The problem

One water bill. No idea where it went.

If your property runs on a master meter, you know exactly what last month's water bill was. You don't know how much of it was Unit 101 versus Unit 102, or which unit has a toilet that's been running for three days.

So the owner either eats the bill as an operating expense or splits it by a formula tenants don't trust. Either way, the people using the most water have no reason to use less.

You can see that the property used water. You can't see where.

How It Works

From the pipe to the tenant ledger in three steps.

SimpleSUB measures each unit and builds the bills. One click posts them to Rent Manager. Nobody retypes a charge.

Clamp-on meter

Submeter clamps on in 5 minutes

Two zip-ties on the outside of the existing pipe. No cutting, no water shutoff, no plumber. Press the button and it connects over cellular on its own, so there's no Wi-Fi, gateway or IT work.

Split your bill by unit-level usage

Customer Stories

Real properties. Billed through Rent Manager.

Karl K. runs about 300 mobile home park units in Pennsylvania and Ohio on Rent Manager.

“Our recovery is above 90 to 95%, maybe give or take a couple percent. And I'm super happy that we can get back that much.”

With SimpleSUB, Karl's tenant relations team bills water straight to rent instead of running it as a separate manual process, and reaches out the day a resident's usage spikes. At one park, a stubborn $6,000 monthly water bill dropped by more than half.
