On routes that handle lots of water
What it does
A Vending Fountain is installed to sell water for you; you supply the water and the power.
Rating
A specialized powered water outlet. It needs a continuing suitable water supply and charge, and the installation cost does not purify water or solve the batch's input costs.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
When stock is piling upConsider if tested, suitable water repeatedly waits after normal selling; preserve the water needed by crops or fish first.
When production falls shortDo not buy to cure insufficient treated water. Fund raw supply, treatment capacity or repairs before another consumer of the same water.
