My first job out of graduate school was as a first year associate in a Wall Street investment bank whose last of the 10 corporate values they printed in their annual report was, “Have fun!” Sadly, I did not.

How that water is pressure controlled and directed is critical to the overall performance of a water circulation system, especially when heated water is involved.
