Certified Water Bill Reduction Services

Commercial and industrial facilities can request a free water and sewer bill savings analysis from Water Flow Innovations. The review is completed remotely from uploaded bills, so no initial site visit is required and there is no commitment. Where meter over-reading conditions are likely, you receive a facility-specific savings range, an FCD sizing recommendation based on meter size, pipe size, line pressure and PRV configuration, an ROI estimate, and an installation planning summary.

They identify and correct water meter over-registration. During demand surges generated by your own operations, water speeds up through the meter, pressure inside it drops, dissolved gas comes out of solution and vapor forms, and the meter counts that volume as water. Water Flow Innovations installs a Flow Conditioning Device on the main line immediately after the meter, ahead of the PRV, where its small, controlled back-pressure extends back through the meter and holds pressure up during surges, so far less gas and vapor form and are counted. Because most sewer charges are calculated from the same meter reading, the correction reduces both the consumption charge and the sewer charge without lowering operational water use.

It targets the volume the meter over-counts rather than your real usage. Installed immediately after the meter, 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 inside the meter and are counted as billable water. Pressure loss is under 0.8 psi across all flow conditions, so downstream operations see no practical change. The FCD (Flow Conditioning Device) is powered by AquaFlow Technologies, Inc.

Documented installations typically show up to a 30% reduction in combined water and sewer costs (46% is the highest documented, a rare case). Actual savings depend on meter and pipe configuration, line pressure, billing history, usage profile, and the surge sources present, such as cooling tower makeup, CIP cycles, irrigation cycling, tank fills, wash-down schedules, or high-frequency on-off operations. A free analysis produces your facility-specific range before any commitment.

Savings start on the next full billing cycle after installation. Since the FCD corrects the meter reading rather than requiring operational change, facilities continue normal production, occupancy, irrigation, and process water activity throughout. Post-installation bills provide documented before-and-after evidence for budgeting and reporting.

Installation takes about 1 hour, with the water off for about 1 hour. A licensed plumber or mechanical contractor fits the device on the main water line immediately after the meter, before water enters any facility system, so no production equipment needs to be shut down beyond that brief window. Work is normally scheduled into a planned maintenance window or shift change, and with under 0.8 psi pressure loss, downstream performance sees no practical change afterwards.

Any commercial or industrial facility on a utility service meter. Common candidates include manufacturing plants, food and beverage and dairy processing, breweries and distilleries, hotels and hospitality, multifamily properties, healthcare facilities, schools and universities, car and truck washes, data centers, golf courses, restaurants, laundromats, agricultural and irrigation operations, and municipal or government facilities. Facilities with frequent on-off demand cycling typically show the largest opportunity.

Utility accuracy tests use steady, controlled flow on a test bench, which never recreates the demand surges that cause over-registration. In normal operation, surges speed water up through the meter, pressure inside it drops, and gas and vapor form that the meter counts as water. The meter is usually accurate. It's not your meter. It's your pipes.

Yes. Each site with its own utility service meter is a separate installation opportunity, so savings compound across the portfolio and volume purchase or lease arrangements are available. Before-and-after billing documentation can be aggregated across all facilities for corporate utility benchmarking, capital planning, and accurate ESG or sustainability disclosure.
