Optimizing Water distribution with BT-Maric constant flow valves

Water Authorities

Water Authorities have been relying on BT-Maric Flow Control valves for many years as a standard practice. These valves are especially useful for commercial connections, areas with unusually high water pressure, and regions where infrastructure is insufficient to provide an unlimited water supply to everyone. BT-Maric constant flow valves are typically installed directly next to the water meter.

Key Advantages for Water Authorities

1. Efficient Flow Control

BT-Maric Flow Control valves help regulate water flow to ensure efficient and sustainable distribution, reducing wastage.

2. Enhanced Revenue Potential

By optimizing the use of existing infrastructure, these valves enable Water Authorities to maximize revenue while minimizing costs.

3. Reduced Infrastructure Costs

These valves can reduce the need for costly infrastructure expansion by ensuring better management of water supply over vast areas.

Key Applications for Water Authorities

BT-Maric Flow Control valves offer versatile solutions for a range of water distribution challenges. These include:

• • Flow Control Instead of Water Meters

    Automatically manage water flow, eliminating the need for additional water meters in certain cases.

  • Flow Limiting to Extend Water Meter Life

    Reducing excessive flow extends the operational lifespan of water meters.

  • Optimizing Water Distribution Over Long Distances

    Ensures consistent pressure and flow across large geographical areas.

  • Managing Overdue Payments

    Restricting water flow to customers with overdue bills to encourage timely payment.

  • Maintaining Main Pressure

    Ensures that pressure levels in the water main stay within desired parameters, even in areas of high demand.

  • Protecting and Optimising Installations

    Maintaining or limiting flow to protect delicate filter membranes and help catch the maximum contamination.

    Ensuring chlorine dosing concentration is maintained, by accurately controlling the flow of water through measuring equipment.

    Limiting flow through ultraviolet sterilisers to ensure 100% bacteria kill.

Specialized Solutions for Water Authorities

BT-Maric Flow Control valves are designed for use in challenging environments and offer tailored solutions for specific needs:

• Durable Valve Materials and Control Systems: The valves are made from robust materials, providing long-lasting performance in difficult environmental conditions.
• Advanced Control Rubber Joints: These help maintain consistent water flow, even under pressure fluctuations, ensuring reliability and efficiency.

Why Choose BT-Maric Flow Control Valves For Water Authorities?

In water supply networks, consistent flow, infrastructure protection, and efficient distribution are not just important—they’re essential. BT-Maric Flow Control Valves are purpose-built for utility applications, providing precise, tamper-proof flow regulation without the need for electrical power, complex control systems, or ongoing maintenance.

These valves deliver a constant, pre-set flow rate regardless of pressure variations, ensuring reliable water distribution across both urban and remote areas. Whether managing demand in high-pressure zones or balancing supply at the edge of long mains, BT-Maric valves help maintain steady service to every customer.

In regions where infrastructure is under strain or capacity is limited, BT-Maric valves allow utilities to control consumption without compromising fairness or reliability. By restricting flow at the meter, they ensure equitable supply during peak demand and reduce the need for costly upgrades to pumps or pipelines.

BT-Maric valves also support the protection of critical assets within the network. By controlling flow to delicate components like membranes, chlorination units, or UV disinfection systems, they help extend equipment lifespan and maintain treatment effectiveness—ensuring water quality and compliance with regulatory standards.

With no moving parts, BT-Maric valves are highly durable and maintenance-free—making them ideal for long-term utility use, especially in locations where access is difficult or infrequent. Their tamper-proof design preserves system integrity and prevents unauthorized adjustment.

From managing overdue accounts and extending water meter life to maintaining system pressure and improving dosing accuracy, BT-Maric Flow Control Valves offer a simple, reliable solution to complex distribution challenges.

Proven in the field and trusted by water authorities worldwide, BT-Maric Flow Control Valves support efficient, equitable, and sustainable water management—delivering reliable performance for years to come.
