Step 1: Register once with Walstroom

Register via this website (first time only) as a Walstroom user. After registration you can use any Walstroom point at local applicable rates. A Walstroom point can be for stay (mooring), power connection or water tap. All Walstroom points have a unique four-digit number, which you can use to turn them on and off using the following steps.

 

Step 2: Start power supply or water tap, or pay for stay

Select your location.

Select the right service (Stay, Electricity, or Water).

Activate the service using the four-digit number of the Walstroom point using:

  • The Walstroom app (for smartphone of tablet) or

  • The website: log in with your e-mail address and password (at the top of the page)

Paying for stay

You must first pay for stay before using electricity or water.

Your stay, power, and water remain activated until the moment you switch them off.

The 24-hour period for your stay starts at the moment you activate (for example at 6:10 pm) and is valid until 24 hours later (in this example 6:09 pm the following day). At some locations, only the overnight stay is paid for, which means that the hours during the day are free. You can find more information on the signs at location.

Water

The tap for drinking water has a maximum duration or a maximum number of liters (shown at the water tap).

Electricity

Connect your power cable to the Walstroom point you want to activate. After activation the blue LED ring lights up (if available).

 

Step 3: Turn off power supply or water tap or end stay

You can end your stay, or turn off power and water in the same ways as you started them (see step 2).

You can keep track of the costs via a daily email or SMS (you can change these settings on your personal page of the website or the app).

In addition, you can check your current use and the status of your connections and stay on both the site and app.

IMPORTANT: by removing the power cable from the socket, your Walstroom session has not finished! You must always turn off using the app, website of phone.

 

Payments

You pay afterwards using one of our payment methods which you have chosen during registration.

  • By far the easiest payment method is to set up a direct debit. At the end of the month, the amount is automatically debited from your bank account. You will receive an email with your invoice which has already been paid.

  • If you did not opt for direct debit, you will receive an email with your invoice and a payment link at the end of each month. Via iDeal, Sofort, Mr. Cash of credit card (MasterCard or VISA) you can then pay the outstanding amount.

You can always view your invoice in your personal page on our website (log in at the top of this page). Here you can also change your payment method.

Use Walstroom with credit card without prior registration

You can also use Walstroom without registration by paying directly with credit card. There are additional costs involved of €1,00 per transaction. As an unregistered user, you can only use the 088-numbers for activation and deactivation of Walstroom points, and you can not activate or access current information using the app or website. You will also not receive an invoice in this case. Only credit cards from MasterCard and VISA are accepted.

 

What to do in case of a technical fault?

Occasionally, the device may not activate. This may be for several reasons, some of which you can solve yourself. If you notice a defect or fault, please contact us.

Check status of point

You can check the status of a Walstroom point via the app or website; if the status is 'not available', the relevant point is under maintenance and therefore not available. It is best to find another Walstroom point nearby.

Reset the circuit breaker

All Walstroom connections are equipped with a circuit breaker. This switch is usually located behind a transparent access panel in the pedestal or cabinet. The circuit breaker should show red; this means that the voltage can be switched on. If the color of the switch is green or gray, the circuit breaker is switched off and no power will be available. You can reset the circuit breaker yourself by opening the access panel (often by loosening 2 screws) and switch back to red and close the panel afterwards.

Make sure that you first solve the earth leak problem on the user side!

No need to rush

There may sometimes be a short delay before a connection point activates or deactivates. This usually only takes a few seconds, however when there is a higher demand on the network, this might take slightly longer. In case you have turned off the transaction using the app, site or phone, yet the connection point doesn't appear to turn off, there is no need to contact us. The system has registered your 'off'-request and the transaction will have been terminated automatically; the next costumer will not receiving his power or water courtesy of you!
