Hospitality Operations Are Among the Highest Water Users in the United States
Guest rooms, laundry, kitchens, pools, and landscaping all contribute to a hotel's constant water demand.
Hotels and motels operate 24/7, resulting in continuous water use. Each occupied room increases demand through showers, toilets, and sinks. Laundry facilities process hundreds of pounds of linens daily, while kitchens and food service run from morning to night. Pools, spas, and landscaping further increase monthly water bills, which many operators view as an unavoidable expense.
This expense can be reduced. The Smart Valve™ is installed in over 20,000 commercial facilities across North America, including hotels and resorts in the United States. This patented technology consistently reduces metered water consumption by 15–35%, with no upfront cost, no operational disruption, and a performance guarantee for every installation.
Resorts
Resorts combine the water demands of hotels, restaurants, recreation facilities, and landscaping operations, all measured by a single water meter.
Resorts are among the most complex and high-volume water users in hospitality. Guest accommodations, multiple dining outlets, spa and wellness facilities, pools, golf course irrigation, and extensive landscaping all draw from a metered municipal or well supply. For many resorts, water is the second- or third-largest utility expense after electricity and natural gas.
The Smart Valve™ is ideal for resorts because savings increase with higher water use. A 15–35% reduction in metered usage can save large properties tens of thousands of dollars annually, with savings growing as municipal water rates rise nationwide.
The program requires no changes to existing infrastructure, irrigation, or pool systems, and no capital investment. Installation occurs in the mechanical room, and American Water Savings provides ongoing service and annual inspections at no extra cost.
Boutique Hotels
Boutique hotels are often smaller than chain properties, yet their water consumption per guest room can be higher.
Boutique hotels compete on guest experience, often offering amenities that increase water use beyond industry averages, such as deep-soaking tubs, rainfall showers, in-room laundry, high-end spa facilities, and premium restaurants.
The Smart Valve™ allows boutique operators to maintain all amenities. Installed in the mechanical room, it corrects how the water meter records consumption without restricting flow or reducing pressure. All fixtures continue to operate as designed.
With a guaranteed 15–35% reduction in metered consumption and no upfront cost, this program offers boutique operators a simple way to control costs without impacting the guest experience. Annual inspections are included, and the valve is removed at no charge if the savings guarantee is not met.
See If Your Property
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.
