The Water Flow Conditioning Device (FCD)

How It Works

The FCD is installed on the customer side of the waterline immediately after the meter. It helps create more stable measurement conditions by addressing entrained air, pressure fluctuations, reverse flow, and turbulent water movement.

The device is designed to improve how water is measured rather than reduce the facility’s actual water consumption. Normal operations, processes, and downstream water delivery remain unchanged.
