It just plain silly to reinvent stuff like that especially in the case
of water there is a really common volume measurement that is recognized

$5/unit? or you were interested in a new car and found that the fuel
economy was 25 miles/unit?

Aound here, Safeway price their donuts by the dozen. However,
Safeway have also redefined the dozen as 14 donuts. Which all
goes to prove that... stuff happens.
