Meterity — Cellular Water Metering & Submetering for Canada & the USA
Cellular water metering · Canada & USA

Water metering that needs no network to own.

Meterity ultrasonic meters read themselves and report over the cellular network, straight to your dashboard. No gateway. No site WiFi. No collector network to permit, power and replace — just the meter and the answer.

The gap

Water is the last utility nobody actually watches.

One bulk meter, one number a quarter, and a bill that arrives long after the water is gone. Leaks run for months. Cost gets split by square footage instead of use. The fix has always existed — it was just buried under a radio network somebody had to buy, permit, power and eventually replace.

01

Zero infrastructure

The carrier is the network. No collectors, no repeaters, no head-end server, no tenant WiFi credentials. Your cost per meter is the same at twenty-five meters and at twenty-five hundred.

02

Nothing in the water to wear out

No piston, disc or turbine. Measurement happens in electronics, so accuracy holds instead of drifting downward the way mechanical registers do as they age.

03

It is a plumbing job

Isolate, thread it in with the flow arrow downstream, pressure-test. The cellular link starts on its own — no pairing, no commissioning visit, no IT project.

Architecture

Four links in the chain. You own one of them.

Everything between the meter and your browser is somebody else's capital expense — and somebody else's replacement cycle.

STEP 01 · ISOLATE

Close the shutoffs either side of the meter position and drain the line.

STEP 02 · FIT

Thread it in, flow arrow downstream. PTFE tape or approved paste — never hemp.

STEP 03 · TEST

Restore flow, check for leaks, confirm the display wakes on a touch.

STEP 04 · ALREADY ONLINE

Nothing to pair or configure. Under an hour per meter once the line is isolated.

The hardware

From a suite riser to a 300 mm main.

One measurement principle, one platform, three form factors. Every unit reports over its own cellular link.

Suite & branch meter

The submetering workhorse. Fits inside suite risers, washroom groups and small tenant lines where a mechanical meter would jam on scale.

MOST SPECIFIED

Service, deduct & irrigation

Single-family services, commercial sub-lines, irrigation feeds and deduct meters — the size most sewer-credit and allocation projects land on.

Bulk & main-line ultrasonic

Flanged ultrasonic meters with the same cellular interface for building mains, district zones and bulk services — so the bulk meter and the submeters live on one screen.

One meter where the supply enters each unit

Schematic · not to scale
Potable-safe by construction

Lead-free because there is no metal in the wetted path — not because of a certificate.

The body is an engineered composite rather than brass or bronze, so there is no lead to leach into drinking water, nothing to corrode, and no bearing or gear train for hard water to seize.

No lead in the wetted path
No piston, disc or turbine to jam
Accuracy that does not drift with age
Survives a flooded pit — IP68
The platform

The meter is the sensor. The software is the product.

Most of what you would hire a submetering contractor for, in a browser. Rank every suite by consumption, catch the trickle that never stops, reconcile your submeters against the city's bulk bill, and export the period your billing system wants.

CONTINUOUS FLOW · 6H 42M

Suite 1104 has not stopped drawing water since 23:10. A wide-turndown ultrasonic meter sees the trickle a mechanical register never registers at all.

Automatic remote reads

No site visits, no clipboards, no estimated bills. Every meter reports on a schedule.

Per-unit & per-zone ranking

Sort every suite, pad, building or irrigation zone and find the worst one in seconds.

Leak & continuous-flow alerts

When flow never stops, you get told that night — not on next quarter's bill.

Anomaly detection

The system learns each meter's normal pattern and flags the leak nobody set a threshold for.

Bulk-meter reconciliation

Do your submeters add up to the utility's bill? See the gap and where it comes from.

Custom consumption alarms

Daily, weekly, monthly or rolling-window limits. Per meter or per group.

Reports & export

View, share, or export to CSV and Excel for the billing system you already run.

Silent-meter alerts

You learn that a meter went quiet that week. You do not discover it in spring.

Submetering & cost allocation

Stop splitting the water bill by square footage.

A bulk bill hides everything: the running toilet, the tenant with the pressure washer, the irrigation zone that runs in the rain. Submeter the branches and the same bill becomes an itemised statement — who used what, when, and what it cost. Allocation gets fair, waste gets visible, and consumption falls because somebody is finally watching.

→Per-suite and per-tenant allocation from measured volume, not floor area
→Deduct meters on irrigation and cooling make-up, for sewer credit records
→Leaks charged to the leak, not to the whole building
→Records in the format a board, an owner or an auditor will accept

Monitoring and cost allocation are available everywhere. Direct tenant billing is governed by provincial and state law — tell us where the property is and we will tell you honestly what applies.

PLUMBERS & CONTRACTORS

Thread it in and walk away

No gateway to mount, no network to join, no commissioning call-back. Add remote reading to the work you already quote — and stop being the one who explains a $40,000 radio layer.

PROPERTY MANAGERS & BOARDS

See every suite before the AGM

One building meter and a hundred-plus suites is a guessing game. Rank them, catch the overnight runner, and bring measured numbers instead of a per-door average.

HOMEOWNERS & LANDLORDS

Find the leak while it is still small

A slow leak in a rental costs you every month until somebody notices. One meter, one alert on your phone, and the water story of your property is no longer a mystery.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need WiFi, a gateway or a site network?+

No. Each meter carries a managed SIM and talks to the carrier directly. There is no gateway, repeater, collector or head-end server, and we never need your tenants' network credentials.

How do I know I have cellular coverage at the site?+

If there is an active mobile phone network from one of the carriers at your site, you have coverage. One caution for buried installs: check the signal screen before you close a deep vault or a steel-lidded box — metal and depth can block cellular, so keep the meter near grade.

Can I bill my tenants by consumption?+

Yes — this solution gives you the ability to bill tenants by measured consumption. Some states and provinces apply local regulations to submetered billing, so confirm the rules for your jurisdiction before you bill. Monitoring, leak detection and cost-allocation analysis are available everywhere regardless.

What happens at battery end of life?+

The battery is replaceable. You get a low-battery alert well ahead of time, so it is a planned swap rather than an outage — and either way you are only ever replacing a meter, not a tower network and a head-end server, because you never bought them.

Can the data reach my billing or accounting system?+

Yes. Reports export to CSV and Excel for any period — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or a rolling window — and there is no per-seat fee, so your billing clerk gets their own login.

Who owns the meters and the data?+

You do. The hardware is a one-time purchase with no revenue share and no service contract that holds your meters hostage, and your consumption data stays yours.

My service is larger than 1". Do you fit?+

Yes — that is what the flanged DN40–DN300 ultrasonic range is for, on the same cellular platform. Tell us the line size and we will confirm the right unit rather than sell you the wrong meter.

Start small

Start with one site, not a program.

A pilot sized to a single approval: a handful of meters, a fixed price and a written report at ninety days. If it finds you nothing, you learned that cheaply.
