Joseph Watts founded our company in 1874 on the belief that water boilers in textile mills shouldn’t explode. What started with a pressure relief valve in a tiny New England machine shop, has paved the way for today’s high-quality, worldwide water solution technologies. From melting ice on entire city blocks from the ground up, to filtering safe drinking water in isolated, weather disaster zones, you need water and water needs Watts.
We are a global leader of quality water solutions for residential, industrial, municipal and even many commercial settings.
From the engineer, to the foundry or assembly line worker, to the sales representative and service professional, no Watts product would be a Watts product without our people. We know you have a variety of manufacturer choices in this industry. That's why we place such a premium on training our workforce to design, make and service our products at a world-class level. So you know you've made the right choice when you see Watts.
