The equipment should also be high quality and maintain the standards of the purified water.

How to make profits through a water ATM

If you can put your water dispensing machines in a very busy location with high demand for your product you will make significant sales. If you can sell your product at a price where you can maintain a decent margin then you will make profits.

If your water vending ATM business is located in an abandoned warehouse or in a location with only a very small number of people your profit will be small to none.
