Flow Dynamics

• The Smart Valve™ takes long established principles of pressure and fluid dynamics, such as Boyle’s Law regarding gas pressure and volume, and Le Chatelier’s Principle of volumetric dynamics, and applies them in a new and financially rewarding application. We understand the physics of water and have applied that understanding to create a product that saves our customers money and water!
• Water fixtures in your building are typically designed for water pressure of no more that 65 PSI. The water pressure delivered by your municipality is often much higher, resulting in too much water being pushed through your fixtures and potentially leaking through seals and gaskets that are designed for 65 PSI, resulting in increased maintenance and replacement costs.
• City pressure can fluctuate significantly, causing pressure surges and drops which can cause the meter to over-spin, sometimes damaging water systems and equipment. Surges occur anytime you go from a closed system (static) to an open system (dynamic).
• Water meters are designed to be accurate within a specific flow range (GPM). If the flow rate exceeds this range, it can cause the meter to measure inaccurately, charging you for more than the actual gallonage used.
• It’s a simple fact that along with the volume of water passing through your water meter is a volume of air. The volume of that air will vary as the water pressure fluctuates between static and dynamic pressure. The problem is that over 99% of water meters measure by volume, regardless of whether that volume is liquid or gas.
• There are several potential problems inherent in water delivery, usage and metering that can impact your water consumption and water costs. Most of these concerns revolve around water system pressure (PSI), flow rate (GPM), and turbulence.

How The Smart Valve™ Works

• Pressure Reduction - Almost all water devices are designed for approximately 60-65 psi water supply. A higher psi can cause excessive water delivery, as well as undetected leaks at seals and gaskets. A pressure reducer can help this by maintaining a 60-65 psi into the facility. Unfortunately, these devices require maintenance and often fail. The Smart Valve™ is a reliable back-up, as it can achieve a significant pressure reduction in high-PSI water systems, reducing the problems caused by excessive water pressure.
• Reduced Consumption - An effect of creating backpressure upstream is a corresponding pressure drop downstream. The Smart Valve™ can precisely control the amount of pressure drop based on individual system needs. This pressure drop reduces actual water consumption in non-volumetric water uses such as showers, sinks, hoses and the like, adding up to meaningful water bill savings.
• Flow Stabilization - Water meters are designed to be accurate within a specific flow range. If the flow exceeds this range, it can cause the metering to overread consumption. This is especially true during a surge as can happen by variability in the municipal water supply or by moving from a static to dynamic water flow. The Smart Valve’s™ proprietary variably adjusting technology eliminates these peaks and valleys, creating a smooth, even flow that keeps your meter readings more accurate and protects against damage that can occur from a surge.
• Air Compression - The Smart Valve™ constantly adjusts to downstream demand while MAINTAINING as near city (static) pressure UPSTREAM past the water meter. Not allowing pressure to drop upstream prevents air volume from expanding due to the typical pressure drop created by water demand. The air volume passes by the water meter in this compressed state until it passes through the Smart Valve™ and soon returns to its original lower-pressure state. The Smart Valve™ eliminates the excess air volume at the point of water meter measurement, ensuring a lower meter reading but not impacting the pressure of water coming into the facility.
