    Bacteria growth floating in unopened bottle of Alive Water

    Updating to help others avoid having the appalling, shameful, and health jeapodozing experience I've had dealing with this company over the past couple years. Worst decison ever!!! To make a long story short, I enjoyed their product in the beginning and even (regrettably) raved about it and recommended it to others. But in recent months, the quality took a rapid and sharp turn for the worst. I noticed with at least my last few deliveries the water had a strange, semi-rancid odor, and on occasion, I also noticed what looked like crystals floating in the water. I didn't think too much of it, and just sort of pushed through. Concurrently during this time period, I began to experience a sudden and rapid decline in my health, mind you I am an extremely health conscious individual, which is why I pay this company a premium for my water to begin with. But I kept getting these recurring (non-covid) bacterial respiratory infections that landed me in the ER on two separate occasions. I went 10 years straight without a single cold or flu, and then had 3 respiratory colds back to back within 8 months of each other. Additionally, my childhood asthma returned after being gone for 20 years, the Dr told me that it's extremely rare for this to happen. With my lifestyle, I couldn't figure out what was wrong or why I was continuously getting sick. Fast forward to last week, when my frustration with the smell and taste or my water coming to a head, and me deciding to post about it on yelp. Within 12 hours of that post I got a message from the business owner Chris, stating he'd be willing to compensate me for my past 3 orders if I took down the review, but also indicated that the issue was the bottling company needed to replace or change their bottle washing machines. (See attached screenshot). When I heard this I immediately began connecting the dots, poor bottle washing, rancid smelling water, and repeated bacterial throat infections. Needless to say I was livid! As the last few months my health has been so crappy that every day is a struggle, I've missed tons of work and generally still to this day have not recovered as I've been unknowingly drinking this tainted water every single day...clearly adding insult to injury. As I had one or two bottles left and nothing to replace them with I thought to myself, well at least now you know and maybe you can just use some water purification drops on the last open and unopened bottle, until you find a suitable replacement. As I went today to try and salvage the last bottle I picked it up and was horrified at the amount of crystaline(bacteria) growth present in the unopened bottle (see attached video). There was a small amount present when I first received the delivery as mentioned above that I mistakenly assumed was light refacting off the unique geometric glass engravings in the (~35$) glass bottles they ship the water in. But there was MUCH more of it now present after a couple weeks of sitting on my hallway floor. The bacteria had grown to such an extent that it looked like lemon pulp floating in the water. I've attached video so anyone doubting the sincerity of my review as well as the company itself can see for themselves. I am BEYOND upset thinking about my experience in retrospect as I have essentially been paying this company a premium to deliver a grossly inferior and downright dangerous product that has considerably comprismised my health. If you're thinking about alive water, think twice, as the water is truly alive ! I decided that refunding the last 3 deliveries was not enough compensation for all that I've been through, and I am requesting they refund all the money I've spend with them. While, I also feel like should go after them for the pain and suffering I've likely incurred due to their negligence, I haven't fully decided if I'm gonna go that route. How they handle things going forward will determine what I decide to do next. But the fact that they knew their bottler was poorly cleaning the bottles out and still continued to deliver tainted water to their customers is beyond appalling. After detailing my experience to them the only thing they had to say was, "we think it's soap residue". The vibe i got was one that reflected a lack of empathy and concern for my well being, especially to be coming from the business owner, insulting to say the least. At any rate hopefully this review prevents others from having to go through the nightmarish he'll I've been through. I would suggest taking your money and spending it with a reputable water provider, it will cost a bit more, but you won't have to deal with soap and bacteria in the water, on top of lifeless, slow, and often unresponsive customer service. Sad part is I really believed in this company and wanted to see them win, but I take my health and quality of life way to serious to risk it with people who reply to your concerns with incomplete sentences.

We put in the order with Brad, scheduled an appointment for installation and our installer was Maurice. These guys know what they are doing and they made it very easy for us. The set the expectations and we didn't have to do anything. It took us about a couple hours where we couldn't use the water but then all we had to do is flush out the air from the new system. It's the third day now and everything is working great. WHY WE CHANGED: Just got tired of increasing monthly rates and having to open the garage for the techs to switch out the tanks.

Very friendly and explained everything he was doing. Love the system and everyone we have interacted with from the company has been great! I should add that when the system was originally installed Brad and I had a discussion about my vegetable garden and what would be the best solution so as not to get too much salt into that water as it would affect and potentially burn them. The installer was able to route our hose line so that it would continue to use unsoftened water and not affect my veggie garden. We are SO appreciative of this as we love eating our home grown tomatoes!!!

The filters hadn't been changed since 2021, and the tank had completely lost pressure. I immediately changed the old filter, but the system was still not working well and the whole setup was just on its last legs. Richard and Greg came out and immediately offered to swap the tank just to see if it would salvage the old unit. When we realized the GE system wasn't worth sinking money into, we decided to upgrade and had Richard install one of his own systems. The installation was unbelievably fast, clean, and seamless. Beyond the quick service, not only are Richard and Greg incredibly knowledgeable, but they are also super nice and funny. We had a lot of laughs while learning more about drinking water and getting thoroughly educated on the new unit. We even opted to add an alkaline filter, and the difference is night and day. Now we have incredible, crisp-tasting water running straight to both our sink and our fridge, and we love it. Their pricing was exceptionally fair. I honestly expected the whole ordeal to cost a fortune, but it was completely reasonable. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we will definitely have them come back out for all of our future reverse osmosis needs. Highly, highly recommend!

My parents recently purchased the Elite ScaleSolver PowerPac and absolutely love it. They've noticed significantly less buildup on their fixtures and appliances, and the water tastes amazing from every tap. My mom especially loves not having to go downstairs in the middle of the night if she forgets her water...she can simply drink straight from the tap! Best in class, and I love the peace of mind that it's NSF/IAPMO certified from top to bottom. Highly recommend!

I also had to take apart the faucets and get the gunk off the screens. I would say I had to do every couple of months now after years of Lifesource once a year and it's not nearly as bad as it ever was before. Service calls are wonderful people show up on time know what they're doing fix what they're there to fix and are incredibly friendly. The infrequent need to change the canisters is a real plus. While, you do have to plan for those expenses, they are long lasting. over time it was less that our collective monthly expenses, especially if the maintenance by hand that was required was considered. When we were evaluating the system. It sounded expensive until I did the math on what we were paying for soft water which my husband dislikes the feel of. The difference is immediately recognizable in showers for hair and skin is something far better than I was .expecting. The water coming out of the tap is great! We do have a reverse osmosis for ice. The grey water every two weeks is used for the lawn and outside plants, so no waste and no big delivery trucks on the street on a regular basis.

While the first couple of years had its delivery bumps as they were getting their delivery system figured out, it was never anything to make me reconsider their services. Why? Because I was able to order their premium purified RO water vs. only having the option to order alkaline water. And let me tell you, I LOVE the taste of their premium purified water. Love, love, love!!! Recently I had considered switching to a local water company simply because they were a couple of dollars cheaper. I tried their RO purified water, thinking it would be the same and the switch would be easy. Boy, was I wrong! It tasted like basic spring water vs. the pleasant crystal clear flavor of TBWCo's premium purified. No joke, the flavor of their water is why I stay. It's simply the best tasting purified water I've found - it's a pleasure to drink!!! Especially considering I drink it all day every day. Since the initial wave of delivery issues some 10 years ago, I have never had issues since. I've moved multiple times. They're in my phone, we text weekly to confirm delivery. When I move the deliveries continue without a hitch to my new address. Putting a hold on deliveries is super easy when we're traveling. And the best part is, even though we've both moved locations and they've rebranded and expanded, it's still the same great tasting water as it was 10 years ago. I cannot recommend this company enough!
