Amazing place to grab Alkaline water by the gallon...

Amazing place to grab Alkaline water by the gallon! I've always had to purchase alkaline water from Fresh and Easy by the 32 oz. water bottles, and those can get pricey after a while. Compare to the 3-gallon jugs I get for about the same price, and the water sold here are a STEAL! You can't beat that.

PARKING/HOURS: Depending on your timing, you can either get lucky with parking in front, or having to park across the street (2 spaces across the street are dedicated to Carlsbad Alkaline water customers only). If all are taken, I usually end up waiting for about 2-3 minutes before someone pulls out of their spot. Not too bad. All of the customers are parked just so they can refill their gallons. What's great is their water service is 24-hours, BUT if you need to speak to an employee, they are there only during their hours of operation. I love how it's accessible 24-hours though. I sometimes end up going here really late at night with no problems at all.

WATER QUALITY : Amazing! I love their water here. Anyone reading this who is wondering what alkaline water does for your body, (as opposed to regular drinking water), look it up! The difference is HUGE. I forget the pH level of the water here, but it's consistently silky.

PRICE: They did raise their prices once since my husband and I first started coming here 2 years ago. Filling up a 3-gallon is still cheaper than buying a single bottle of alkaline water elsewhere though. :) Can't beat that price.

LOCATION: My only downside, which really isn't a downside. I live in the Golden Triangle area so it's quite a drive up to Carlsbad Village, but still worth it and not even an issue. I bought several 3-gallon jugs from them (they sell 1-gallon, 3-gallon, and 5-gallon. 5-gallon jugs would be too heavy for me to carry upstairs to my apartment, so I've opted for 4 3-gallon jugs, and 1 1-gallon jug. Because of having this many, I don't really have to make too many trips to this place. Only when they're all empty, or I'm down to the last jug. :)

WATER PORTIONS: The machines pour out the water in either 1-gallon, 3-gallons, and 5-gallons. There's also an ozone rinse you do before you refill your jugs. Since it's all computerized, there've been times when my 3-gallon water purchase will literally overflow to what feels like 3.5 gallons, so err on the side of caution when it's about to reach the top. I close the plastic door shut just in case it does. Other times, it'll be just right. And a few times, it seems to be missing about a quarter gallon more, but I leave it alone. There has been a customer who's complained about this while I was there (minding my business, but can't help to eavesdrop because they were complaining to the employee really loud). Eh. I digress. It's ALKALINE WATER! I love it here, so I can't complain.
