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

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.

Flow Sensor

Conductivity Transmitter transmits the measured value of conductivity to the LCU, which is further sent to tablet/PC via crown.

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.

Automatic Dispensing Unit (ADU)

. 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.

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
