Bottled Water Delivery Alternatives in South Florida

The main alternatives to bottled water delivery are pitcher or faucet filters, an under-sink reverse osmosis system with its own faucet, and whole-home treatment that improves water at every tap. For a household that drinks and cooks with a lot of water, an under-sink system is the most direct replacement for jugs. Living Water installs multi-stage alkaline reverse osmosis systems in South Florida after a free in-home water test with Jorge Canela.

Why people move away from delivery

Lifting, swapping and storing heavy jugs
Running out between deliveries
Keeping track of schedules, dispensers and deposits
Wanting filtered water for cooking, coffee and ice, not only for drinking
Wanting less plastic coming into the house

The Living Water option

Living Water's drinking-water system is a multi-stage alkaline reverse osmosis unit that installs under the sink with a dedicated faucet, for homes, offices, apartments and gyms. For homes that also want treated water in the shower and laundry, Living Water offers whole-home purification for city water. Equipment is by Puronics, a water treatment manufacturer since 1947, and financing is available through Living Water's financing partners.

South Florida considerations

Some utilities disinfect with chloramine, and some homes run on wells. Your utility's annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) lists what it tested for. A drinking-water system handles one tap; if the smell in the shower or scale on glass also bothers you, a whole-home system may be part of the answer. Condo and apartment owners should confirm building rules before plumbing changes.

Questions to ask before switching

Common questions

What is the best replacement for water delivery?

For most households that drink a lot of water, an under-sink reverse osmosis system with a dedicated faucet is the most direct replacement. Lighter users may be fine with a pitcher or faucet filter.

How do I check if a filter is certified?

Search NSF's certified drinking water treatment unit database by product type and standard, and confirm the exact model, not only the brand.

Will a home system work in a condo?

Usually, since under-sink systems are compact. Check your association's rules and the space in your sink cabinet.

Does Living Water deliver bottled water?

No. Living Water installs water treatment systems, including under-sink alkaline reverse osmosis.
