Automatic Pipe Detection (APD) is Live

At SimpleSUB Water, we're always looking for ways to reduce friction and speed up ROI for property owners. Our newest feature, Automatic Pipe Detection (APD), is designed to do just that.

‍

What is APD?

Automatic Pipe Detection (APD) is a new intelligence layer inside our over-the-pipe submetering solution. Using ultrasonic signals, APD can instantly detect pipe type and size.

‍

This feature was built from over 1,000+ measurements across 15 pipe types, multiple manufacturers, and 10 different temperatures. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes innovation that translates into real savings and speed in the field.

‍

Why It Matters for You

No more manual pipe surveys - forget costly site visits just to find out what pipes you’re working with. APD gives us everything we need remotely and in real-time.

‍

Accurate installs on the first visit - With APD, SimpleSUB devices self-detect and self-calibrate on install, eliminating guesswork and reducing the need for repeat trips.

‍

Cloud-configurable + support-ready - Our support team can remotely identify, override, or update pipe configurations via the cloud, so you’re never stuck with a “non-standard” pipe.

‍

Built for the Field. Backed by Data.

We didn’t just guess. APD was developed in thermal chambers, tested across environments, and refined with AI & machine learning. It’s accurate. It’s fast. And it’s already reducing install times across test deployments.

‍

Combined with our market-leading 100% ±5% accuracy and LTE connectivity, APD is another step forward in making water submetering smarter, simpler, and more scalable. Especially for owners of older buildings or mixed-pipe infrastructure.

‍

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. APD will continue to evolve with cloud-based updates, enabling us to support more pipe types as we scale without needing to touch the hardware.
