FAQ's about our business opportunity
Q: Is this a full-time job?
A: No. As an independent distributor, you are your own boss (Please read: You are not an employee). You decide on what you want to achieve and how much time and how much effort you will pour into the business. You are free to choose to go part time or full time or work during weekends or evenings only.
Q: What makes this business different from other traditional businesses?
A: With the Waters business, you have no fixed overheads for rent or logistics like computers or salaries of staff. Expenses for brochures, receipts and other sales tools (which are prepared by the company) are variable investments. With Waters, you have a personal sponsor to help you jumpstart the business plus management support to provide you with accounting assistance for computation for commissions or EDP support to encode and track family tree reports, among others.

Q: Is this the same as water refilling stations?
A: No. With refilling stations, you still have to buy and stock-up on 5-gallon bulk bottles and dispensers. With the Waters Bio Mineral Pot, you can purify and mineralize your ordinary tap water through a series of filters and you get clean, healthful and delicious drinking water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water whenever and wherever you want it. No need to wait for bottled water delivery, no more back-breaking lifting of big bottles, no more need for extra storage space to store bulk bottles. And with the Waters Bio Mineral Pot, you own your own unit!
