Bottled Water Delivery - 5 Tips for Going Green with Convenient Pure Water


Bottled Water Delivery is fast and convenient. Water delivery is also one approach to greener living that consumers are taking advantage of more and more.

Throughout the United States many consumers and businesses are electing to purchase bottled drinking water instead of tap or well water, whether from the grocery store in single-serve containers or from a bottled delivery service.

The bottled drinking water that is provided by delivery services typically comes in 3 or 5-gallon bottles that can be used by the consumer, then picked up by the water bottle provider, sanitized, sterilized, repackaged, and sent back to the consumer. Taking advantage of a water delivery service at home and in the office, as well as promoting and recycling plastic bottles, are two ways in which you can go green.

Tip # 1 Delivery from a Nearby Supplier

For water delivery at the office, compare the prices of national and local delivery services. Because the cost of delivered bottled water is heavily influenced by the cost of transportation, a supplier located close to your home or office will give you the best service and delivered price.

Bottled water offers a healthy alternative to other beverages that container sugar and calories or tap water that contains contaminants, and home and office water delivery offers ease and convenience to consumers and businesses. Among the types of bottled water, spring water is subject to the same contaminants as tap water. The only difference is that the chlorine taste and odor is filtered out.

A small number of suppliers offer purified water which is required by law to be 99.9% pure. Purified water is better for your family's health and the environment and costs no more than spring water.

Simplify water purchases with office delivery with the same water you receive at home. Better prices are usually available for home delivery if you are an employee of an office delivery customer.

Tip # 3 - Bigger is not Always Better

Bottled water delivery is basically a service business and the supplier must be sensitive to the needs of the customer for changes in the number of bottles, suspension of deliveries during vacation times and other matters that are important to the customer.

Unfortunately, the largest suppliers usually offer the worst customer service. Do some research and ask around about the level of after sale customer service. Whatever you do, do NOT sign a contract with penalties for early cancellation.

Contracts are usually required by the largest suppliers and these contracts encourage sloppy service without fear of cancellation.

Tip # 4 - Order Online For Convenience

E-commerce on the Internet is a fast, convenient and safe way to order. By shopping online you can usually find the best deal and avoid the requirement of signing an unfair contract. Some companies are fully automated in a way that lets you order any time of the day.

Many suppliers, however, do not offer this service. In addition to convenience, with modern credit card technology like SSL, your purchase is risk free. On certain purchases, no sales tax is charged and this is an additional benefit.

Tip # 5 - Make Sure You Get the latest in Bottles and Accessories

The bottled water business is constantly changing with new products and accessories that make use of the product more safe and convenient. For example, new cooler technology totally eliminates water spills and, along with spill proof caps, provides convenient and sanitary water supplies.

Bottles with safety handles are another innovation to ensure that changing bottles is easy and safe. For larger users accessories like bottle racks allow the stacking of bottles in a convenient and organized way.

Unfortunately, not all suppliers offer these types of accessories because larger companies have extensive inventories of bottles and caps in the field and will not change out this inventory until the useful life of the bottles is over.

Ask any potential supplier about the design of the bottles and accessories.

The bottled water that is provided by bottled delivery services typically comes in 3 or 5-gallon bottles that can be used by the consumer, then picked up by the water bottle provider, sanitized, sterilized, repackaged, and sent back to the consumer.

Recycling plastic bottles or using a water delivery service that sanitizes bottles and then recycles them is a much better alternative for you, your family and the environment.
