a bottle brush and a tube of water

I always read the 1 star complaints. Complaints show the company's true color/ true nature/true face. If a company has no dignity, ethics, morals, the Reader will realize this, after reading the customer complaints. 3 (three) times, the owner was a NO SHOW for my annual service. Annually, he failed to detect serious deterioration of his own equipment. See 6 photos. In another words, he just didn't care for the customer. Is this discrimination? laziness? flakiness? This experience gives Persians a bad name. He will probably rebuttal- wanting to not involve personality into the business equation. And he will tell Yelp to take this review down. Nobody is an Angel from 9-5pm. then turn into the Devil from 5pm to 9am. How a human does one thing, is how a human does everything.

There is a floating organism in my water.

There is a floating organism in my water. I was offered one replacement bottle. The last time I called for a delivery, they forgot my order. The manager wasn't compassionate or concerned about the inconsistencies of my experience recently and I will have to consider switching companies. I was also referred to by a neighbor who has been seeing inconsistencies lately. I am grossed out and my health is my number one priority.

Thanks for the prompt response Avi - I think you missed my first question, which is, are all your waters reverse osmosis? Thank you again!

Yes, they are all reverse osmosis.

Are all your waters available at the filling stations reverse osmosis? Also, if I don't want any added trace minerals would the premium purified be the best option?

Hi, thank you for your interest in The Better Water Company. Yes, all of our waters (Premium Purified, Premium Alkaline and the Oxygen Alkaline) are all available at the filling station. Yes, the Premium Purified would be the water without trace…

Your bottles are still being filled by our team members. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have been trying to sign up for Mountain Valley Spring water delivery for over two months. First,…read morethey lacked sufficient bottles. Then, when I mentioned my Costco membership, they brusquely referred me to Costco.com and said there was nothing they could do. Unfortunately, Costco does not offer Mountain Valley Spring water delivery, only other Primo brands, and I'm back to square one. This lengthy, disappointing process prompted me to read the reviews, and after I realised who would fulfil my orders when I signed up, I decided against it. Thankfully, the signup process was awful enough to save me from further headaches. I was communicating with an "acquisition specialist" in Arkansas who either sends long, templated emails or one-liners--disinterested and challenging to work with. Avoid.

Re: PRIMO BRANDS - Water delivery…read more This company is horrible!!! I have been transferred 4 times and disconnected and I have been on hold for over 2 hours. They are rude and don't seem to care about their customers, it is a horrible business. They have also raised their prices and sneak extra charges they don't tell you about. I should have been charged $32 (this is my bill) but then I discovered I was charged $48. I was told it was for delivery fees, but delivery was already included in that $32. What they say don't make sense, and they aren't honest, so I would be very aware of this company. Even Costco and Sam's Club sell water for $5, so save your time and sanity! I will never work with this water company again (sparkletts and primo is now one company) they merged!!! HORRIBLE

But while my husband and I were changing out an empty 5-gallon bottle, we noticed a white, thumb-sized fleck floating at the bottom. At first I assumed it was just a piece of plastic from the cap, so we emptied the bottle to check. To my absolute horror, it was a slug. We had been drinking water from that bottle for the past week with a SLUG floating in it. I gagged immediately. It was absolutely disgusting and alarming. Another reviewer mentioned finding a paintbrush and pencil at the bottom of their bottle, and I wish I found that than this. How sanitary is their bottling and quality control process if a slug can end up inside a sealed bottle unnoticed? I'm still sick over it. I wish I had taken a picture, but I was so disgusted that I immediately dumped it down the sink. Going to refill my own water from now on, at least I can see the cleanliness with my own eyes that way.

I just wanted to let you know this is a REAL genuine review and that I wanted to wait a bit before…read morejumping the gun and giving them a great review right away( believe me it's been tough, they are so great). It's been about 9 months since I've been dealing with them, and it's safe to say I have a pretty good idea on how they do business and treat their customers. First off, the owner I think, King his name, flipping WONDERFUL! My first couple of deliveries came from him and it's just great ! Always on time, and whenever I had an issue, whether it be with the cooler , or with the bottle, he would remedy the issue right away!( +1 for customer service). Plus on occasion, I'd get free bottle here and there. Second, compared to other big name companies, their pricing is honestly pretty competitive, plus it makes me feel better knowing that I'm supporting and "mom and pop" company. Third, prior to subscribing to them, I used to reuse my same bottle and go refill it myself at whichever local water store I came across. Aside from being lazy to continue picking up the water myself, one day when I removed my bottle, I peaked in my cooler and noticed that there was green nasty MOSS growing in there ! A cooler that I've only had for about 2-3months ! So all this time I've been drinking moss water ! Which leads me to my point.. I read somewhere online that the local water shops don't really clean their filters or whatever , which is why the moss grow...well.. I've been with Privé for 9 months now and my cooler is still squeaky clean !! ( first cooler got replaced almost right away , probably a defect with that one, but I've been using my second cooler ever since with no issues !) All in all, great damn company . Water tastes like clean filtered water, but I mainly am subscribed with them because of their customer service !! FIVE STARS !!!

We also got the reverse osmoses system under the kitchen sink to further clean the water. This was such an easy and smooth process. 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. Also the Pro Water system does filter out more than the water softener we had.

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!!!

I found parking in the front but learned after my visit that there is additional parking in the rear--using that option next time. I ordered the Thai Tea Matcha and the Peach Cobbler Matcha, both iced with oat milk--both tasty! The flavors were nuanced especially the spices in the peach cobbler syrup. Not over sweet--major plus. The matcha was prominent and was vibrant in color. First time having Thai Tea with matcha and it works! The earthiness from the matcha brings out the tea flavor, IMO. I highly recommend! The menu features a variety of signature drinks, including Rosemary Fig and Blueberry Chai. Additionally, they offer cold brew, drip coffee and espresso-based drinks. Drinks might be in a rotation so there is something new to try to every week. The place is spacious, the decor is inviting and complimentary Wi-FI is available. I also purchased a shirt and my total came to $78, including tax and tip. I plan to return! Support local and shop small!

I tried their Blueberry Matcha and their Peach Cobbler - Both were not too sweet, and it really tasted like I was drinking a blended peach cobbler pie and blended blueberries. I think the magic is in how the owner makes the syrup - It tastes authentic to what the name is. I think this is the best flavored matcha drinks in the South Bay. It doesn't have a manufactured taste to it, I swear the syrups are home made LOL. I love the atmosphere inside - Hanging plants, artwork on the walls, good vibes all around. There's a lounge in the back but I didn't check it out. Service was fast and friendly. Will be a repeat customer!
