For Customers

5 questions

WaterHub is an online directory and ordering platform for water refilling stations in the Philippines. It connects customers who need clean drinking water with nearby stations that offer pickup or home/office delivery.

Simply visit waterhub.online, find a station near you, browse their products and pricing, and place an order directly. You can also allow location access to see the nearest stations first.

You can browse the station directory without an account. However, creating a free account lets you:

  • Track your order history and status
  • Save your delivery addresses for faster checkout
  • Receive real-time notifications about your orders
  • Leave ratings and reviews for stations

Registration is free and takes less than a minute.

WaterHub lists water refilling stations across the Philippines. Use the search bar on the homepage or click "Near Me" to see stations available in your area.

If no stations appear near you, it means no station in your area has registered yet. You can encourage your local station to sign up for free at waterhub.online/about.

Station owners on WaterHub can log their TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and pH readings for each batch using our Water Quality Log feature. You can view a station's quality records on their profile page.

We strongly encourage all listed stations to maintain regular quality logs. However, WaterHub is a technology platform β€” we do not physically test or certify water quality. Always check a station's quality records and certifications before ordering.

Yes! After receiving an order from a station, you can leave a star rating and a written review on their profile page. Reviews help other customers make informed choices and help station owners improve their service.

Please keep reviews honest and respectful. WaterHub reserves the right to remove reviews that are false, abusive, or violate our Terms of Use.

Ordering & Delivery

6 questions

Placing an order is simple:

  • Find a station on the homepage or use "Near Me"
  • Click on the station to open their order page
  • Select your products and quantities
  • Choose pickup or delivery
  • Enter your contact details and delivery address (for delivery)
  • Submit your order

You'll receive a confirmation and real-time updates on your order status.

Delivery fees are set individually by each station β€” WaterHub does not charge a platform fee or commission on deliveries. The delivery fee for a station is displayed on their order page before you confirm.

Some stations may offer free delivery for orders above a certain amount. Check the station's page for their current delivery terms.

Delivery times vary by station and depend on their current workload and your distance from the station. Most stations aim to deliver within 1–3 hours of order confirmation.

You will receive a notification when a rider is assigned to your order and again when it is out for delivery. If delivery is taking longer than expected, contact the station directly using the number on their profile.

You can request a cancellation through your order history page as long as the order has not yet been assigned to a rider. Once a rider is out for delivery, cancellations are subject to the station's individual policy.

For cancellations after dispatch, contact the station directly. WaterHub is not responsible for cancellation disputes between customers and stations.

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you need to cancel urgently, call the station directly using the contact number on their profile page.

Payment methods are determined by each station. Most stations accept:

  • Cash on delivery
  • GCash (send to the station's number)
  • Bank transfer

The accepted payment methods are shown on each station's order page. WaterHub does not currently process payments directly β€” transactions are between you and the station.

If you received the wrong items or your order was incomplete, contact the station directly using the phone number on their profile. Stations are responsible for fulfilling orders correctly.

If you cannot resolve the issue with the station, you can file a complaint with WaterHub at admin@waterhub.online and we will assist in mediating.

For Station Owners

5 questions

Listing your station is completely free. Simply contact us and we will set up your station profile:

We will create your station profile, add it to the directory, and send you your login credentials β€” usually within 1 business day.

βœ… The directory listing is always free β€” no monthly fee, no commission, no hidden charges.

Your public listing will show:

  • Station name and logo/emoji
  • Business address and map pin
  • Operating days and hours
  • Business contact number
  • Products and pricing (if you enable online ordering)
  • Customer ratings and reviews

Your personal contact number is never shown publicly without your explicit consent. You control what information appears on your profile.

Yes. You can request removal of your listing at any time by contacting us at admin@waterhub.online. Your station will be removed from the public directory within 7 business days.

If you have an active POS subscription, we recommend cancelling it separately to avoid continued billing.

When a customer places an order on your station's page, you'll receive an instant notification in your WaterHub POS dashboard. From there you can:

  • View the full order details β€” items, quantity, delivery address
  • Confirm or update the order status
  • Assign a rider for delivery orders
  • Mark the order as delivered and collect payment

The customer receives automatic status updates at each step, so there's less need for manual follow-up calls.

No. WaterHub does not take any commission from your sales. You keep 100% of every transaction. We earn through flat subscription fees for the POS system β€” not by taking a cut of your revenue.

This is one of the key differences between WaterHub and other marketplace platforms.

πŸ’§ Zero commission. Always. Your revenue is yours.
