Canada is a continental nation rich in natural resources. From the torrents of power from its rivers to the winds sweeping across its plains, the nation has ample energy to drive economic expansion and spread prosperity for generations. It also has the largest reservoirs of freshwater in the world, with an estimated 20 percent of the global total.
Canada is crisscrossed by myriad rivers and streams that pool into more than two million lakes. The Great Lakes contain approximately six quadrillion gallons of water and cover over 243,000 square kilometers. There are 31,752 lakes larger than three square kilometers shimmering across the landscape.
And yet, for many Canadians and Canadian businesses, water is a limited and increasingly costly resource. Water bills continue to rise, adding to the expense of doing business, landscaping, and simply living.
Canada’s abundance of resources is matched by the talent of its scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators. In the energy sector, they have pioneered renewable technologies that have increased the share of low- or non-emitting forms of energy used by Canadians.
Wind and solar have made dramatic gains, as technological innovation enhances the practicality of generating electricity with clean, natural sources. Other key innovations, such as co-generation, have reduced greenhouse gas emissions in regions where legacy fuels are extracted, such as the rich oil sands of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
When it comes to water, one of the most significant inventions is also the smallest. Smart Valve™ reduces costs while delivering the added benefits of conservation, sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Smart Valve™ adds a new dimension of efficiency to water systems and antiquated infrastructure. It’s simple, intuitive and easy to install. Distributed by Canadian Water Savings, it is in use at 20,000 locations across North America. These customers range from residential users to commercial, office and retail properties. They include brewers and golf courses, condominiums and hotels. Many report utility bill savings of 15 to 35 percent.
The science behind Smart Valve™ is simple: Whenever water flows through any faucet, air is mixed with the water. This happens naturally as a result of the turbulence created when water accelerates through pipes. This air adds volume to what is measured by water meters, driving up costs.
Smart Valve™ removes air from the water system. It does this by creating back pressure that reduces turbulence, maintaining an even flow through the pipes. Without the air bubbles in the water, there’s less total volume for a water meter to measure.
The device doesn’t require a plumber to install it, or a water systems engineer to maintain it. There’s no complex manual , no special tools, and no interruption in water flow through the pipes. Across the board, no hassle.
Quietly efficient, it works hard to solve Canada’s supply paradox — lowering costs to reflect the abundance that surrounds us, from the freshwater locked away in glaciers far to the north to the deep Great Lakes reservoirs in the south.
