How it works

Keep your capital on the production line.

A water plant is a large investment competing with everything else your company needs. With rental or pay per use, Aquargentum installs the plant at your facility and you make no upfront investment.

With rental you pay a fixed monthly fee and know your cost from day one. With pay per use we go further: besides providing the equipment, we operate and maintain it, and you only pay for the treated water you use. If production drops, your bill drops too.

  • Same equipment and engineering as a purchase
  • OPEX instead of a capital asset
  • Ideal for new plants, temporary projects or trying before buying
