Agriculture Runs on Water, and Water Costs Are Rising
From irrigation and processing to production and sanitation, American farms face rising pressure on every gallon consumed.
Water is the most essential input for American farms, yet it is often under-optimized. Greenhouses run irrigation systems nonstop. Grain facilities use water for cleaning and sanitation. Breweries, wineries, and distilleries need precise water control throughout production. Often, billed usage exceeds consumption because meters indiscriminately measure both water and the air in pressurized systems.
Greenhouses
Greenhouse operations run water systems continuously, making them one of the strongest candidates for Smart Valve™ savings.
Commercial greenhouses use water for drip irrigation, misters, humidity control, sanitation, and employee areas—all from the same meter. In large operations, daily and prolonged use lead to small metering inefficiencies that build up over time.
Because greenhouse water consumption is consistent and high-volume, the savings from a 15–35% reduction in metered usage are both predictable and substantial. The Smart Valve™ works with existing irrigation infrastructure; there are no changes to planting systems, drip lines, or climate control equipment.

Grain Processing
The cleaning, separation, and sanitation processes in grain processing facilities consume a significant volume of water.
Grain facilities use water for cleaning, dust control, equipment sanitation, and maintenance. At large sites, higher throughput drives up water use and costs.
Variable demand in processing facilities can pull air into water meters: pressure drops and surges draw air in, which is measured. The Smart Valve™ stabilizes pressure, preventing over-reading.
Breweries, Wineries, and Distilleries
From vessel washing to bottling to tasting room operations, breweries and wineries use water at every stage of production.
Alcohol production heavily relies on water. Barrel and tank cleaning, sanitation between batches, bottling, and hospitality areas all add to water bills, which most see as fixed costs. Yet 15–35% of this is avoidable, with no process changes.
The Smart Valve™ installs on the customer’s side of the water meter and works with every downstream system unchanged. Sanitation standards, cleaning protocols, and production workflows all continue without modification. The only things that change are what the meter records and what you’re billed for.

Qualifies for 15%–35% Water Savings
If your facility has high water usage, a water bill review is the first step in determining whether system-level optimization is appropriate.
There is no obligation beyond the review. The objective is straightforward: identify whether meaningful, measurable water savings can be achieved for your property.
Qualified businesses must spend over $4,000 USD per month on average on water and sewage.
