How a Miami Beach Hotel Reduced Total Water Utility Costs by 20.7%
Part 3 of our 5-part Miami-Dade Commercial Water Cost Series. See what commercial property owners should know about current rates, tiered pricing and what may be coming next.
See how a Miami Beach hotel documented a 20.7% reduction in total water utility costs after implementing the FluidLytix Wave Valve™, and what other high-use hospitality properties can learn from the case.
If you manage a hotel, apartment community, restaurant or commercial property in Miami-Dade, there is another utility-cost increase worth putting on your radar.
Miami-Dade County is proposing a 6% retail water and wastewater rate adjustment for Fiscal Year 2026–27, with a proposed effective date of October 1, 2026
Miami-Dade commercial water and sewer rates can rise sharply as usage increases. See the current 2026 rates, how CCF pricing works, and what hotels, multifamily and other high-use properties should know.
When facility engineers first encounter the Fluidlytix WAVE Valve, one of the most common questions is: “Isn’t this just a pressure-reducing valve?” The answer is no. While the two devices may be installed in similar locations on a water service line, they serve entirely different purposes and operate on different principles.
FluidLytix, founded in 2018, is the only authorized manufacturer of the original patented Wave Valve. Juan Carlos Bocos and Juan Carlos Bocos Vilar Jr. are both:
The WAVE™ Valve: A Patented Breakthrough
The WAVE™ Valve is the original and patented water-flow optimization device designed for commercial, multifamily, hospitality, and retail buildings.
Unlike low-flow devices at fixtures, the WAVE™ Valve works at the building entry point, improving efficiency across the entire water system.
What the WAVE™ Valve Does. Maintains optimal air-in-water balance. Reduces turbulence and pressure loss. Stabilizes compressible flow throughout the system. Improves accuracy at the water meter
For commercial facilities—such as hotels, manufacturing plants, office complexes, and retail centers—accurate water meter readings are essential for controlling costs, maintaining operational efficiency, and ensuring fair billing.
Water is essential for every business, from restaurants and hotels to manufacturing plants and office buildings. Yet, many companies are seeing a troubling trend: rising water costs. As cities expand and infrastructure ages, the price of water continues to climb, putting added pressure on operational budgets.
