Maine property owners are facing real pressure to manage water more carefully. Rising utility costs, aging infrastructure, and a mix of harsh winters and wet seasons make it risky to guess where your water is going. Submetering gives you clear, unit-level insight so you can control costs, reduce waste, and keep your communities running smoothly.
Maine’s properties are as varied as the landscape. From coastal apartment buildings in Portland and South Portland to older triple-deckers in Lewiston, lakefront HOAs, mobile home communities, and small-town rentals, plumbing setups can look very different from one site to the next. SimpleSUB is designed to adapt to that variety.
Long winters, heavy snow, and freeze–thaw cycles are part of life in Maine. Our clamp-on meters are built to perform reliably through cold conditions, and the over-the-pipe design helps you measure lines in basements, crawlspaces, and utility rooms where retrofitting inline meters would be difficult or expensive.
Many Maine properties also have their own quirks, like separate outbuildings, long service runs between units, scattered mechanical rooms, or mixed-use main streets with apartments above retail. SimpleSUB’s cellular, clamp-on devices are built to handle those realities with flexible placement and minimal disruption to your existing plumbing.
A lot of “wireless” systems still depend on on-site Wi-Fi, repeaters, or custom network gear that someone has to set up and maintain. SimpleSUB works differently.
Each meter connects directly to the cellular network and sends data straight to the cloud, with no gateways, bridges, or property-wide Wi-Fi required.
That means:
This setup reduces complexity, cuts down on potential failure points, and helps keep everything running smoothly, from oceanfront properties to wooded communities where Wi-Fi can be limited or inconsistent.
SimpleSUB is designed so your maintenance team, plumber, or preferred contractor can get up and running quickly. The clamp-on hardware mounts on the outside of the pipe, so you’re not cutting into lines or doing major construction just to start measuring.
Once the meters are in place, the web app is straightforward and easy to navigate. You can see usage by unit, review historical trends, and add more meters over time as you expand coverage across your property or portfolio. You do not have to overhaul your entire system on day one to start getting value.
SimpleSUB hardware is designed and built in the United States, with a focus on reliability and long-term performance. You are working with equipment built for real-world conditions, not just lab tests.
When questions come up, you can reach a US-based support team that understands both the product and the realities of managing properties like yours. You get practical help, clear answers, and a partner that speaks your language.
Properties across Maine already rely on submetering to improve water accountability, spot leaks faster, and simplify day-to-day water management. Whether you manage an apartment building in Portland, an HOA near the lakes, or a mobile home community in a rural town, SimpleSUB gives you a simple, reliable way to submeter water in Maine.
