Let’s name names. Culligan is the old reliable—expect $6 to $9 per bottle with a monthly rental fee. They’re like that friend who always shows up on time, but talks about their lawnmower a lot.
Primo (the one in Walmart) is cheaper, around $5 per bottle, and you can swap jugs at the store. No delivery, though. It’s water, but with a side of errand-running.
ReadyRefresh (by Nestlé) is the cool kid. They deliver to your door, have a fancy app, and charge $7 to $10 per bottle with a minimum order. Their customer service is great, but their prices might make you gasp mid-sip.
Rising Water Utility Bills Expected to Go Higher
And then there are local companies—the unsung heroes. They often beat big brand prices by 10% to 20%. Just Google “water delivery near me” and pray they have decent Yelp reviews.
