How to Choose a Water Delivery Service
Introduction
Clean and drinkable water is essential for human survival. Depending on your location, tap water might not be safe for consumption, as there are a variety or contaminants that could make their way into your local water source. The best way to combat this is to drink purified water, so a water delivery service may work perfectly for you.
There are so many options available for water delivery services, you may find it overwhelming and difficult to choose the right one. This list is meant to guide you and give an idea of important things to consider and look out for when selecting a water delivery service.
- Your overall water consumption and what kind of water you want:
When you begin your search, a good place to start is determining how much water you need and the type. Distilled, mineral, sparkling, flavored, seltzer, and purified waters are all available at varying price points. Some services have minimums for delivery that exceed what you will be able to use. The water delivery service you choose should meet all of your needs.
- How safe is the water:
When considering which service to use, it is important to research and know the purification process your service is using. Water is too important to risk getting it from a disreputable company.
- How often you would need water delivered:
Many companies allow you to choose when you need your delivery and are flexible with adding or skipping deliveries depending on your needs. However, there are others that stick to a strict delivery schedule or have contracts that dictate how much water you are required to purchase at certain times. It is important to consider your personal preferences and needs when deciding on a service.
- Price:
With so many companies and services to choose from, you can easily compare prices to determine which delivery service has a price range that matches yours. Water quality is so important for our general wellbeing, so be sure you’re getting the best combination of quality and price.
- How the water is delivered:
Most companies will deliver up to 3 gallons of water, but they can come in different forms. Some use water coolers that can be leased from the company, while others prefer to use individually bottled waters. Still others eliminate the bottle altogether and tap directly into the water source of your house or business and attach a filter, so you’re only paying for the purification. With so many choices there’s something for everyone.
Water is so important for our health and consuming bad water can cause serious harm. It is imperativethat you adequately research your options before subscribing to any water delivery service. Ask your neighbors and friends, check online, and get a trial service before committing long-term. This way, you can rest assured that you are drinking and cooking with the best water available.
