WAVE Valve™ FAQ

How much will we reduce water expenses using the WAVE Valve Intelligent Water Management System?

Most clients see an immediate savings reduction between 10-30% and water usage by 6-9% The results vary by water pressure from the city water supply and size of the installed WAVE Valve.

How do I know if I have air bubbles in the water coming into my facility?

There are many ways air gets into the water supply as it travels though the pipes from your water supplier. Although water providers try to prevent outside air infusion, air is drawn into the water line in many ways such as during common main line breakages, pumps along the water line, small cracks or damaged joint seals and changes in temperature.

Most water meters measure volume passing through the meter so you are billed for the volume of water plus the air. The WAVE Valve Water Efficiency Valve compresses the air in the pipe as it goes through the meter so you are billed only for water, not water plus air bubbles. This results in up to 30% reduction in water costs.

Will there be a noticeable loss in water pressure after the system is installed?
The water coming from the city is often over-pressurized, causing you to use more water than necessary. Lower water pressure is desirable and typically not enough that guests or customers notice. In most instances the pressure drop is between 6 to 8 psi.
