Which company has the best (and safest drinking) home delivery bottled water service?
Arrowhead
Sparkletts
Alhambra
Poland Spring
Zephyr Hills
If there are any others I didn't mention,please tell me what they are and if they are good?
I'm also wanting your help to tell me if the water is safe to drink, is the company enviro-friendly, etc.
Thanks Yelpers!1/15/2009 -

San Francisco may just have some of the best tapped water anywhere.
Certainly as good as any bottled I can imagine.

we don't have statistics on a specific company's toxin percentages. i assume you can google that and get a better sense of it.
while convenient, it's definitely more enviro-friendly to not have delivery, that's a huge waste of resources. if you are concerned about taste or metals, etc, just get a brita filter for your tap. altho municipal water supplies have minimum requirements that they must maintain, bottled water has no such requirements. thus, many bottled water comp's have worse water than what you can get from the tap. for example, arrowhead, which is the cheapest of those listed above, uses LA tap water. much of that water is diverted from nor-cal. add the time spent bottling it, the trucks driving to each house, the resources of the water bottles, etc, it doesn't seem worth it to me.1/15/2009 -

I have to say...after tasting the tap water in L.A. (blech) and Chicago (double blech), we are soooooo lucky.
But I wouldn't mind a filtration system if I were sure it didn't filter out flouride. Anybody know about that?1/15/2009 -
