Why Healthcare Facilities Are a Strong Fit

High 24/7 water consumption

Hospitals and ambulatory centers run water-intensive operations around the clock — laundry, sterilization, HVAC, restrooms. Baseline usage is high and consistent.

NSF 61 certified

Smart Valve™ is NSF 61 certified — meaning it meets the national standard for materials that contact potable water. Safe for medical-grade water supply lines.

No pressure loss — clinically verified

J. Flanagan confirmed that pressure and flow met all equipment requirements. No operational disruption during or after installation.

Sub-6-month payback

High water bills mean faster payback periods. RWJ Barnabas recovered the full valve cost in under 6 months — and continues saving over $15K annually.
