2018: New functionalities


- Mobile payment
- More comfort and control for users, lower costs for utilities

- Variable pricing
- You sell purified water and compete with bottled water providers? The price per liter of
water will differentiate, just like with bottled water.

- Making water rationing history


- Water rationing is common in Kenya. This can be eliminated fully with smart use of new
prepaid water meters.

- Monitoring dashboard. Now also as a one-off payment


Purified water ATMs
Purified water at 20% of the price of bottled water

Why profitable for the entrepreneur and so cheap for clients?


- No bottling plant required
- No bottles
- No operational cost of bottling
- No distribution costs (people refill)
- No excise duty
- Option of variable tariffs. Example:
Kes 40 for 20 liter (2 kes per liter)
Kes 20 for 5 liter (4 Kes per liter)
Kes 5 for 0,5 liter (10 kes per liter)

Purified water has silver ions to ensure safe water at point of use
