The SMART VALVE™ is the patented, NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372, precision engineered MONEY and WATER saving device for your water system. This seemingly simple, yet extremely effective variable flow management device solves a number of problems inherent in water delivery. In this age of drastically rising water costs, increasing water conversion and SUSTAINABILITY efforts, it is more important than ever to be sure you are not using more, or paying more for your water than you should. Your solution is the SMART VALVE™. Proudly made in the USA.
The SMART VALVE™ air compression benefit works on all single jet, multi jet, and turbine category positive displacement meters. These make up over 99% of all water meters in use. The science is based upon Boyle's Las regarding gas pressure and volume and Le Chatelier's Principal of volumetric dynamics. The SMART VALVE™ is installed in your water line on your side of the meter as close to the meter as possible. The variable spring loaded plunger maintains a constant pressure on the oncoming water supply. This 'back pressure' manifests itself into a high pressure point on the other side of the water meter. When aire reaches this pressure point, the air becomes compressed and no longer maintains its volume. It passes by the water meter in this compressed state until after it passes through the SMART VALVE™ and soon returns to its original uncompressed state. The SMART VALVE™ does NOT remove the air, it just compresses it so the water meter can't measure it.
The SMART VALVE's only movement function is the compression of a spring and the associated opening and closing of a gasket-less plunger and housing. Acetron GP is self-lubricating and has strength characteristics close to those of steel. The SMART VALVE comes with a 10-Year Manufacturer's Warranty, however the valve should continue to work reliably for much longer.
The SMART VALVE™ is installed on the USER side of the water meter. Installation must be done in conjunction with all applicable laws, codes and standard plumbing practice in your area.
