Benefits of Water Refilling Stations
Starting water refilling station franchise is one of the most successful and profitable businesses today due to the high demand for cleaner water. Purified water meets national drinking water requirements and, in terms of impurities removed, is much better than water produced by traditional water supply systems. Most water refilling stations in the Philippines have large water treatment machines that they use to fill large bottles with safe, clean drinking water (usually 5 gallons) that serve as their primary product. Their whole operation, from water treatment to bottle cleaning, must conform to national health standards as outlined by the Department of Health (DOH).
