ODESSA, FLA.—Hasek Communications, the Odessa, Fla.-based publisher of Green Lodging News, welcomes Doug Borden and Smart Valve to its Green Product & Service Directory. The patented water valve sits on the hotel side of the water meter. It is designed to compress the air in water pipes and improve meter reading accuracy, resulting in cost savings on water, sewer and water heating bills. Spring tension reduces flow surges, helping with over-consumption and over-spinning of the water meter during heavy usage. Over pressure can cause increased consumption of water and additional maintenance costs. Most water devices are designed to work at 65 PSI. City water pressure can be much higher. The valve typically saves 10 percent to 25 percent, depending on water pressure, demand spikes, and the amount of air present in water lines. Call Doug Borden at (732) 618-0501, e-mail dborden@mysmartvalve.com, or go to www.mysmartvalve.com/dborden.
