    You’re also paying for the installation of a refrigeration system right at the point where you want water.

      Sure, but if everyone drinks a half gallon a day (still a lot for a normal person), that’s still 95% revenue which will absorb the installation cost quickly, and maintenance is minuscule on something like this.

      Not to mention that since its subscription based, a broken dispenser is actually more profitable in the short term.
