20 sen a litre water dispenser

I was sharing the water purifier with a friend yesterday, and he wanted to compare the price per litre with the 20 sen per litre dispensers. He has a family of 4 and averages 6 litres daily or 22,000 litres over 10 years.

So let's see some costing I shared wtih him based for the next 10 years:-

Nature Pure Purifier................................... = RM 3,997 - 10 year guarantee
Add 1 replacement prefilter........................ = RM 127 - free delivery
Add 4 replacement cartridges @ RM 437... = RM 1,748 - free delivery
Water Cost 22,000 @ RM 0.57/1,000........ = RM 13

Total cost based on his family consumption = RM 5,885

What about the 20 sen per litre costing?

22,000 litres over 10 years @ 20 sen........... = RM 4,400
Alternate days drive 1km to pick up water
Petrol & maintenance @ 30 sen/km.
Total 1825km @ 30 sen.............................. = RM 548
4 x 3l Drinking water bottles for storage..... = RM 40
Time cost 30 mins x 1825 trips x RM 1........ = RM 912 - RM2/hr!

Total cost of 20 sen water dispenser ..= RM 5,900

Needless to say, the maths was simple enough, for any dummy to invest in a Nature Pure Water Purifier unit for their home!
