Smart Water Flow Control Valve

Control Building Water Flow and Reduce Avoidable Water Costs

The Water Scrooge™ Smart Valve is designed to reduce air in the water flow that may be measured by your water meter. This helps reduce the volume recorded by the meter and can lower your monthly water costs.

When water moves through your building’s plumbing system, air can also be present in the water supply. Some water meters may record this air along with the water passing through the meter. This means part of the volume shown in your water bill may not always be water alone.

For multifamily and commercial properties with high water use, even a small difference in the recorded volume can add to monthly water costs. The Water Scrooge™ Smart Valve is designed to help reduce the volume of air that may be measured, helping lower the amount recorded by the meter and reduce avoidable water costs.

Choose the Right Valve for Your Building

Smart Valves are available for different pipe sizes and connection types. Smaller water lines can use threaded valves, while larger lines use flanged options. Choosing the right size helps the valve work properly with your existing water system.

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.”
