Overview
Water meters measure volume, and that volume can include entrained air. Pressure variation, trapped gases, and turbulence can distort what the meter sees.
How It Works
A balanced approach to air, water, pressure, and measurable savings
The brief frames idealFlow around stabilising the flow after the meter so sites can reduce waste without relying on a restriction-based approach.
How It Works
How the process works
Assess the site
Start with the main meter, recent bills, and the main pipe size so you can judge whether entrained air, pressure variation, and turbulence are inflating the billed volume.
Install after the meter
The valve is installed on the property owner side of the meter, usually without permit complexity or municipal-side work.
Validate savings
Use before-and-after billing analysis during the trial period to confirm whether the property is delivering meaningful savings.
