Water Vending Machines in Johannesburg

Suppliers around Johannesburg can quote on a water vending machine for a shop, garage forecourt or yard, and can point you to refill stations where you can fill your own bottles. Mention your suburb or township in Gauteng, how many litres you hope to sell and what water supply you have.

What to know locally in Johannesburg

In Johannesburg, floor-standing coolers are the usual choice in Braamfontein, Rosebank and Parktown offices, while Kya Sand, Wadeville and City Deep warehouses prefer bottom-loading units so nobody lifts a full bottle. Plumbed-in dispensers suit Melville and Fordsburg restaurants with steady pressure, but anywhere the mains drops out, a bottle-fed model keeps working. Ask suppliers about stands that cope with tiled concrete floors and the cooler placement near staff kitchens.

Drinking water in Johannesburg

Johannesburg sits far from any big river, so its tap water is pumped uphill from the Vaal system and the Lesotho Highlands scheme by Rand Water, then distributed by Johannesburg Water. Reservoirs and pump stations have faced maintenance shutdowns, burst mains and power interruptions, and parts of Soweto, Alexandra and the older northern suburbs often see low pressure or dry taps for a day or two. The water is moderately soft and tastes of chlorine in summer. Dispensers are common in Braamfontein and Marshalltown offices, Wynberg and City Deep warehouses, southern schools and taxi rank shops, where staff want a reliable drink when the municipal supply drops.

The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:

  • Offices and business parks: a refill point close to the office park for topping up bottles between deliveries
  • Households: a nearby refill machine where you fill your own clean 18.9 litre bottles for less
  • Factories, mines and building sites: a machine at a depot or yard filling drinking water for staff and neighbours
