Affordable, safe drinking water refill dispensers.
The Waterpod by I-Drop is focused on solving two global problems: giving people access to cheap, safe drinking water and stopping the waste of single-use plastic bottles from water. I-Drop designs, builds, and installs Waterpods, which are self-service drinking water refill dispensers that can be put in grocery stores, hotels, and other public places. The solution is for places where people don’t have easy access to clean drinking water and need or want a cheaper alternative to buying bottled water. The solution is a new product and business model that is made possible by a custom-built IOT monitoring and control platform. It is designed to be as efficient and affordable as possible, opening up the market to people who couldn’t afford safe drinking water alternatives before and making it easy for people who already buy bottled water to switch.
