The product
A prepaid water tap for community water points. It reads a customer’s NFC card, meters exactly what they draw, and runs on a small solar panel. Choose a self-contained Standalone unit or a Flush faceplate for kiosk walls.
Connecting a dispenser to the supply pipework
Two configurations
One enclosure with the plumbing inside. It mounts straight onto a concrete standpipe, which makes it the quickest way to convert a water point that already exists.
A waterproof polycarbonate faceplate set into a wall, with the plumbing module mounted behind it and serviced from the back. Built for kiosks. Also called the Split System.
Cards
Customers keep this one. A reseller adds credit, and the dispenser deducts it for exactly the water drawn.
Red, and only for technicians. It carries settings to the dispenser and reads back live status: battery and solar voltage, price per litre and more.

The electronics and payment system are identical. Standalone is a single unit with the plumbing built in, and mounts straight onto a concrete standpipe or an existing water point. Flush (also called the Split System) separates the two: a waterproof polycarbonate faceplate sits in the wall where people collect water, and the plumbing module is installed behind it with rear access. Flush suits kiosks, where a flat, tamper-resistant front matters.
No. It runs on a built-in 12 V, 14 Ah lithium-ion battery charged by a 50 W+ solar panel. If the site has 12 V DC mains you can connect it, but it is never required.
Nothing changes for the customer. The balance is stored on the WaterCard, so the dispenser can sell water with no connection at all. Transactions are written to an SD card and uploaded when the modem reconnects.
Yes. The Standalone unit is designed for exactly that. It mounts onto an existing concrete standpipe without further civil works.
With a prepaid NFC WaterCard. Cards are topped up for cash by a local reseller using the free Android app, or through the operator’s own systems. Mobile money top-up is available as a paid, bespoke integration, quoted per project.
No. They use MIFARE DESFire with AES-encrypted data and cannot be cloned. Genuine NXP cards are rated for up to a million write cycles, and EV3 cards retain data for 25 years.
Three parts are replaced on a schedule: the battery every 3–5 years depending on local sun, and the flow meter and valve every two years or 100,000 cycles, whichever comes first. A local technician can replace all three. The enclosure and core electronics are designed to last more than ten years.
