Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about UQUA commercial water systems, OEM/ODM capabilities, lead times, MOQ, certifications and global logistics.
Business
Do you support distributors?
Yes. Distributors are the core of our channel model. Send us your market, customer profile and expected volume and we will scope a distributor arrangement.
Do you offer exclusive distribution?
Exclusive distribution is evaluated case-by-case based on territory, volume commitment and channel investment. Talk to us about your market.
What is your MOQ?
MOQ varies by configuration. For standard U-Series Standard and U-Series Pro, MOQ starts at one container for distributors and one sample unit for evaluation. Custom OEM/ODM configurations have a higher MOQ depending on tooling.
What is your lead time?
Standard configurations ship within 4–6 weeks of order confirmation. OEM/ODM configurations depend on tooling and certification timelines.
Do you offer OEM / ODM?
Yes. We support full OEM/ODM: brand, configuration, packaging, language and IoT customisation. See the OEM / ODM page for details.
Can I use my own brand?
Yes — that is what OEM/ODM is for. Front-panel and rear-panel logos, branded manuals, branded packaging and a branded IoT app are all part of the OEM/ODM offering.
Product
What water source is required?
Potable municipal water or pre-treated well water. The system is engineered for in-line connection to a 1/2" or 3/8" cold-water feed.
What is the filtration system?
5–6 stage RO with optional UV stage: PP + UDF + CTO + RO membrane + post-carbon, plus UV as the 6th stage when configured.
What is the capacity?
Hot-tank and chilled-tank capacities vary by model and configuration. The full capacity table is in the datasheet; request one through the Downloads page.
How often do filters need replacement?
Filter life depends on local water quality and usage, typically 6–12 months for the pre-filters and 12–24 months for the RO membrane. The IoT platform alerts when a filter is approaching end of life.
Does it support hot water?
Yes. UQUA delivers true boiling water at ≥95°C / 203°F, suitable for tea, instant meals and food service.
What is the power requirement?
110V / 220V / 240V configurations are available. A dedicated 15A circuit is recommended per unit.
Logistics
Where do you ship from?
From our factory in Wuxi, China. Shipping arrangements are confirmed with your order.
What are the shipping terms?
Shipping terms, costs, and delivery arrangements are confirmed in your written quotation and order agreement.
Can you provide spare parts?
Yes. Long-term spare-parts supply for the lifetime of the equipment. We support partner-managed spare-parts inventory.
Technical
Is IoT available?
Yes. IoT connectivity is included with every connected unit. See the IoT platform page for details.
How does fleet management work?
A web-based dashboard surfaces device status, water usage, filter life, fault alerts and multi-site views. The IoT app supports branded skins for OEM/ODM partners.
Can the system be customized?
Yes — OEM/ODM customisation covers brand, configuration, packaging, language, UI text, firmware and IoT functions. See the OEM / ODM page.
