In this article, we’ll review how water submetering works, the benefits of submetering, and how bluebot makes submetering easier than ever.

Let’s get started.
Sub-metering measures water from specific lines.

Its innovative design is compatible with 35 different pipe types and sizes, and installation is quick and easy.
Â
It accurately measures water usage via transit-time ultrasonic technology, making water information transparent and informative.
Â
Sub-metering gives you an accurate understanding of water usage. You can pass this information along to your tenants, and, in some cases, bill tenants separately for actual water usage if you’re not utilizing a ratio utility billing system for your building or complex.
Â
Most tenants will adjust their water usage, particularly if they’re interested in water conservation or concerned about reducing their bills.
Â
Sub-metering also means any leaks are detected in real time, so issues can be addressed before costly surprise bills arrive. Having daily access to this information can avert disasters, alerting you to pipe breaks, plumbing issues, forgotten running faucets or the need for upgraded and more efficient appliances.
