Vending Reviews

Water vending machines are self service water dispensers. You can fill up your containers, bottles, and jugs with pure water at these machines. Water vending machines provide water of good quality in return to inserted coins, paper currency, card, or token. Most of them are placed in front of supermarkets and petrol stations. They can also be found at health boutiques, large hardware stores, apartment complexes, service stations, and grocery and convenient stores.

Water vending machines are available in a variety of styles including free-standing units, and wall and window mounted equipments. Most water vending machines dispense one to five gallons of pure water. Some are available with options such as UV sterilizer, coin changer, fill and flush, bill acceptor, and meter.

Some models of water vending machines are particularly designed for in-store use. They come with a no-coin format. The consumers are required to pay the amount at the counter inside of the store.

The cost of water sold through these machines is relatively higher than pre bottled water found in the stores. Usually, drinking water supplied through these machines costs from 0.25 to $0.35 per gallon.

Water vending machines make use of two different technologies to measure the quantity of water in the machine. Some types of machines use water meters with an electronic pulse output. Some are timer based machines. Compared to bottled water, water offered from these machines passes through a heavy filtration process using ultra-violet lights, particulate filters, and reverse osmosis filtration methods. In order to supply good quality water, the machine must be maintained properly.
