Water Vending ATM Machine

The concept of water vending is simple: The customer owns his own bottles and fills them at his convenience. Unlike machines with bottles, a water vending machine doesn’t need to be checked often.

A water vending machine can fill thousands bottles per year, making it perfect for communities who want to diminish their plastic consumption but still want access to pure water.

The basic objective of the water vending machine also known as the water ATM is to provide safe and clean drinking water. The Water Vending Machine may be a coin-operated or non-coin operated water machine that can be installed at any Public or private place to deliver “healthy drinking water” at most affordable prices and convenience.

Because concern for the environment in Kenya and around the world is increasing and more people are aware of the damaging effects of bottled water, there is a great opportunity to convert those bottled water drinkers.

The water vending atm machine has double operation system (manually operated by pressing of a button to dispense water to the bottle) and fully automated through or coins inserting slot. The coin operated drinking water vending machine is a machine which works the same way earlier telephones used to work. You have to insert the money and then you will get the water according to your amount of money. The machines are easy to install and maintain. You don’t need to have any special knowledge or experience in water or in business to keep providing your community with high-quality drinking water.

Some of the characteristics that attract entrepreneurs to water vending business in Kenya include:

• Low startup costs – Usually, vending machines can be financed and do not require high start up capital to start and operate the business.
• Flexibility to set your own schedule – Generally, you’ll have the freedom to restock vending machines and collect money whenever it suits you.
• Controlled growth – You can set the pace for how quickly you want your business to grow. Some business owners maintain their “day job” as they gradually ramp up their vending machine business. You can choose to, as time and finances allow, add machines to your route when you’re ready to expand.
• Simplicity – After you have secured contracts with business locations and you have placed your machines, running a vending business is not overly complicated. You must maintain your machines to keep them in good working condition, restock machines as needed, and collect money from your machines. You’ll also have administrative duties, of course, such as recording your financial transactions, reporting and paying taxes, and handling any customer-related issues.
