The Science Behind the Smart Valve™

You’re paying for water you’re not using. Here’s why, and how we fix it.

Most businesses and commercial facilities across Canada share a problem that almost no one talks about: their water meters aren’t measuring water. They’re measuring a mixture of water and air, and every bit of that air gets billed at the same rate as water. It’s not a billing error. It’s simply how unregulated water pressure behaves inside a building’s plumbing system. And it’s costing Canadian businesses and property managers thousands of dollars every year.

The Smart Valve™ is a patented, precision-engineered flow management device that installs on the customer’s side of the water meter. It solves the air measurement problem at the source, regulates pressure surges, and ensures that your meter records only what you actually consume. The result is a measurable, guaranteed reduction in your water bill, typically between 15% and 35%.

This video covers everything: the science behind air entrainment in commercial water meters, how the Smart Valve™ corrects the problem, and what installation looks like in practice. Whether you’re a property manager, building owner, or facilities director, this is the most direct way to understand what this technology does and why it works.

What the Smart Valve™ Does

Five functions. One device.
Compatible with over 99% of all water meters.

The Smart Valve™ addresses multiple inefficiencies in a building’s water system simultaneously. It’s a precision flow management device that corrects the underlying conditions that cause meters to over-read consumption. Here’s what it does:

01 — Eliminates Excess Air Volume

The Smart Valve™ maintains a constant back pressure that prevents excess air from entering your water system. Air that would otherwise be measured and billed as water is eliminated before it reaches the meter.

02 — Regulates Water Pressure

Its proprietary variable spring-loaded technology smooths out the peaks and valleys of water pressure that naturally occur in commercial plumbing systems. This creates a consistent, even flow, which is what accurate metering requires.

03 — Precise Pressure Calibration

Every Smart Valve™ is calibrated to the optimal pressure level for the specific building it’s installed in. This is made possible by the patented, adjustable valve technology, not a one-size-fits-all setting, but a precision adjustment specific to your system.

04 — Secondary Backflow Prevention

The Smart Valve™ acts as a secondary backflow preventer, adding an additional layer of protection for the municipal water supply. This is a compliance and infrastructure benefit that comes with every installation.

05 — Universal Meter Compatibility

The Smart Valve™ works with over 99% of all water meters currently in use across Canada. Whether your building uses an older mechanical meter or a modern digital unit, the technology is compatible.

The Problem and the Fix

Without the Smart Valve™, you pay for air. With it, you pay only for water.

Before

After

With the Smart Valve™ installed on the customer’s side of the meter, city pressure is maintained upstream, back past the meter and into the municipal main. Air bubble volume is suppressed before it reaches the meter. Only actual water consumption is recorded. Your bill reflects reality for the first time.

See If Your Property
Qualifies for 15%–35% Water Savings

If your building has high water usage, a water bill review is the first step in determining whether system-level optimization is a good fit.

There is no obligation to proceed beyond the review. The goal is simple: determine whether meaningful, measurable water savings are achievable for your property.

Qualified businesses must spend over $2,000 CAD per month on average on water and sewage.
