X4 Smart Valve

Harness the power of multi-carrier LTE-M technology and benefit from meter-neutral remote shutoff valves for retrofits or new deployments.

FENIX is the only technology provider in the water utility industry to offer a meter-neutral remote shutoff valve that can be selectively deployed at remote or high-turnover accounts. Lower operational costs, reduce on-site worker safety concerns, and improve revenue stability by decreasing unauthorized water consumption and providing an effective means for revenue collection.

This remote smart valve is ideal for water utilities of any size, offering a low-cost, secure device for managing customer disconnects and reconnects without an onsite visit. Meter-neutral for retrofits or new installs that even use multiple meter brands within the same system. Extended antenna to accommodate pit and non-pit settings for optimum connectivity.

Value Beyond The Obvious

The X4 Cellular Remote Smart Valve reduces staff field time and drives operational costs down by reducing the number of truck rolls required to turn on/shut off water.

Improve employee safety from unnecessary physical risks and location hazards, such as aggressive animals, environmental factors, high-traffic areas, and more. Eliminate the hazards and emotional toll of your employees engaging with disgruntled residents during shut-offs.

By utilizing the industry’s most advanced remote smart valve, your utility offers a proactive solution for employees and residents.

FENIX valve solutions also increase control over the collection process for utilities. Proactive notices can be sent via text or email from the OMNIA Head End System to help prevent shut off. For those that still require shut off, disconnect command times can be staggered so as not to overwhelm your customer service division when residents call to have their service restored.

A partial flow option creates a path to meet reduced provision if desired for high-risk medical need residents, or humanitarian requirements.

The FENIX remote smart valve also improves management of unauthorized use in areas of frequent turnover, such as college communities, and enables your utility staff to focus on more urgent, higher priority maintenance.
