Quick answer: A wall-mounted water vending machine puts the payment panel and dispensing nozzle through a wall or shop front, with the treatment and storage tank inside. Customers pay (coins, tokens or M-Pesa, depending on model) and fill their containers outside while the equipment stays secure indoors. It suits shops, kiosks and estates with limited frontage. H-TECH's wall-based water vending machine with bottle rinser is from KSh 242,000; standalone water ATMs from KSh 120,000.

How It Works

  1. Treated water (RO, UF or treated municipal water) is stored in a tank inside.
  2. The vending unit is mounted on the wall; only the panel and nozzle face outside.
  3. The customer pays and selects the amount.
  4. A pump and valve dispense the measured volume; a bottle rinser cleans containers before filling.
