Frequently Asked Questions
What is an automated bulk water dispensing station?
An automated bulk water dispensing station is an unattended system that lets authorized users buy and draw metered water without an attendant. Pro-Tech Systems Group’s station handles payment, dispensing, and accounting automatically, so a city or utility can sell bulk water 24/7 without staffing the site.
How do customers pay at a cashless bulk water station?
Customers pay by credit or debit card (chip, tap-to-pay, or mobile) or with an RFID card. RFID cards are issued by whoever owns the station and controls the billing, usually the city or municipality. Pro-Tech Systems Group tracks all usage and provides the owner with payouts on a monthly, quarterly, or annual schedule.
Is the water metering accurate enough to bill for?
Yes. The flow meter is certified “legal for trade,” which is the standard municipalities need to charge for water by volume. Every gallon dispensed is measured and recorded for accurate billing and reconciliation.
How long does it take to get a bulk water fill station?
Typical lead time is 14 to 18 weeks total, which includes the engineering submittal process. The control panel build itself runs about 8 weeks. Installation is performed by the municipality’s own licensed electrician and plumber.
Can the station operate outdoors through winter?
Yes. Panels are built to any required NEMA rating (typically NEMA 4X) and every panel includes an internal heater and fan as standard, so the station operates reliably through cold eastern-US winters.
Is the station American-made and Buy American compliant?
Yes. The station is designed and built in Akron, Ohio, and Buy American (BABA) documentation is available on request, which matters for projects funded through SRF loans or ARPA water grants.
Can it connect to our existing SCADA system?
Yes. The control panel can be tied directly into a municipality’s existing SCADA software, so bulk water usage and station status are visible alongside the rest of your water system.
