Nice water station! We recently purchased a house with a deep well pump/pressure tank setup. It's not connected to city water. I have DIY'd our water filters using 4 stage 20" slim filters consisting of 10, 5, 1micron and a carbon block. The only missing component is the RO system. But yeah... It's mineral... Not purified. Going into the house the water is filtered again by a sink top water filters which is also 5 stage. It includes an Ultra Fine filter rated at 0.1 micron. After which it goes thru a 6gpm UV water sterilizer. It was fun doing all that DIY stuff. All items were purchased online except for the pipes that were purchased at our local hardware store. I'm considering getting FRP tanks for sediment and iron removal in the future.

Sounds like you have worked out a good home system, and now enjoy the free water. Thanks!

@chasingmyasianqueen Год назад

Great video. I just retired as water plant operator in Florida for 40 years. Both our RO plants produce average 10 MGD

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

Yeah, much smaller scale but same concept.

We have a friend, with a similar set up, perhaps a little smaller, his electricity costs are considerable, be curious how much yours are, of course no competition, here in the Philippines, each electricity supplier has the sole rights in a particular area! Basically can charge what they like!!

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

Yeah, one day I will have all the solar I need. I pay around 35K peso for the whole building, I am guessing as of now, watershop is about 20K of that.

Nice set up mate, especially those stainless steel benches. Tiles are a pain in the ass to keep clean. I’ve been running my own water station in Dumaguete since 2016, been a good business but like yourself it was difficult in the beginning. Good crew is hard to find! But when you do find them you have treat them well, I also pay them accordingly unlike most others. Nice video, I like seeing how others have set up. I wish I had a bit more room but to make money in this business you really need to own your own shop space I’ll just stay put for now. May I ask how much your selling the 3kg and 5kg ice bags for? And I did you buy the plastic bags the Philippines? Thank you and all the best

@PHExpatPrepper 6 месяцев назад

Thanks.. it did take trial and error to get the setup to a place that was good. 3k 45p 5k 65p for the ice. We have a few restaurants that get a discount, as they order a lot.. We order the blue ice bags off of shopee.

@PHExpatPrepper 7 месяцев назад

Well.. its a mix..and I have updated it a bit. Any local seller of water equipment will assist better, as they will supply install. I just recommend start with a higher than you think setup. get 2hp pumps, get 4ro, ect.. as they will try to hook you with a cheap system.. but can not scale, so you will be always replacing (upgrading). Like tanks.. they will say 500l is good to start. Its not. 2000l is a good tank size to start.

@pumpkinjoesphilippineexperienc Год назад

I actually planned on doing this when I first arrived, but then I saw just how many there were in the cities I stayed in. I though for $3-$4k; which was the start-up cost in 2017 it was a great investment opportunity. I never thought the competition would be so stiff though. I'm glad to see it's worked out for you however. I may still look at in depending on the area we moved to once we sell our house & lot.

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

I live out in the province, there are about 4 other water stations, but MORE customers than anyone can use.. so thats all good, it comes down to how much I can produce. Thanks

This one is a pandemic proof business, when other suppliers are scarce, you can even barter it when SHTF.

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

For sure.. we were extra busy during the lockdowns as everyone was stuck at home..and drinking more water than normal

@jamesb872 Год назад

Where in the Philippines are you located? We have been here for four months but plan to permanently stay here. We have family in Angeles City, Pampanga. We are both retired but still young enough to do things. I love the water purification setup. Prepping is a way of life here. I first visited in 1977 while in the military. It is getting crazy in the US depending on where you are at.

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

We are out in a farming province. Baras Rizal, Yeah moved out here full time when I was 45. Have not looked back. Oh it can be crazy here too. But much nicer out in the province.

@johnkane2026 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Very educational. Do you have any recommendations on how a family might bring their own filling station up to spec? Are there companies that specialize in coming in to set the infrastructure and machinery/equipment up? Or do you have to do it on your own? And for filters and equipment are there certain industry-leading companies to source from? How does one go about that? Sorry for all the questions- happy to email or use a different forum. You seem very knowledgeable so I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss.

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

Hi, Yeah there are a LOT of companies that will sale you the initial gear, add on, and setups. They also help with getting it working right. Training too. After a while you get the hang of it, RO and filters, seals, and such are readily available online, or via whole sellers. I stock up of on that stuff too. Depends on where you are at, but I am positive there is some reputable seller\installer around. Thanks

@johnkane2026 Год назад

@@PHExpatPrepper any companies or websites specifically you could recommend? The filling station I am interested in modernizing is located in Tacloban City in Eastern Visayas. Not sure if the companies you’re aware have a presence there-but would appreciate any resources online or otherwise you know of.

@PHExpatPrepper 3 дня назад

Hi, Water is life, and everyone needs it. Some towns have a lot of stations, some need more. I guess it would depend on the location and need. I found its a decent money maker, and provides me we water (and Ice) security. It does take some advance though, and capital. Thanks for the sub!

@daveb378 Год назад

What’s your thoughts on the alkaline water? Me and the wife are thinking about getting a Kaegen, we’ve heard the alkaline water is better for you, but I’m still up in the air about it. Plus Kaegen is pretty costly.

@PHExpatPrepper Год назад

Good question, and I answer this a lot. UNLESS you have a high stomach acid issue, you do not need alkaline. It IS good for gert, acid reflux and such. That is the only benefit. It is basically mineral water that is charged to change the PH. You can solve this with diet.. Different fruits, and veg have higher acid, and some have lower.

Has this been a profitable venture for you, ask expenses considered?

@PHExpatPrepper 5 месяцев назад

Profitable yes, huge money maker, not really. We service the equipment regularly, and pay decent. We get free unlimited water and ice, and the watershop pays for the whole building's electric. I say 1k usd a month profit after all is said and done. Here that is decent.

@user-dl2cp6vw4x 5 месяцев назад

@PHExpatPrepper that's very good. Do you reccomend getting a topographic survey completed before buying land?

@PHExpatPrepper 5 месяцев назад

I would for any farm lot or some such, but I have no experience of that yet, we have only bought lots 300sqm or less, house, and biz lots. Farm lot my main concern would be water.

Hi! How much you need money to start?

@PHExpatPrepper 3 месяца назад

I put in 1.5M peso's.. Not counting the shop, as that was part of our existing building. But it does include the 200k peso for a very deep well. (free rent, and free water)
