RUBS is considered to be an unsophisticated water billing method, and is unfair to your tenants. Using a formula that isn't based on actual usage can both put unwarranted financial strain on tenants, and cause conflict with tenants.
RUBS is slowly becoming outlawed in certain places
Many landlords have caps on what they can charge to tenants and end up still needing to pay for water waste in the system anyways.
Tenants may refuse to pay for other people's usage or undetected leaks, causing the owner to cover the difference eventually.

Most other smart water meters cannot be used to submeter apartment units because there is no unit main on which to install a meter for each unit. The “riser” plumbing in many buildings provides water to each unit from multiple locations, making it impossible to submeter individual units with conventional smart meters. However, DrizzleX’s revolutionary micrometers easily install on every fixture in an apartment, so the building plumbing configuration does not matter. With DrizzleX, every drop of water flowing through every fixture is metered.
