The Science Behind the Smart Valve™
You're paying for water you aren't using. Here's why, and how we fix it.
A problem shared by most commercial facilities and businesses across the United States goes largely unaddressed: water meters aren’t actually measuring water alone. They’re recording a mixture of water and air, and every cubic inch of that air is billed at exactly the same rate as water. This isn’t a billing mistake, it’s simply how unregulated water pressure behaves inside a building’s plumbing. And it’s quietly costing American businesses and property managers thousands of dollars every single year.
The Smart Valve™ is a patented, precision-engineered flow management device installed on the customer’s side of the water meter. It eliminates the air measurement problem at the source, regulates pressure surges, and ensures your meter records only what you genuinely consume. The outcome is a measurable, guaranteed reduction in your water bill, typically between 15% and 35%.

This video covers it all: the science behind commercial water meters, how the Smart Valve™ corrects the issue, and what the installation process looks like on-site. Whether you’re a property manager, building owner, or facilities director, this is the most direct route to understanding what this technology does and why it delivers results.
What the Smart Valve™ Does
Five functions. One device.
Compatible with over 99% of all water meters.
The Smart Valve™ addresses multiple inefficiencies within a building’s water system at the same time. It’s a precision flow management device that corrects the underlying conditions causing meters to over-record consumption. Here’s exactly what it does:
01 — Eliminates Excess Air Volume
The Smart Valve™ maintains constant back pressure that prevents excess air from entering your water system. Air that would otherwise be measured and charged as water is stopped before it ever reaches the meter.
02 — Regulates Water Pressure
Its proprietary variable spring-loaded technology smooths out the peaks and valleys in water pressure that naturally occur in commercial plumbing systems. The result is a consistent, even flow, the foundation of accurate metering.
03 — Precise Pressure Calibration
Every Smart Valve™ is calibrated to the optimal pressure level for the specific building it serves. This is made possible by patented, adjustable valve technology, not a one-size-fits-all setting, but a precision adjustment tailored to your system.
04 — Secondary Backflow Prevention
The Smart Valve™ functions as a secondary backflow preventer, providing an added layer of protection for the municipal water supply. This compliance and infrastructure benefit comes standard with every installation.
05 — Universal Meter Compatibility
The Smart Valve™ is compatible with over 99% of all water meters currently in use across the United States, whether your building runs an older mechanical meter or a modern digital unit.
The Problem and the Solution
Without the Smart Valve™, you pay for air. With it, you pay only for water.
Before
In a standard commercial water system without a flow management device, pressure fluctuations cause air bubbles to form and travel through the plumbing. When that air passes through the meter, it registers as volume indistinguishable from water. Your bill climbs. Your actual consumption hasn’t changed.
After
With the Smart Valve™ installed on the customer’s side of the meter, city pressure is maintained upstream past the meter and into the municipal main. Air bubble volume is suppressed before reaching the meter. Only actual water consumption is recorded. Your bill finally reflects reality.

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.
