Bill every unit without installing submeters
RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) splits the main meter’s consumption among the units according to each one’s number of consumers, that is, the people living in it. It is the solution for buildings where installing submeters is complex, such as those built before 1970.
Each unit has its own account on the platform, with its number of consumers. For example, if the main bill is $1,000 and 10 people live in the building, each person’s share is $100: a unit with 2 people pays $200.
- An account for every unit, with its number of consumers
- A monthly invoice for every unit
- Online access for residents (owners and tenants)
- Online payments and scheduled automatic payments
- Printed invoices by postal mail on Pro, and a dedicated manager on Full

We split the main bill and every unit receives its invoice by email. Your team checks the payments on the platform and pays the utility’s main bill.

Improve the split with clamp-on ultrasonic meters
With a clamp-on ultrasonic water meter with AMR in each unit, the main bill is split according to the consumption each meter records, not only by the number of consumers. It straps onto the outside of the pipe, with no need to cut it or shut off the water, and sends its readings to the platform automatically, within your RUBS account.
Before you choose it
- These meters are not certified for submetering: their readings do not have the accuracy and rigor normally required to bill with submeters.
- That is why everyone who pays for the water must agree to split it with this system.
- Some counties do not allow billing with clamp-on ultrasonic meters. Ask us before installing them.
