WATER REFILLINGWATER REFILLING
STATIONSTATION
INTRODUCTION
The demand at the water refilling stations – water stores that sell purified water – is
now increasing. The quality of purified water conforms to the national standards for drinking
water and is even better than the quality of water produced by traditional water supply
systems in terms of removed impurities.
Over the years, as the demand for cleaner water becomes higher, the price of
household water purifiers and bottled water has become prohibitive. Water refilling stations
managed by private entrepreneurs offer a cheaper and more convenient solution to the
public’s drinking water needs than bottled water or the use of household filters.
At present, about 15 water refilling stations have proliferated in Dipolog City. They sell
purified water of comparable quality with bottled water at a lower price. For example, the
current price per gallon of refilled purified water in Dipolog City ranges from P 20 to P 3 per
5-gallon container when bought on store site, while prices ranges between 25 to 35 when
delivered within Dipolog City..
In Dipolog City, most of the water refilling stations is connected to the pipes of Dipolog
City Water District for their source of raw water while in other areas they opt to use private
deep wells. The “potable water” supplied by the providers is then further purified by utilizing a
combination of water treatment equipment, such as sediment filters, carbon filters, water
softeners, reverse osmosis membranes, ultra-violet lamps, and ozone generators. Typical
water refilling stations can produce 3,000 to 12,000 liters of purified water per day. In
previous years, most of the people were bringing containers to a water refilling station to buy
purified water.
Nowadays, because of convenience on the part of the consumers, purified water in 5-
gallon (22.7 liters) containers is delivered by the station directly to the people’s home.

MARKETING BUDGET
Delivery Vehicle
There is a need to purchase a delivery vehicle to ensure the fast and timely
delivery of products. Consumers prefer to buy products that are readily available and
with minimal waiting time. Water is a basic need and there should be no delays in the
delivery. Estimated cost of a delivery vehicle is at Php 75,000.00. Estimated Useful
Life is five (5) years.
Fuel Consumption in the delivery of goods is estimated at 500.00 per day.
Information Dissemination
The awareness campaign will entail costs of printing flyers (for distribution) and
tarpaulins (to be placed at strategic locations). Cost of these materials is estimated at Php
10,000.00.
Packaging and Labeling
Initially, 100 units of containers (5 gal) will be purchased. Since most of the
consumers already have containers, the said containers will be replaced every
delivery. Empty containers will be refilled and delivered to other customers so that
consumers will only have to pay for the contents and not the containers.
All containers should have labels, bearing the name of Aqua Kabayan and all
containers should all be sealed to ensure that the product reaches the end consumer
with utmost quality. Fifteen thousand pieces of labels and seals will be printed on a
quarterly basis. Estimated cost is Php 3.00 per container.
Manpower
There will be 2 persons handling the delivery, both of which should know how to drive
the delivery vehicle so that they can work alternately on the tasks to be assigned to them.
They are going to receive salaries of Php 4,500 a month or Php 150.00 daily.

PRODUCTION ASPECTPRODUCTION ASPECTProduction Process (water filtration & purification system)
1st unit Multimedia sediment process Stage 1 The water first passes through the 1st stage which makes up of a course
gravel that traps solid particles of about 100 micron Stage 2 Consists of sand filters that removes sediment of 50 micron ratings Stage 3 Consists of fine sand that eliminates solid particles of 25 micron Stage 4 Consists of fine clear slit that eliminates solid particles down to 5 micron 2nd unit Multi media carbon process Stage 5 Makes use of a lignite carbon that removes foul taste and odor
Stage 6 Makes use of bituminous carbon that eliminates yellowish and brownish discoloration brought by inorganic contaminants
Stage 7Makes use of granular activated carbon (GAC) as the last multi media carbon stage. This stage is where the water undergoes longer contact time with the carbon to eliminate other contaminants that might cause foul smell or taste
3rd unit Water conditioning and softening process
Stage 8 Makes use of resin beads that attract mineral contents that convert hard water to soft water
Stage 9 Makes use of ion exchange beads to condition water by extracting the organic and inorganic chemicals present in the water
Stage 10 Makes use of another carbon that eliminates any ferrous iron (dissolved iron) in water
Stage 11 Makes use of fine gravel that serves as a sieve which eliminates any residue that might come out during regeneration time. This is a cleansing agent.
4th unit Ultra micron process
Stage 12
Consists of a one (1) big blue housing that includes 1 micron cartridge that eliminates any microscopic residue that might go to the reverse osmosis membrane. This stage stands as a protection for the membrane against premature clogging
5th unit Reverse osmosis
Stage 13
It is the most important system in any water filtration and purification process. This makes use of reverse osmosis equipment which has semi-permeable membrane that only allows pure water to pass through and pushes the unpure water out of the system to the reverse side or the reject drain line.
6th unit Polishing process
Stage 14 Includes one (1) big blue housing that consists of a carbon cartridge that serves as a polishing stage to make the water crystal clear and shiny
7th unit Anti-microbial process
Stage 15
This stage eliminates cyst micro organism that has a micron rating of 1 and has a very thick cell wall where UV light sometimes cannot penetrate; however a micron rating of 0.5 will eliminate such kind of micro organisms. Cyst causes diarrhea and gastro enteritis.
8th unit Water sterilization process
Stage 16
This last and final stage is the second most important system in a water filtration and purification system. This is the stage that kills all microorganisms and other diseases causing bacteria from infiltrating into the product water, thereby assuring safe and pure water.
