Certified Automatic Flow Devices

An Automatic Flow Device, or Flow Conditioning Device, is installed on the main water line after the meter and upstream of all facility systems to create stable laminar flow. It addresses the air entrainment, bubbles, pressure cycling, and turbulence that cause meters to count air as billable volume alongside actual water. The result is a meter reading that reflects what your facility actually received, and lower water and sewer charges, without reducing the water available to any downstream process.

It removes the conditions that make a meter over-register, rather than restricting what you use. The proprietary four-component design handles air and gas removal, pressure regulation, check valve function, and turbulence reduction in one 316L stainless steel body. Because the meter sees a clean, uniform stream instead of an air-and-water mixture, billed consumption drops while downstream pressure, flow rate, and process performance stay exactly as they were.

Water Flow Innovation documents average water and sewer bill reductions of 5-30%, with the highest documented single result at 46%. Savings track the facility water-use profile, meter and pipe configuration, line pressure, and the turbulence sources present, such as cooling tower makeup, irrigation cycling, CIP systems, tank fills, wash-down schedules, or frequent on-off operations. A free bill review estimates a facility-specific range before any purchase or lease decision.

Savings typically appear on the very next water and sewer billing cycle. There is no waiting period, behavior change, or ramp-up time, because the device begins correcting flow conditions immediately on installation. Post-installation billing data provides documented before-and-after evidence that facilities use for operating budgets, capital requests, ESG and sustainability reporting, and LEED-related initiatives.

Installation takes approximately one hour, with water off for that one hour only, regardless of pipe size or meter type. A licensed plumber or mechanical contractor fits the custom-built device after the meter. Negligible pressure loss is a fundamental design characteristic, so downstream operations and production performance are unaffected. Installations are routinely scheduled into a planned maintenance window or shift change at commercial, industrial, municipal, healthcare, hospitality, and multifamily facilities.

Yes. The Flow Conditioning Device is custom-built and works with any pipe size and any meter type, so no meter replacement or plumbing redesign is required. Documented installations span more than 60 industry categories, including food and beverage plants, breweries and distilleries, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, hotels and hospitality, multifamily properties, hospitals, schools, data centers, car and truck washes, golf courses, agricultural operations, and municipal facilities on metered connections.

Yes, and it carries no commitment. The review examines recent water and sewer bills, facility water-use patterns, meter size, pipe size, line pressure, PRV configuration, and the likely sources of over-reading, and is completed remotely from uploaded bills. An online calculator provides an immediate estimate without requiring contact information. On-site visits are available where needed but are billable under standard company policy.

The device carries a 6-month money-back guarantee with no questions asked on the purchase price; installation cost is non-refundable. If metered consumption does not measurably fall within six months, the device can be returned. It also carries a lifetime transferable warranty against manufacturing defects, which transfers with the property if the facility changes ownership, subject to a transfer fee. The FCD is certified to IAPMO, NSF, ANSI, CAN 61, KIWA, GMP, and SQF standards.

Most industrial water meters simply register whatever passes through them, and they cannot distinguish entrained air and gas from water. Any demand event that introduces bubbles or turbulence therefore adds phantom volume to the reading, which is billed as though it were water your facility actually received.

No. A pressure reducing valve lowers downstream pressure and a restrictor limits how much water can pass, both of which change what your operation receives. The FCD does neither. It corrects the accuracy of measurement at the meter while delivering the same water, at the same pressure, to the same equipment; negligible pressure loss is a fundamental design characteristic. It is also not a filter, softener, or treatment device and does not alter water composition in any way.
