How do Machinery Sliders differ from traditional dollies and skates?

By eliminating wheels entirely, Machinery Sliders remove the wheel load-points that concentrate a machine's weight onto tiny contact patches — the cause of most floor and tile damage. This also lowers the machine's center of gravity and drops the ride height to as little as 3/8"–1", compared to 4"–6" or more for wheeled dollies and skates.

What are the three most important things Machinery Sliders do?

Three things stand out: they increase overhead clearance by reducing the height of the machine being moved, they greatly lower the center of gravity of tall, heavy machinery to virtually eliminate tip-over risk, and they save time on the move itself because they're lightweight, easy, and safe to use.

What are the three types of Machinery Sliders and how do they work?

There's the pointed single-directional slider, where the machine base sits behind the top bumper while a forklift pulls or pushes the machine in the direction of the point. There's the multi-directional slider with a 1" hole, which sits under a leveling pad frame and is pinned in place with a 1" bolt or pin. And there's the multi-directional slider with a 4" hole, made so machinery with leveling pads fits right in without removing the pad.

How long has Machinery Sliders been used in the industry?

Machinery Sliders have been reducing the high risk of machinery moving and rigging since 2014.

How much weight can Machinery Sliders carry?

Each Machinery Slider carries approximately 10 tons. For heavier machinery, additional sliders can be added underneath the load to increase total capacity.

Will I want to go back to traditional dollies and skates after using Machinery Sliders?

It's a fact that once a rigger or machinery mover uses Machinery Sliders, they typically don't go back to traditional dollies or skates unless the specific application warrants it.

What's the bottom-line benefit of using Machinery Sliders?

Machinery Sliders save time, reduce the risk of machinery damage and human accidents, and make the machinery or equipment move easier overall.

It’s Not Your Meter. It’s Your Pipes.

How your pipes distort meter readings, and how the FCD fixes it

During high-demand periods, your building’s piping distorts the flow moving through your water meter, and that distortion causes over-registration on both your water and sewer bills. The FCD installs immediately after your meter and holds pressure up through it during demand surges, so your meter records closer to what your building actually receives. Typically up to 30% reduction in water and sewer costs

No reduction in usage · Under 0.8 psi pressure loss · 90% of customers reach ROI in under 12 months

Your Meter Is Working. The Flow Through It Isn’t.

Water meters are calibrated for smooth, steady flow. In real buildings, valves opening, tank fills, CIP cycles, and irrigation send sudden demand surges through the meter. Pressure inside the meter drops, dissolved gas comes out of solution and vapor forms, and the meter counts that volume as water. Correct the conditions at the meter and you correct the reading, without changing how much water you use.

Why your bill reads high:

Four things happening in your pipes cause your meter to over-register.

The fix: the FCD creates a small, controlled back-pressure that extends back through the meter, holding pressure up during demand surges so far less gas and vapor form and are counted. Nothing downstream of the meter changes.

1. Demand Surges



Valves opening, pumps starting, and many fixtures running at once send sudden surges of water through the meter, many times a day.

2. Pressure Drops Inside the Meter



During a surge, water speeds up through the meter and pressure inside it drops. Sudden demand also sends brief low-pressure waves back through the line.

3. Gas and Vapor Counted as Water



As pressure drops, dissolved gas comes out of solution and vapor forms. Gas and vapor take up far more space than the water they came from, and the meter measures volume, so it counts that extra volume as water.

4. Billed Twice



Most sewer charges are calculated from the same meter reading, so every over-counted gallon is billed as water and again as sewer.

Installation

Installation takes about an hour, with the water off for about an hour; larger industrial installations may take longer.

Common Questions — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about high water bills, meter over-registration, and the FCD.

Why is my commercial water bill so high?

Often because the meter records more than your building receives. During high-demand surges, water speeds up through the meter, pressure inside it drops, dissolved gas comes out of solution, and vapor forms. The meter counts that volume as water, and your utility bills it twice: once for water and again for sewer. It’s not your meter. It’s your pipes.

What is the Flow Conditioning Device (FCD)?

The FCD is a 316L stainless steel device installed immediately after your water meter. It creates a small, controlled back-pressure that extends back through the meter, holding pressure up during demand surges so far less gas and vapor form and are counted as water. It corrects what the meter records; it doesn’t reduce the water your building uses.

How much can my building save?

Documented installations show up to a 30% reduction in water and sewer costs, and the highest documented result is 46%. Savings show up on the next full billing cycle. Results depend on your building’s flow pattern, meter, and pressure, so our free calculators model your building hour by hour.

Does the FCD reduce water pressure?

Pressure loss across the FCD is under 0.8 psi across all flow conditions, so occupants and equipment see no practical difference.

Where is the FCD installed, and how long does it take?

The FCD installs on your side of the meter, immediately after it and before your PRV and backflow preventer. Installation typically takes about an hour, and the meter itself is not modified or adjusted. Your licensed plumber or mechanical contractor confirms any local code or permit requirements.

What if it doesn't work for our building?

Water Flow Innovations offers a 6-month money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Installation is non-refundable. The FCD also carries a lifetime transferable warranty (a transfer fee applies).
