Water vending machine buying guide

Choose a cabinet, check your site, decide on water treatment and plan the specification — in four steps, before you ask for a quote.

Step 1 · Choose a cabinet

Compare the five vending cabinets

Every cabinet is built in our factory and configured per order: power, frequency, payment modules, 4G and branding. The choice comes down to format, filling points and how customers use the site.

CabinetFormatFilling pointsControlsSize

Sizes: the blue cabinet is measured at 875 × 900 × 1920 mm. Other cabinets show this standard size as a reference — every cabinet can be built to a different size, confirmed in the drawing for your order.

Step 2 · Check your site

Six things to check before you order

Send these with your inquiry and we can confirm the configuration and quote in one round.

Site & installationIndoor or outdoor, floor space, customer approach and service access. The final drawing confirms clearances and fixing points.
Water sourceMains, borehole or tanker water. Share a water analysis so the treatment stages, or a separate RO system, can be specified.
Power supply110, 220, 230 or 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. Tell us your local supply and we build the cabinet for it.
Payment & containersCoin, banknote, IC card or credit card, matched to your currency. Include the container sizes customers bring.
Branding & connectivityYour logo and cabinet graphics, plus optional 4G LTE configured for your destination network.
Destination & importYour country and port decide the documents and any pre-shipment inspection, such as PVoC or SONCAP.
Step 3 · Water treatment

Do you need a separate RO system?

Each vending cabinet carries its own filtration and disinfection stages, confirmed for your feed water. Add the stainless-steel RO system when you need more daily output than the cabinet produces, supply several filling points from one plant, or your water needs heavier pretreatment.

TreatmentSand · carbon · softener · RO
Power220 V / 380 V AC
Labelled stainless-steel RO system: sand, carbon and softener filters, high-pressure pump, precision filter, controller and meters
Step 4 · Plan the specification

Specification starting points

Electrical supply
Vending cabinets: 110 / 220 / 230 / 240 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz

Choose the voltage and frequency for your destination. The RO system is quoted with 220 V or 380 V AC.

Dimensions
Standard cabinet: 875 × 900 × 1920 mm

Measured on the blue cabinet, packed at 980 × 1000 × 2050 mm. Use it as a reference for the other cabinets; size and capacity are customizable and confirmed in your order drawing.

Filling speed
Give a target in L/min

Tell us the container volume and the filling time you want. Dispensing flow is separate from treatment output; a storage tank can support faster filling for a limited time.

RO production
Give your daily output

Share the daily volume, operating hours, feed-water analysis and product-water target. The quotation confirms the system configuration and expected performance.

Communication
Optional 4G LTE

Configured for your destination network. Mention it when you describe the configuration.

Next: how to order — quotation, proforma invoice, deposit, production and FOB Ningbo shipping. Or read what a water vending machine costs.
