Don't Pay For Air In Your Water

How It Works
1.Our SMART VALVE™, installed on the customer's side of the meter, solves this turbulent water or air bubbles problem by maintaining city pressure from the Smart Valve™ back UPSTREAM, past the meter into the city's main.

2. SMART VALVE™ reduces the volume of the air bubbles by not letting system pressure drop as it did before until after it is downstream of the valve. You no longer pay for "AIR", just water.

Water Savings FAQ
-
Q: What is the primary function of the Smart Valve & how does it work?A: Air Compression: The Smart Valve™ maintains city (static) pressure upstream past the water meter to prevent air volume expansion during water usage, ensuring an accurate meter reading. Flow Stabilization: The Smart Valve™ uses its variable adjusting technology to create a smooth, even flow, leading to more accurate meter readings and to protect against damage from pressure surges. Reduced Consumption: The Smart Valve™ creates a backpressure upstream resulting in a downstream pressure drop which reduces actual water consumption in non-volumetric uses, leading to water bill savings. Pressure Reduction: The Smart Valve™ achieves a significant pressure reduction in high-PSI water systems, reducing problems caused by excessive water pressure. Secondary Back Flow Prevention: The Smart Valve™ also acts as a secondary backflow preventer to protect the municipal water supply from contamination.

Q: How does the Smart Valve provide savings on water?Elimination of Air Volume Charging: By maintaining pressure and compressing air before the meter, the Smart Valve™ ensures that the meter only measures the actual water volume, and not the air mixed in, avoiding overcharges. Reduction in Actual Water Consumption: By controlling the amount of pressure drop downstream, the Smart Valve™ reduces the flow in non-volumetric water uses like showers and sinks, which leads to lower water consumption and, in turn, savings on water bills. Protection from Pressure Surges: The Smart Valve™ smoothens the water flow, eliminating peaks and valleys, which not only leads to accurate meter readings but also prevents damage to the plumbing system from pressure surges that could cause leaks and waste. Reducing Excessive Water Pressure: By reducing high water pressure, the Smart Valve™ minimizes over-consumption and the associated costs, and also reduces the wear and tear on fixtures, seals, and gaskets, saving on maintenance and replacement costs. Conservation of Water: The Smart Valve™ helps in water conservation, especially in facilities without pressure reducers or flow regulators, making it a more sustainable choice and potentially reducing sewer charges.
-
Q: How is the Smart Valve Installed?One-time Installation: The Smart Valve™ is externally adjustable and is installed once on the outside of the water line. It requires turning off the water for 90 minutes. Calibration: Once installed and the water is turned back on, the Smart Valve™ is calibrated to the perfect setting for the system. Calibration is easy and can be done with the strength of a fingertip.
-
Q: Is the Smart Valve compatible with my current system?Adaptable Design: The Smart Valve™ is designed to be compatible with a wide range of systems as it can be adjusted to various effect settings and can adapt to changes in system pressure or flow rate. It is compatible with 99% of all water meters in North America. Various Sizes and Fittings: The Smart Valve™ comes in different sizes and fittings (double flanged or female threaded) to accommodate different pipe dimensions, ensuring compatibility with most water systems.
-
Q: What kind of maintenance does the Smart Valve™ require?No Maintenance Required: The Smart Valve™ is designed to work 24/7/365 without the need for maintenance, making it a “set-it-and-forget-it” solution. Durable and Reliable: Made with high-quality materials and precision manufacturing, the Smart Valve™ is built to last, further reducing the need for maintenance.
-
Q: What is the lifespan of the Smart Valve?Durable Construction: The Smart Valve™ is made with high-quality materials, ensuring a long lifespan, and is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. Please note: Repair, Replace and Maintenance are included in Guaranteed Water Savings Program from Canadian Water Savings Inc.
-
Q: Are there any safety features in the Smart Valve that can prevent leaks or malfunctions?Prevents Pressure Surges: The Smart Valve™ smoothens water flow and prevents pressure surges that can cause leaks and damage to the plumbing system. Secondary Backflow Preventer: The Smart Valve™ also serves as a secondary backflow preventer, protecting the municipal water supply and your system from potential contamination.
-
Q: Can the Smart Valve handle high pressure and flow rates?High Pressure Handling: The Smart Valve™ can reduce high water pressure in systems without compromising performance. Accommodates High Flow Rates: The Smart Valve™ design allows it to work efficiently even in systems with high flow rates.
-
Q: What is the Valve made of?Made from Acetron GP: The Smart Valve™ is constructed using Acetron GP, a material known for its strength and durability, making it ideal for long-term performance in various water systems. Certified Construction: With its Acetron GP construction, the Smart Valve™ also holds NSF 61 and NSF 372 certifications, ensuring compliance with material safety and performance standards.
-
Q: Where does the air go?Compression and Passage: The Smart Valve™ compresses the air mixed with water and allows it to pass through the water meter in a compressed state. This ensures the meter measures the actual water volume and not the volume of air. Return to Original State: After passing through the Smart Valve™, the air returns to its original lower pressure state downstream, without affecting the water pressure entering the facility.
-
Q: Does the installation of the Smart Valve require any major changes to my existing water system?No Major Changes Required: The Smart Valve™ is designed for easy external installation on the existing water line and does not require any major changes to the existing piping system. Adaptable Fittings: With various sizes and fittings available, the Smart Valve™ can be installed in different types of piping systems, making it adaptable while minimizing the need for alterations to the existing infrastructure.
-
Q: How is the Smart Valve powered? Does it require batteries or external power?No External Power Required: The Smart Valve™ operates using the flow and pressure of the water in the system and does not require batteries or a connection to the mains for power. Self-Operating: It is a mechanical device that automatically adjusts to the water flow and pressure, making it self-operating without the need for any external power source.
-
Q: Can the valve be controlled and adjusted manually?Externally Adjustable: The Smart Valve™ can be manually adjusted externally after installation to calibrate it to the perfect setting for your system. Automatic Adjustments: Once calibrated, the Smart Valve™ automatically adjusts to changes in water flow and pressure, ensuring optimal performance without the need for constant manual intervention.
-
Q: Is there any risk that the Smart Valve can cause damage to my water system?Designed for Safety: The Smart Valve™ is designed with safety in mind and aims to prevent damage to existing infrastructure. Acts as a Protective Measure: By stabilizing flow, reducing pressure surges, and controlling water consumption, the Smart Valve™ actually helps protect the existing infrastructure and minimize the risk of damage that could be caused by excessive pressure or unpredictable water flow.
