Purchase Your Water Dispensing Unit or Rent- That is the Question?

Most of our equipment you can purchase but the good news is, it is also available to rent

Consider this, when renting, you are paying one only very competitive low fixed rental price- no more to pay.

However if you are planning to purchase your equipment and assessing the costs, then it is important to separate fact from perception-  

The purchase prices as shown for anyone equipment usually is just that, the price for for that equipment only. In most cases, filter and plumbing parts are not included and neither is the installation and/or the by annual service the filter changes and any maintenance charges. This may differ for different equipment and clients.

Evaluation: 
When one investigates the option of purchasing there water cooler & filter equipment, then it is important to consider all of the various factors involved in the ultimate cost of ownership including but not limiting to the initial set up costs and the ongoing costs of the maintenance of the equipment.

Here we are talking about food preparing and dispensing equipment with all of the OH & Safety implications considerations and requirements-

In order to make to make a fair assessment of the two options, I note the following. 

In our experience, renting water cooler equipment over the last 15 years, 92% of all of our customers chose to renting there water coolers and filter equipment.

It typically takes four to six years until you become cash positive when comparing the two options

When purchasing capital equipment, here are some of the following factors to consider-

The cost of the water cooler equipment

The cost of the filtration equipment

The cost of delivery

The cost of the installation on site

The cost of the ongoing service

The cost of filters, (depending on the type, at least two, sometimes three of them P.A.)

Depreciation (the cost of capital)

Repairs and maintenance, if any

Staff time, training and know how

OH& S aspects

Obsolete of the equipment
