What is a water vending machine?
A water filling machine is a small, compact, fully automated water treatment plant. These devices are usually connected to a central water supply system and are equipped with several water filters. These filters include a mechanical flow-through water filter, a chlorine removal filter, a high capacity reverse osmosis system, and a mineralizer or mineral dosing station. As a result of these steps, the water in the vending machines is purified to standards that meet drinking water.
How does the water machine work?
Despite the fact that the machine seems small, there is a lot of equipment inside the metal case:
- A cartridge mechanical filter with a polypropylene cartridge to remove large particles of silt, rust, sand that are present in tap water.
- Cartridge filter with activated carbon to reduce the content of substances dangerous for the membrane element - chlorine, which destroys the polyamide fibers of the membrane, and organic substances that form mucus in the interlayer space and reduce the performance of the membrane element.
- Reverse osmosis membrane to remove the smallest contaminants. At this stage, 99.8% of impurities are retained, including dangerous viruses and bacteria, heavy metal ions, pesticides, etc.
- Filter with a load of natural calcite material is designed to adjust the pH and mineralization with beneficial calcium ions.
- Carbon post-filter - improves the taste and smell of water.
- Ultraviolet disinfection is carried out immediately before bottling water.
- Also in some models there is an additional mineralization of water with a solution of reagents.
To make it easy for you to understand how such a system works, below we provide a basic technological scheme of water treatment.
What does an Ecosoft water dispenser consist of?
The water purification unit includes the following stages: mechanical filtration, chlorine removal using activated carbon, water color reduction, water softening, removal of up to 99.8% of all impurities using a reverse osmosis membrane, water pH correction, water taste and odor improvement, mineralization and UV disinfection.
The water dispensing unit is a terminal for installing and filling customer containers with water. Plastic bottles of various volumes from 0.5 to 18.9 liters can be used in the vending machines. The payment unit includes a bill acceptor, coin acceptor and a card reader for magnetic cards.

Water from a vending machine: can I be sure of its quality?
In this case, we can only talk about Ecosoft and "Healthy Water" products. If you decide to buy water from a machine of another manufacturer, we cannot guarantee the quality.
Our service department works like clockwork, and you can regularly see service engineers coming to carry out certain manipulations.
It is worth noting that most of the vending machines manufactured by Ecosoft are equipped with a system for automatic monitoring of water quality and flow rates. If something goes wrong or service is required, the automatic controller sends a notification to the machine owner and our service department. So you don't have to worry about the quality of your water treatment.
How to use a water vending machine?
If you want to pay in cash:
- Prepare the container by placing it on the shelf or in the bottle holder.
- Enter the required amount.
- Select the required volume of water using the button.
- Use the No/Pause and Yes/Start buttons to change the container.
We hope we have answered the question of how to buy water from a vending machine. If there are any unclear points, write them in the comments.
If you want to pay with a card:
- Prepare a container, place it in the bottle holder.Hold the card to the machine reader.
- After the balance of liters is displayed, select the desired volume and press the "Yes/Start" button.
- Use the "No/Pause" and "Yes/Start" buttons to replace the container.
- After you have finished filling, press the "No/Pause" buttons four times in a row.
How we produce Ecosoft water vending machines
The production of Ecosoft water vending machines is carried out in several stages, which include high-tech processes and the use of high-quality materials. At the design stage, the design and technical characteristics of vending machines are developed. The vending machine body is created to protect the equipment and ensure safe use. Various modules, such as cooling systems, product dispensing mechanisms, payment and control systems, are integrated into the vending machine body. Vending machines are equipped with electronic components, including displays, touch panels, coin acceptors, bill acceptors, and others.
The software is customized to ensure the correct operation of all machine systems, including inventory management, tariffs and other parameters. Thorough testing is carried out to check the functionality, reliability, and safety of the machine. This includes checking mechanisms, electrical systems, and software. Upon completion of the test, quality control is carried out to ensure that the machine meets safety standards and efficient operation.
The process of manufacturing vending machines at the Ecosoft plant is aimed at creating reliable, modern and efficient equipment for the automated sale of goods.
