Apparatus, systems and methods for managing fluids
The present invention relates to apparatuses for managing the flow of fluids, such as, for example, water, through pipes. Specifically and without being bound by theory, the apparatuses of the present invention creates a backward pressure in fluid traversing a pipe, wherein the backward pressure within the pipe provides compression to the fluid effectively compressing entrapped gas bubbles within the fluid, allowing more accurate water meter measurements. Moreover, the apparatuses of the present invention provide backflow prevention. Embodiments include housing that may be disposed in-line with pipe sections having a width or diameter that is the same as or similar to the pipe sections connected thereto. Systems and methods for managing fluids are further provided.
