Water Submetering

Metering Tenant Water usage

UMS offers water submetering solutions for every plumbing type. Our Full Capture solution is a great option for buildings with a central boiler or hot water heater in each unit, our Point of Use solution is designed for buildings with stacked riser with multiple entry points, and our Commercial solution provides metering for high volume water consumption. We offer a solution for every water submetering need.

• We offer a variety of solutions using 3/4″ hot or cold meters. If each unit has its own hot water heater, you can use a single cold-water meter to capture all the water entering the unit. If you have a central boiler system, you will need one hot-water meter and one cold-water meter to capture all the water entering the unit. However your building is designed, we offer an accurate and efficient way to meter consumption. All our submetering systems are robust and remotely read. Click here to view our 3/4″ water meter.

• Multiple Point of Water Entry Developed specifically for “stacked riser” plumbing configurations, the MLX Point of Use (POU) solution consists of two primary components: the i-meter™ and the Meter Interface Card (MIC). The i-meter™ is installed at each point of use for each appliance in a multi-family unit to reliably and accurately measure water consumption. The system is fully compatible with all wireless meter reading systems. Click here to view our recommended point of use water meter.

• Our commercial water meters are available in 1-inch, 1.5-inch, and 2-inch sizes and are fully compatible with all wireless meter reading systems. They allow retail or mixed-use properties the ability to accurately and reliably measure water consumption for commercial spaces. Click here to view our commercial water meter.

We service all major types of submeters and submeter equipment. Our ability to monitor, repair, or replace equipment is unmatched and one of the top reasons why properties switch to UMS billing. In most situations, our metering department can work remotely with the property manager or maintenance personnel to diagnose, repair, or replace any faulty equipment. We monitor the health of your submetering system and bring meter issues to your attention so that you, and your residents, can have confidence in a fully operation submetering system. No drawn-out, unresolved repair tickets. You work directly with our knowledgeable and responsive metering department for a quick resolution.
