing needs of hospitals with particular focus on their fight against infection from the constant threat of harmful biofilm build up.

Infection control

Infection control professionals know that hygiene depends on rigour, and over the years we have developed features which allow hospitals to develop cleaning regimes best suited to their facility and localised conditions in a timely and cost effective way whilst providing safe hand washing for staff and patients.

Cleaning convenience

Demount or dismantle for complete disinfection control

All new Markwik 21+ mixers can be fully dismantled for disinfection, with internal components designed to withstand 80°C*,and detachable outlets are designed to withstand 135°C for autoclaving.

* Maximum inlet supply temperature during use is 65 degrees


The Markwik 21+ detachable spout allows autoclave cleaning to prevent biofilm attachment and help reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

Cleaning convenience

Minimal dead-legs

By mixing water closer to the point of discharge, MARKWIK 21+’s integral thermostat minimises ‘dead leg’ areas of warm water where bacteria can grow. This is compliant with HTM 04-01 Part A, which states that thermostatic mixing devices should be fitted directly to the outlet or integral with it.

Minimal dead-legs

Thermal cleanse

MARKWIK 21+ mixers are designed for thermal disinfection and are equipped with a built-in thermal cleansing feature. This allows the maximum blend temperature stop to be overridden, using the hot water supply temperature in the system, for the most effective cleanse process possible.

Intelligent cleaning

Auto-flush technology ensures that MARKWIK 21+ mixers that are paired with electronic time-flow sensor controls are flushed through with water at least every 24 hours, helping to prevent the formation of bacteria.

Intelligent cleaning

Hydropurge

The Hydropurge system in MARKWIK 21+ mixers flushes any debris and waste that gets into the system during installation, reducing the high risk of infection when new facilities are opened. The same port can be used for inlet water sampling.

Why thermostats are important

There has been a lot of discussion on the pros and cons of thermostatic mixers in hospitals. Those supporting thermostatic taps point to the reason why they were originally brought into hospitals – the need to avoid scalding and the need to have constant safe water to ensure better hand washing.

Those who question whether they are specified too often argue they are not needed in all areas, are expensive to purchase and maintain and can encourage bacteria growth.

We aim to clarify best practice and demonstrate the new testing procedure which is quicker and less onerous than previously.

Why thermostats are important

Antimicrobial outlets

Traditional outlets have flow straighteners that can become contaminated overtime and provide a haven for harmful bacteria. 

MARKWIK 21+ mixers feature BioGuard a patent-pending copper lined outlet that helps prevent Biofilm attachment and reduces the risk of pseudomonas infection.
