CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES
See how property owners and managers have lowered water costs and improved NOI with The Water Scrooge™.
The Water Scrooge has a service which reduces water consumption through special devices resulting in reduced water bills and energy savings due to the need to heat fewer gallons of water.
It’s a capital cost that lowers expenses thus increasing cash flow, and Net Operating Income. In my business, a higher NOI increases the value of my property….Thus far, the purchase of the valve has proven to be a very good return on the investment”
We have purchased and installed 12 Smart Valves in our apartment properties over past 6 months. Savings have ranged from 11% to 23%. This is particularly valuable since all of our properties separate sewer charges based upon water consumption . We intend to install in our other buildings by the end of the year.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to common questions about our water
conservation solutions, products, installation, and potential savings.
Water saving solutions are devices and practices that cut unnecessary water use and the costs tied to it. The Water Scrooge focuses on four: shower flow control, toilet leak prevention, building flow management and hot-water savings.
Water flow control devices limit or time the water moving through a fixture or pipe. A shower controller caps flow rate, a toilet valve shuts off supply after use, and a smart valve manages flow at the building line.
Four products: Shower Scrooge (caps shower flow), Toilet Scrooge (stops silent toilet leaks), Smart Valve (manages building water flow) and ShowerStop (cuts hot water wasted during warm-up)
For most multifamily buildings, start where waste is highest: toilets and showers. Toilet leak valves stop continuous leaks; shower flow controllers cut daily use; a smart valve adds savings at the main line.
Results depend on fixtures and usage. Customers using 12 Smart Valves reported 11% to 23% savings; individual products save up to 15% to 30% on their fixture. Use the calculator for a property estimate.
When the owner pays water and sewer, lower use goes straight to NOI. Shared Savings and Try for Free offers reduce upfront cost.
Yes. The Water Savings Calculator lets you estimate potential savings using your actual water bills and building details. It is designed to provide an estimate in about 30 seconds.

Yes. Some products can reduce the amount of hot water used or wasted. Shower flow control and ShowerStop® are specifically designed to reduce water and hot-water waste.
Start with the Water Savings Calculator to understand your potential savings. Then choose the product that matches where water is being wasted, such as showers, toilets, building water flow, or hot water wasted while the shower warms up.
