Air in water supply lines is a hidden issue that can cause inflated water meter readings and higher utility bills for consumers and businesses. Air enters the system through leaks, pressure fluctuations, and dissolved gases that form bubbles in water pipes. Traditional water meters cannot distinguish between water and air, leading to inaccurate readings and increased charges. Advanced meters and technologies like FluidLytix’s Wave Valve™ offer a solution by compressing air before it reaches the meter, reducing water bills by up to 30% and lowering water usage by up to 9%, making water management more accurate and cost-effective.
