GETTING STARTED - CHOOSING A LOCATION
The saying, “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!”applies here!
The following are some of the locations you may want to consider when determining where
you will place your Big Bottle ;EXIV Kiosk.
Convenience Stores
Petrol Stations
Car Washes
Hotel Drive-In Bottle Shops
Village Shopping Centres
Retail/Grocery Stores
RV & Camping Areas
Parking Lots with Easy Access
Open Land Along a Well TravePled Road
A Centralized Location in Less Populated Towns
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Easily Accessible so Customer Can Enter/Exit Quickly
Main Highway
High Vehicle Traffic Flow
High Visibility from the Street
Near Apartment Buildings or Homes
The more of these criteria you can get in one location – the better. Locating the machine in an
extremely busy location isn’tnecessarily the best location if the customer cannot easily and
quickly get in and out.

ELECTRICAL
The Big Bottle Water Kiosk requires a 240 volt (single phase) 10 amp outlet.
Electrical service will need to be brought to the site where the Big Bottle Water Kiosk is located, so you will need to
evaluate or consider what cost may be involved to accomplish this.
If you are locating the machine in a space/site where electrical supply already exists, usually the existing supply can be tapped
into, and as an alternative, a “sub-meter” can be attached to the existing electrical service to independently meter the electrical
usage of the machine.The sub-meter is normally the most efficient way to access the utilities when leasing a site where the lease
does not have the Lessor paying the utilities as part of the monthly lease amount
PLUMBING
The Big Bottle Water Kiosk also requires a water supply from a municipal town water supply as well as access to a waste
water drain pipe.
MACHINE DIMENSIONS
2250mm
The following are the dimensions of our machine.These need to be taken into consideration when choosing your location to
ensure that the machine will fit in the space that you plan to locate the machine.
