UF or RO: Which Does Your Water Need?
| Water source | Typical problem | Technology |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal / county mains | Chlorine taste, sediment, possible germs | UF + carbon + UV (3-in-1 municipal) |
| Borehole | High TDS, hardness, iron, fluoride possible | RO with pre-treatment |
| Salty / coastal | Very high TDS | RO sized for the salinity |
Always start with a water test. Comparison of the two technologies: RO vs UF.
How Much Capacity Do You Need?
| Machine output | Litres in a 10-hour day | 20 L refills |
|---|---|---|
| 125 LPH | 1,250 L | about 60 |
| 250 LPH | 2,500 L | about 125 |
| 500 LPH | 5,000 L | about 250 |
| 1,000 LPH | 10,000 L | about 500 |
Theoretical maximum at rated output; real output depends on water temperature, pressure and TDS. Size for your realistic daily sales with room to grow.
What Is a 3-in-1 Station?
A 3-in-1 station combines treatment, refilling and bottle washing/rinsing in one frame, so a small shop can treat, wash and refill without separate machines. RO vending stations add a coin or token dispenser for self-service.
Other Costs to Budget For
- Premises with power, water supply and drainage.
- Raw water tank and treated water tank.
- Bottles, caps, labels and seals.
- Licences and water quality tests (see starting a water refilling business).
- Spare filters and UV lamp replacement.
Borehole to Refill Station
If you have a borehole, see borehole to refill station step by step for pumping, storage and treatment layout.
