Frequently Asked Questions
What is a water submeter?
A water submeter is a device used to measure water consumption in individual units within a larger multi-tenant property. It helps monitor and bill water usage accurately, promote fair charges, and encourage conservation by tracking each tenant or unit’s water consumption.
How much does a submetering solution cost?
The cost of a submetering solution can vary widely. Factors influencing the price include the type of meter, technology used, installation costs and value-added services provided. Advanced models with connected IoT technology or remote reading features provide more value over the deployment lifecycle.
How are submetering solutions used?
Submetering solutions are used to track water usage at a more granular level than main utility meters. They are invaluable in multi-tenant buildings for billing individual units based on actual consumption, promoting fair usage, and identifying inefficiencies or leaks within specific areas.
Can we install a submeter in a home?
Submetering solutions target multi-family homes manufactured home communities, Condominiums and multi-tenant commercial applications what otherwise are not equipped with individual master water meters. They allow for individual monitoring of water usage, making it easier to bill tenants based on their actual consumption and encouraging responsible water use.
How are submetered bills calculated?
To calculate a submeter bill, record the readings at the beginning and end of the billing period. Subtract the initial reading from the final reading to find the volume of water used. Multiply this volume by the water rate per unit to determine the total charge for the period. Don’t forget to include the costs for waste water as well since this is typically tied to the water consumed.
Who can fit a water submeter?
For most solutions, a qualified or certified plumber or a technician is required to install a submeter. Solutions like Dune do not require this cost since it does not interface with the water or require any pipe cutting or water shut off. It’s important to ensure that the installer is certified and knowledgeable about local regulations, building codes and the water submetering solution to guarantee proper installation and compliance.
