The Smart-Valve how it Works, Let's Watch
The Smart-Valve how it Works, Let's Talk
Air Compression
The Smart Valve constantly adjusts to downstream demand, while MAINTAINING as near city (static) pressure UPSTREAM past the water meter. By not allowing pressure to drop upstream, it prevents air volume from expanding due to the typical pressure drop created by water demand. The volume of air passes by the water meter in this compressed state until after it passes through the
Smart Valve and soon returns to its original lower pressure state. The Smart Valve eliminates the excess volume of air at the point of water meter measurement, ensuring a lower meter reading but not impacting the pressure of water coming into the facility.
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.
Pressure Reduction
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.
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.
