A water ATM is an automated water vending machine that dispenses pure drinking water. It can be installed in urban and rural localities which do not have access to clean and pure drinking water. A water vending machine works like any regular bank ATM, the only difference being that it provides water instead of money.
People generally use water ATM machine to get clean drinking water at lower price rate than bottled water. There is a huge difference between rates of bottled water and RO purified water from a water ATM machine.
