Minnesota submetering made simple

Minnesota properties look very different from one region to the next, and your water system has to work in all of them. From Twin Cities apartment communities and suburban townhome associations to Duluth multifamily buildings, manufactured housing communities, and year-round lake homes, plumbing layouts and conditions can vary a lot.

Long, cold winters, heavy snow, and frequent freeze–thaw cycles are a fact of life here. Our meters are designed to perform reliably through harsh temperatures, and the over-the-pipe design helps you measure lines that would be difficult or expensive to retrofit with inline meters.

Minnesota properties also come with their own quirks, like scattered outbuildings, long service runs to remote homes or cabins, and mixed-use buildings in downtown areas. 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:

• Reliable performance in the Twin Cities, regional hubs like Rochester and Duluth, and small towns across greater Minnesota
• No on-site IT infrastructure or repeaters to manage
• Daily readings that make it easier to monitor usage and spot unusual patterns
• Secure, long-term data storage so you can track trends over time
• Connectivity that keeps working even in properties where resident Wi-Fi is limited or spread across multiple buildings

This setup reduces complexity, cuts down on potential failure points, and helps keep everything running smoothly, including on larger sites, lake communities, and rural properties where Wi-Fi can be 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 the property. You can start with priority buildings or sections and grow from there as your needs change.

SimpleSUB hardware is designed and built in the United States, with a focus on reliability and long-term performance. You’re 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.

Hundreds of units across Minnesota already rely on SimpleSUB for accurate water tracking, faster leak detection, and easier day-to-day water management. Whether you manage an apartment building in Minneapolis or St. Paul, a townhome or HOA community in the suburbs, a mobile home park or manufactured housing community in greater Minnesota, or lake properties and cabins, SimpleSUB gives you a simple, reliable way to submeter water in Minnesota.
