Municipal UF vs Borehole RO Water Refilling Station: Which One Do You Need?

H-TECH 3-in-1 water refilling stations treat, store and dispense water in one unit. The main choice is between municipal UF stations, for tap water, and borehole RO stations, for salty or high-fluoride water. The right one depends entirely on your water source.

Municipal UF Refilling Stations

H-Tech 3-in-1 Municipal UF 250L – price in Kenya — H-Tech 3-in-1 Municipal UF 250L
**KSh 240,000**

H-Tech 3-in-1 Municipal UF 500L – price in Kenya — H-Tech 3-in-1 Municipal UF 500L
**KSh 280,000**

**KSh 450,000**

Station	Price
H-Tech 3-in-1 Municipal UF 250L	KSh 240,000

Ultra filtration removes sediment, cloudiness, bacteria and viruses from municipal water, which is already low in dissolved salts. UF stations cost less to buy and run, and waste very little water.

Borehole RO Refilling Stations

H-TECH 125 LPH 3-in-1 Borehole RO Water Vending Machine – price in Kenya — H-TECH 125 LPH 3-in-1 Borehole RO Water Vending Machine

**KSh 920,000**

Station	Price
H-TECH 125 LPH 3-in-1 Borehole RO Water Vending Machine	KSh 330,000
H-Tech 3-in-1 Borehole RO 500 LPH	KSh 550,000
H-Tech 3-in-1 Borehole RO 1000 LPH	KSh 920,000

Borehole water in much of Kenya is salty, hard or high in fluoride, and only reverse osmosis removes those dissolved minerals. The H-TECH 125 LPH 3-in-1 Borehole RO Water Vending Machine is listed with RO treatment, a stainless storage tank, a bottle-rinsing sink, two refill points and PLC vending automation.

How to Decide

Your water	Choose
County or municipal supply (tap)	Municipal UF station
Borehole, or water that tastes salty	Borehole RO station
Rift Valley borehole (fluoride risk)	Borehole RO station
Water bowser or tanker supply of unknown quality	Test it first. RO is the safer choice.

If you have both tap and borehole water on site, many operators use the tap supply with a cheaper UF station and keep the borehole for other uses. Always test your water before deciding. See Borehole Water Treatment in Kenya.
