Transcript Why Automatic Water Dispensing?

Drawbacks of Manual Dispensing:
o Plant operator may come late, may run the plant for lesser time
or may not come at all.
o Long queues to pay cash/ get card punched each time(every day)
to fill water.
o Negligence or theft of water as well as the money collected.

Disadvantages of Coin Based
Dispensing
 The coin based dispensing system acts like a vending
machine for water but it has some disadvantages.
 The new one rupee coin is the size of the old 50 paisa
coins which does not work well with the dispenser.
 Sometimes, coins get stuck and water is not dispensed.
 Miscreants use metal washers in order to cheat the
system.
Recharge at Site
Water ATM with Inbuilt Modem
 The Water ATM has an inbuilt recharge unit which
enables a recharge on site facility.
 The Water ATM also has an inbuilt GSM Modem
which will notify the person in-charge of any recharge
via SMS on a laptop or a tablet.
Automatic Water Dispensing
Advantages :
The Water ATM allows a customer with a bonafide
charge card to get purified drinking water automatically
24 hours a day without the presence of an operator.
Fool proof system to eliminate theft of water and
money collected.
Flexible recharge options to consumers. Cards with low
or no balance can be recharged through a password on
the Water ATM itself.
The Water ATM will display and transmit an alert if
there is low tank level, low voltage or ATM malfunction.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
AUTO MULTIPORT VALVE
Conductivity Transmitter
Auto MPV automatically
backwashes/regenerates plant
either by time or pressure drop.
Crown allows you to backwash
as well as change setting by
remote
Conductivity Transmitter
transmits the measured value of
conductivity to the LCU, which
is further sent to tablet/PC via
crown.
Flow Sensor
Local Control Unit
(LCU)
Controls RO Plant, Indicates
instrument readings,
Communicates using SMS and
send alerts for malfunctions.
Measures the flow of
feed/reject and permeate
and total amount of water
produced by the plant. Also
transmits the measured
value of conductivity to the
LCU, which is further sent
to tablet/PC via crown.

Water ATM
Battery
Water ATM with solar charger
Tablet
• Water ATM always takes power from the battery.
• Battery will primarily charge with solar power. When sunlight is not available, it will
charge using power from the mains supply.
•When the battery is completely charged through either medium, it has a capacity to
dispense more than 400 units of 20 liter bottles.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Inlet Water Connection : ¾ “ BSPF Union
Outlet water connection : ¾” Hose Nipple
Flow Rate : 0.85 m3/hr @ 1m height
Electrical:
Input : 150-250 VAC/12VDC
Activation : Authorized RFID card
RS 485 communication port
Digital input for treated water tank level
Display: 16x2 line backlit LCD
Programming : via keys locally or through RS 485 port
FUNCTIONS:
a. To dispense water (volume based) least count 1 litre.
b. Displays Current balance on the card.
c. Mode: Fixed volume (programmable) OR Continuous (as long as card is in proximity)
d. Rate in Paise per Litre settable
e. Card Recharge – thru keys (password protected)
f. Alerts for low tank level, low voltage and time out.
g. Each Water ATM will have a security code unique for the purchasing company. It will recognize only those cards that have
this code. Cards can be freely charged across all water ATMs of the same purchaser.
Output via RS 485 :
1. Card recharge number and value
2. Batch quantity and rate per litre
3. Number of batches dispensed and total volume dispensed
4. Alerts for malfunction
When used in conjunction with RO controller LCU or Monitor IIM all this information is sent via SMS to 2 PC’s/Tablet/Smart
Phone and viewed using WATEM software.

Automatic Dispensing Unit
(ADU)
Recharge Cards
Recharge card for fetching
water anytime from an ADU
There are two ways to dispense water from the
ADU:1. BATCH METHOD (Constant Volume)
In this method the water dispense volume
remains constant for all the card holders
irrespective of volume of water they desire. The
dispense volume is set by the ADU owner
•
•
.
2. CARD METHOD (Adjustable Volume)
In this method the card holders can themselves decide the
volume of water they desire and is accordingly dispensed from
the ADU. But the water dispensing stops when the card is
removed. The card holder must note that after removing the
card the water dispense stops only after completing the current
litre value.

•
•
Cards initialized for a Water ATM are
usable only in Water ATM of same
company.
Cards issued to customer are uniquely
identifiable and they are tamper proof.
Card stores balance in the form of liters
Balance on card will be updated after
every valid use at the Water ATM.

• Options:
• Keeps data of upto 25 plants/sites.
• Gives information such as number
of cards, total recharge amount, total
volume of water dispensed and
number of batches dispensed in the
entire day.
• Issues emergency site alerts in case
of low voltage supply or any other
obstruction in the process.
• Water ATM unit can be controlled
via the app and can also be locked and
unlocked using the same.
Summary
Our aim is to deliver quality water all the time.
Our Automated Plants will simplify complex
operations and automatically control regular
operation cycles for quality, without any
dependency.
We Empower providers with necessary tools and
information for continuous operation of the plant.
Our Remote monitoring system will provide all the
required information at the finger tips, using GSM
Technology
Our Infrastructure helps to expand the
operations to more villages (any remote location).
Central monitoring helps to provide quality service
to all locations. (Efficient use of resources. )
Reduce maintenance and service costs of the
plants without compromising the quality of water
and RO plant operations
