THE SMART VALVE SOLUTION
WHAT IS THE SMART VALVE?
Introducing the Smart Valve – an innovative, patented device crafted in the USA. Designed to be installed on the user side of your main water line, this revolutionary device ensures consistent back pressure through your water meter. By maintaining a steady flow, the Smart Valve prevents your meter from inaccurately measuring air pockets, saving you from unnecessary charges.
Unlike conventional meters, which often fail to distinguish between water and air, the Smart Valve rectifies this flaw by addressing overcharges caused by the inclusion of air volume. With the Smart Valve, you can trust that you're only being billed for actual water consumption, not erroneous readings.
The Smart Valve:
- Externally adjustable, removable, requires no upkeep or power, and can be transferred to different locations
- 10-year warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee
- Typical savings of 20% or more (70% of our users see at least this much, 98% see 10% or more at a minimum!)
- Fast return on investment, typically less than 1 year for commercial applications, 2 years for residential (including the cost to be installed!)
- Smart Valve has both NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certifications. See * at the bottom of the page.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SMART VALVE
Air Compression
The Smart Valve air compression benefit works on all single jet, multi-jet, and turbine category positive displacement meters. These make up over 99% of all water meters in use.
The science is based upon Boyle’s Law regarding gas pressure and volume and Le Chatelier’s Principle of Volumetric Dynamics. The Smart Valve is installed in your water line on the side of the meter and as close to it as possible.
The variable spring-loaded plunger maintains a constant pressure on the incoming water supply. This ‘backpressure’ manifests itself into a high-pressure point on the other side of the water meter.
When air reaches this pressure point, the air becomes compressed and no longer maintains its volume. It passes by the water meter in this compressed state until after it passes through the Smart Valve and soon returns to its original uncompressed state.
The Smart Valve does not remove the air. Rather, it compresses it so the water meter can’t measure it.
A common example of entrained gasses is shaking up a soda bottle. The Smart Valve is like the bottle cap keeping the system pressurized. The gasses are in there, but you can’t see them until you remove the cap, and neither can your water meter.
You won’t notice any difference in the water coming into your facility, but you will notice that your water meter is now spinning less.
Pressure and Flow Stabilization
Unlike The Smart Valve, other water meters can be inaccurate during very high, low flow, or pressure surges. These conventional water meters are designed to be accurate within a specific flow range. If the flow exceeds this range, it can ‘over-spin,’ inflating your readings.
For example, when your water is off and then something is opened, it creates an initial surge and then a pressure drop. These surges and drops can also be caused by variability in the municipal water supply.
The Smart Valve proprietary spring-loaded technology acts as a ‘shock absorber’, eliminating these peaks and valleys and creating a smooth, even flow that keeps your meter readings accurate. This spring-loaded technology also protects against damage that may occur from a surge.
Pressure and Flow Stabilization
Other ways in which water meters can be inaccurate are during very high, low flow, or pressure surges. Water meters are designed to be accurate within a specific flow range. If the flow exceeds this range, it can ‘over-spin,’ causing your readings to be inflated.
Reduced Consumption
Any time you insert anything into a water line, it will act as a flow restrictor to some extent.
The Smart Valve creates a minimal amount of flow restriction that will save the user additional money in non-volumetric water uses such as showers, sinks, hoses, and the like. This can also be used to convert an entire facility to a water conservation low-flow profile without the need to install individual flow regulators or replace older fixtures.
Furthermore, almost all water devices are designed for approximately 65 psi water supply. A higher psi can cause excessive water use and leakage at seals and gaskets that often go undetected. In these cases, a pressure reducer is typically used to maintain 60-65 psi in the facility.
Unfortunately, these devices require maintenance and often fail. The Smart Valve acts as a pressure reducer in high-PSI water systems, eliminating the problems caused by excessive water pressure.
Other Benefits
By virtue of its design, the Smart Valve acts as a secondary backflow preventer to protect the municipal water supply. This is becoming more and more important as municipalities seek to better protect our water reserves from contamination.

Reviews
I am writing to tell you about our success with your wonderful product, the Smart Valve. We installed the valve on our main water line at the Doubletree Tarrytown in 2013. The installation was very quick and easy and went without a hitch.
Since the valve was installed, we have seen consistent savings on our monthly water bill of 10% to 15%. This is phenomenal and has helped improve our bottom line. Other than seeing our water bills drop, you would not even know the valve was there.
In addition to the savings, the Smart Valve helped us win the 2014 Westchester County Green Business Award for Water Resource Conservation. We are very proud of this as it recognizes the positive results of our ‘green’ operating philosophy.

We are reducing our line item for water and sewer charges by $50,000 (from $240,000 to $ 190,000), based upon savings realized over past 2 years after installation of your Smart Valve.

We have purchased and installed 12 Smart Valves in our apartment properties over past 6 months. Savings have ranged from 11% to 23%.
