Abnormal use flagged
Dune Labs is a U.S. water submetering company. Our clamp-on submeters fit existing pipes without cutting or shutoffs and read remotely, so owners can bill residents for actual use and recover water costs.
Innovative AI Water Submetering Solutions
Dune Labs’ clamp-on, IoT-enabled submeters install without cutting pipes or disruptive plumbing work, and read automatically and remotely, with no physical inspections.
Unit-level measurement lets owners recover water costs through usage-based billing instead of absorbing them or relying on RUBS. Built-in AI learns how water is used across your property and flags abnormal consumption, including leaks.
Better water cost recovery and early detection of abnormal usage reduce operating expenses and improve Net Operating Income (NOI). A stronger NOI can, in turn, support higher property values and stronger long-term asset performance.
Cost recovery→Lower OpEx→Higher NOI→Property value

- 20%+ less waste · ~$2K/mo value
“Dune reduced tenant water waste by more than 20% and is generating around $2,000 a month in value on my 84-door property. I’m proud to have been an early Dune adopter.”
- 900+ gallons/day leak found
“Dune quickly identified leaking toilets across my 120-unit property. One of those leaks was wasting more than 900 gallons of water every day. Without that level of visibility, we could have continued paying for water we weren’t actually using.”
“The innovative Dune solution makes water submetering so simple and hassle-free for mobile home communities. It’s a game-changer in our space.”

Water Submetering Solutions FAQs
What are water submetering solutions?
Water submetering solutions measure water consumption for an individual unit or area within larger multi-tenant applications, which often only have master water meters for the entire property. This visibility provides owners, managers, and HOAs the ability to fairly bill residents for their actual water usage and even flag abnormal usage such as leaks or faulty water-use appliances.
How do water submetering services help property owners reduce costs?
For starters, submetering enables property owners to fairly and fully recapture water usage across their multi-tenant applications. Additionally, when tenants /residents are accountable for their actual usage, they typically use less water. There are many studies that show water submetering alone drives a 15% reduction in usage. Lower usage drives lower bills while propelling conservation. (Source: EPA (opens in a new tab))
Does water submetering require cutting pipes or shutting off water?
Traditional, in-line submeter installation typically involves plumbing modifications, pipe cutting, and water shut-offs. Dune Labs’ “clamp-on” technology is designed to install without cutting pipes or interrupting water service.
What does Dune Labs do?
Dune Labs is a water submetering company that provides “IoT + AI-based” smart water submeters. These clamp-on submeters collect unit-level water-use data, flexible integrated billing, and offer intelligent analytics to identify abnormal consumption and potential leaks to help reduce waste.
What types of properties can use Dune Labs' water submetering solutions?
Dune Labs’ water submetering services are designed for multifamily properties, manufactured home communities, condominiums, HOAs, commercial buildings, and new developments. Across these property types, our water submeters provide “unit-level” consumption data.
Does it work on all types of pipes?
It works on most standard pipe types and sizes, including CPVC, PEX, PVC, and straight, rigid copper, in ½”, ¾”, and 1″ sizes.
