Get answers about the Wave Valve, installation, savings, and how FluidLytix reduces your facility's water costs by an average of 20%.

General Questions

Most clients experience immediate savings of an average of 20% on their water utility bills. The exact savings depend on factors such as city water pressure and the size of the installed Wave Valve.

For example, a typical commercial facility spending $10,000/month at 20% savings will save $2,000 monthly — or $24,000 annually.

Our patented 3-in-1 technology regulates both air and pressure to eliminate waste and optimize water flow, delivering measurable results from day one.

Savings are even greater when you consider the reduction in sewer costs, which are typically calculated based on water consumption. The combination of reduced water and sewer charges makes FluidLytix one of the fastest ROI improvements for most facilities.

No permit required. Both the Wave Valve and the FloLytix Monitor (coming soon) are installed on your property's side of the meter, making the process completely hassle-free.

  • No permitting delays
  • No municipal inspections required
  • No additional permit fees
  • Faster installation timeline

The installation is performed entirely within your property boundaries, giving you full control over the timing and process.

Installation is quick and minimally disruptive. Typically, water shut-off time is under one hour per valve — often just 30 minutes.

Installation can be scheduled during hours that don't interrupt your business operations. Most facilities experience zero downtime. For deeper vaults, additional time may be required due to safety certifications and specialized equipment needs.

Our certified installers work efficiently to minimize any impact on your daily operations while ensuring proper installation for optimal performance.

Air commonly enters water supplies through:

  • Main line breakages
  • Pumps and pump cavitation
  • Small cracks in pipes
  • Damaged seals and gaskets
  • Temperature changes causing pressure fluctuations

Signs you may have air in your water lines:

  • Sputtering or spitting faucets
  • Inconsistent water pressure
  • Cloudy or milky-looking water that clears after sitting
  • Higher-than-expected water bills
The problem: Most water meters measure both water AND air — meaning you're being billed for air bubbles.

The solution: The Wave Valve compresses the air so you only pay for actual water consumption — resulting in up to 30% savings on water costs.

Wave Valve Questions

The Wave Valve is a patented 3-in-1 water efficiency device that delivers an average of 20% savings on water and sewer costs. It requires no electricity, has no moving parts, and operates maintenance-free for years.

  1. Air Compression: Compresses air bubbles that most meters count as billable water, so you only pay for actual water.
  2. Pressure Regulation: Reduces excessive municipal water pressure to optimal levels, preventing waste and reducing wear on plumbing fixtures.
  3. Flow Optimization: Maintains consistent water flow throughout your facility for better performance.

Installed on your property's side of the water meter, this triple-action approach addresses the root causes of water waste in most commercial facilities.

The Wave Valve is designed to be virtually maintenance-free.

  • No moving parts that require regular servicing
  • No filters to replace
  • No electronics that can fail
  • No ongoing maintenance costs

The device is backed by a 15-year warranty, demonstrating its durability and reliability. Once installed, it continues to deliver water and cost savings year after year.

The Wave Valve comes with an industry-leading 15-year warranty — one of the longest available for any water efficiency product.

This comprehensive warranty reflects our confidence in the quality and durability of our American-made technology. With no moving parts and robust construction, the Wave Valve is built to deliver consistent performance for well over a decade.

Applications & Industries

FluidLytix solutions are ideal for high water-use facilities across multiple industries:

  • Hotels & Hospitality: Laundry, kitchens, guest rooms, pools, and landscaping
  • Restaurants & Food Service: Commercial kitchens, dishwashers, ice machines
  • Manufacturing & Industrial: Process water, cooling systems, cleaning operations
  • Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, medical offices with high sanitation needs
  • Multi-Family Residential: Apartment complexes, condos, senior living facilities
  • Laundromats & Car Washes: High-volume water users with direct cost impact
  • Educational Institutions: Schools, universities, dormitories
  • Commercial Office Buildings: Restrooms, cafeterias, cooling towers

Any facility with significant water consumption can benefit — especially those in areas with high municipal water pressure or older infrastructure prone to air infiltration.

Yes. FluidLytix products are specifically designed for both new construction and retrofit applications. The Wave Valve and FloLytix Monitor (coming soon) can be easily installed in existing buildings without major plumbing modifications.

In fact, older buildings with aging infrastructure often see the greatest benefits, as they typically have:

  • More air infiltration in water lines
  • Higher municipal water pressure than needed
  • Greater potential for leaks
  • Less efficient plumbing fixtures

Installation is performed on your property's side of the water meter, typically taking less than an hour with minimal to no disruption to your operations.
