Common questions about Smart Valve technology compared to alternatives.
Why is Smart Valve more effective than standard pressure regulators?
Standard pressure regulators only manage water pressure, whereas Smart Valve addresses both pressure management and air elimination. Traditional regulators can't distinguish between water and air, so you continue to pay for air passing through your meter. Smart Valve's patented technology specifically targets this issue, resulting in significantly higher water savings.
Is the higher initial cost of Smart Valve worth it?
While Smart Valve has a higher upfront cost than basic alternatives, its superior water savings typically result in much faster return on investment—often 2-3 times faster than standard solutions. Additionally, Smart Valve requires no maintenance, further reducing your total cost of ownership over the product's lifetime.
Can I use Smart Valve with my existing plumbing system?
Yes, Smart Valve is designed to integrate with standard plumbing configurations and is available in sizes from 3/4" to 12" to accommodate virtually any commercial, residential, or industrial application. Installation is straightforward and typically completed in 2-4 hours with minimal disruption to water service.
