If you’re attracted to the personal and environmental benefits of green living, it’s time to investigate home and office water delivery. Billions of single-serve water bottles are sold each year, resulting in enormous piles of landfill plastic. Home water delivery supplies a fresh, healthy alternative to tap water and bottled water—without contributing to excessive plastic waste.

Water Delivery Services: The Obvious Advantages

In addition to preventing the wasteful use of disposable plastic water bottles, home and office water delivery offers customers other ways of impacting the environment and influencing their health. Consider the following benefits:

1. Reduce, recycle, reuse: When you receive home water delivery, your three- to five-gallon plastic bottle won’t end up in the landfill. Instead, reputable water services will sanitize and reuse your water bottle to ensure a lengthy life expectancy.
2. Bottle-free options: Many office water delivery services offer jug-free water coolers that plumb into existing water lines, filtering water without the need for bottles. In addition to avoiding plastic waste, these systems prevent home and business owners from having to store and handle large, heavy water jugs.
3. Reducing your carbon footprint: When you order home or office water delivery from a local distributor, you’ll reduce the transportation costs and negative environmental impact caused by trucking bottled water from several cities—or states—away.
4. Contaminant-free drinking source: If you dislike the taste and smell of your tap water or are concerned about the presence of pollutants, home water delivery is a safe, contaminant-free drinking option. And as a bonus—when you sign up for office delivery, you’ll provide employees with a healthy, on-site alternative to sodas and other sugary drinks.

Recently Vetter’s, Inc., a Culligan Water dealer located in the Quad Cities has obtained licensing rights to produce and distribute PURELOCK™, a home and office water system that operates using “bagged water.”

The PURELOCK™ system uses a single-use, three-gallon bag that does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), a common additive in the production of polycarbonate and PET water bottles. Furthermore, the bags are made of an FDA-approved, 100%-recyclable, low-density polyethylene that can be attached to an existing water cooler through an upgraded cooler top. Lastly, the water used in the PURELOCK™ units is the same used to fill the bottles.

“As a leader in the local water industry and business community, we feel it is our responsibility to continually provide our customers with cutting edge technology and more eco-friendly alternatives,” says Marty McCarthy, vice president of Vetter’s, Inc. “This product offers added levels of convenience and sanitation, plus it drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with most polycarbonate and PET bottles.”

In addition to the environmental impact of this new technology, Vetter’s Inc. customers see many everyday benefits. For example, each PURELOCK™ unit weighs approximately 20 lbs. less than existing five-gallon bottles, making them much easier for anyone to lift onto their cooler.

McCarthy also points out that the storage of bags is much easier than that of five-gallon bottles.

Moreover, “bagged water” technology positively affects the overall function of the water cooler. For instance, the PURELOCK™ system reduces the airflow necessary to operate existing systems. This reduction of airflow can lead to less bacteria buildup over time, and consequently result in a healthier drinking system. In addition, the cooler upgrade unit is easily removable and is dishwasher safe making it easy to clean any time.

“All in all, this is a great product that offers the consumer so many added values,” added McCarthy. “In a value-driven and environmentally-conscious world, we feel this product is an example of creative problem solving and an example of our commitment to our community and customers.”

Vetter’s, Inc. currently services most of Eastern Iowa and parts of Western Illinois. For a limited time, the company is providing upgrade units free of charge.

An article from last summer at cbc.ca outlines some common problems Winnipeg residenta have with their drinking water.

Winnipeggers are holding their noses yet again to fend off the distinctive musty smell and taste that often plague the city’s tap water in the summer.

Winnipeg’s water has an odd taste for a few weeks almost every year due to seasonal algae growth in Shoal Lake, a 227-square-kilometre lake on the Manitoba-Ontario border that provides Winnipeg’s drinking water.

Despite its unpleasant taste and smell, Winnipeg tap water is still safe to drink, says Winnipeg Regional Health Authority’s medical officer of health. Tap water is routinely tested during the summer season for substances produced by algae.
