Why pay for air?

Your city water line delivers water — mixed with compressed air. Your meter charges you for both. The CU Water Smart Valve stops it, guaranteed.

Where It Goes

Installed on the customer side of the meter.

The CU Water Smart Valve sits between the water meter and the building. By maintaining city pressure upstream past the meter, it eliminates the air pockets your meter has been billing you for.

Water + Air
Regulated Flow
CU Valve Active
  1. 01
    Water enters from the city — with air.

    Municipal pressure fluctuations pull compressed air through the line ahead of your meter.

  2. 02
    The meter reads air as water.

    Standard meters can't tell the difference. That air-in-water volume shows up on your bill every month.

  3. 03
    CU Water holds pressure back upstream.

    The valve maintains city pressure past the meter, into the city's main — collapsing air volume before it's measured.

  4. 04
    You only pay for water.

    Downstream flow is regulated, air-free, and stable. Guaranteed 15% reduction on your water bill.

From compression → meter → regulated flow.

Why It Works

Six reasons the CU Water valve pays for itself.

Guaranteed 15% savings

Air Compression

Maintains a constant back pressure that eliminates the volume of air moving through your water line.

Pressure & Flow Stabilization

CU Water's variable spring-loaded technology eliminates peaks and valleys, creating smooth, even flow so meter readings stay accurate.

Reduced Consumption

We precisely control the amount of pressure your system actually needs — no more, no less.

Secondary Backflow Preventer

The CU Water valve acts as a secondary backflow preventer, protecting the municipal water supply.

99%+ Compatibility

Works with over 99% of all commercial water meters currently in use across Texas.

Certified Install Network

Licensed plumbing partners handle install and commissioning. One point of contact from audit to savings.

Built for Property Owners
