1. Using a hydrant meter for bulk water dispensing is archaic
Automated bulk water truckfill dispensing systems are a popular option for municipalities and organizations. Especially when they want to dispense water in a safe way, instead of using hydrant meters.
Misusing hydrants can be extremely dangerous: the powerful water surge can injure someone right away, and later it can leave firefighters without water when they need it most because the hydrant has been damaged or taken out of service.
On top of the danger, there is an issue of accountability, the cost of water, and water theft.
2. Good design eliminates the risk of human error
With automatic monitoring software, there is less need to pay employees for monitoring tasks. On top of that, automated bulk water dispensing systems have not only low administration costs but also make accounting a breeze.
Software tracks each customer’s water use, and staff can generate invoices on demand, so billing stays accurate and straightforward.
If a customer falls behind on payments, staff can remotely lock their access to water until they settle the account.
3. Wasting Water is a Thing of the Past
With an automated bulk water dispensing system, the unit delivers only the water each customer needs. This allows you to track every gallon, which minimizes waste and keeps costs low.
Haulers enter precisely how much water they need. If they make a mistake, they can always press an emergency stop button.
Again, the system eliminates human error by dispensing exactly the amount of water required—no more and no less.
Nothing more, nothing less. Advanced algorithms in the software allow the valve to close precisely at the desired volume without hammering your distribution system.
4. Automated Bulk Water Dispensing Systems Generate Revenue
By allowing you to charge a fair price for water used and accounting for all the water taken by water haulers, you can realize more profit because automation limits the need for on-site employees.
The system automatically generates reports that show exactly when, where, and how much water each customer buys, so you can track the business easily and with confidence.
The system wirelessly sends data from multiple stations over the internet, and staff can manage all of those stations from a single location. Time is money, and an automated bulk water dispensing system will save you tons of time.
5. 24/7 Secure Access
While automated bulk water dispensing systems are great for municipalities and organizations for a variety of cost- and safety-related reasons, they are also beneficial to the water hauler.
Systems can be set up to give the consumer access to water 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without using easily lost or damaged keys, fobs, or cards.
They are easy to use, as onscreen instructions walk the customer through the use of the water station.
Record keeping is also made easier for the water hauler, with optional on-site production of receipts and the ability to send electronic receipts and transactional data reports via email.
Automated systems can also show the customer their account balance with each purchase. In turn, this eases the burden of accounting for the consumer as well.
