Question 1

How much can a commercial building save on water?

Accepted Answer

Most office and commercial buildings reduce water and sewer costs by up to 30% (about 20% on average) with the WAVE Valve, across restrooms, cooling-tower make-up water, kitchens, janitorial, and amenity spaces.

Question 2

Will installation disrupt tenants or building operations?

Accepted Answer

No. The valve installs on the building's main supply line, typically in under an hour of water shut-off scheduled after hours, with no construction on tenant floors and no change to water pressure or service.

Question 3

How does this affect NOI and asset value?

Accepted Answer

Water is an operating expense, so reducing it lifts net operating income dollar-for-dollar. At typical cap rates, each $1 of annual NOI improvement translates to roughly $14 to $20 in building value, and the valve usually pays for itself within the first year.

Question 4

Does it work with cooling towers and HVAC make-up water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The WAVE Valve installs on any pressurized commercial water supply line up to 16 inches, including the lines feeding cooling-tower make-up water, often one of the largest water draws in a commercial building.

Question 5

Where can we buy the WAVE Valve?

Accepted Answer

You can buy directly from FluidLytix or through a FluidLytix authorized distributor. Either way you receive a genuine WAVE Valve with factory-backed pricing and engineering support.

Question 6

Who makes the WAVE Valve?

Accepted Answer

FluidLytix is the original inventor, patent holder (US Patent 8,944,098 B1), and U.S. manufacturer of the WAVE Valve, sold direct and through authorized distributors.
