Start with the bill and meter
Collect representative billing periods, identify water and sewer charges, and confirm which charges are eligible for assessment. AWS reports 40,000+ Smart Valve installations in North America and can review the proposed meter location with the site team.
Confirm operating requirements
The device is installed after the meter. It helps keep entrained air compressed through the meter and moderates pressure and flow fluctuations. It does not remove air, treat water, replace a PRV, guarantee unchanged pressure, or confer medical approval.
The site confirms any planned installation shutdown. Later external adjustments need no shutdown. Facility engineering and clinical teams make their own operating and suitability decisions.
Review commercial terms
AWS’s program has an installation charge plus a fixed monthly service or rental fee based on eligible charges. A 15% minimum savings guarantee applies only to qualifying projects under a written performance agreement and is not guaranteed net take-home. Calculators use 22% illustrative gross eligible water/sewer savings before fees.
