Abstract: Disclosed is a system for validating point of access customer subscription status and brokering intermediary billing adjustments. Customers can register into a water filter network. When at a food service provider location, a subscriber, when ordering water, can receive water filtered by network company's filter systems in a water storage container having a unique optical machine code that can be scanned using a smartphone application to verify the customer's subscription status via water filter manufacturer's database server. Filtered water from company's water dispensing apparatus is provided to a valid subscriber for free, while the unregistered subscriber will be required to pay full retail price for said bottle of water. The amount of water received by the validated subscriber will be deducted from the retail service bill of the service customer and the volume of water dispensed is deducted from a monthly bill of the food service provider.

Abstract: Disclosed is an automated smart water purification and dispensing apparatus for providing purified water to a plurality of users. The water dispensed by the automated smart water purification and dispensing apparatus employs an ION purification means and an Ozone purification means for the incoming water from the water supply. The automated smart water purification and dispensing apparatus includes a display means for providing visual information and an audio output means for providing audio information to users. The subscribers of a water-dispensing scheme proposed by a central computerized controller can receive water using a storage container having an optical code that can be read using an RFID reader of the automated smart water purification and dispensing apparatus. The central computerized controller communicates with a central server in real time for transferring information about the subscribers and for controlling water dispensing accounts associated with each of the subscribers.
