How a water refill machine works (water atm)

A water refill machine is usually connected to a local water supply line or to a larger reservoir. The machine contains a filtration system with filters including sediment filters, carbon filters, reverse osmosis which is optional and UV sterilization which is also optional. The sediment filters eliminate sediments of large particles such as sand while carbon filters eliminate bad odors, tastes and chlorine. Reverse osmosis helps in removal of salts dissolved in the water and other impurities while UV sterilization kills bacteria and viruses.

With a water filling line in place, the water refill machine also contains a nozzle or spout through which the water is dispensed into the customer’s container. To enable usage, buttons or a touchscreen is installed that allows the user to select the water amount and pay. The water refill machine is also designed to allow for different methods of payment including bills, credit/debit cards and coins. A control system is also installed to allow management of the machine operation and therefore ensure correct water quality monitoring and dispensing.

How to use a water refill machine 

This refill machine is very simple to use. You/your customers carry their own reusable container to the machine, select the amount of water desired and then pay via the available convenient method. Customers place the container under the nozzle/spout of the water refill machine and the machine dispenses the amount of water selected. Walk away with clean water and that’s it.
