The Hidden Costs of Bottled Water Delivery (and Why Richmond Businesses Are Switching to Pure Water Virginia)

Sure, bottled water delivery might seem convenient—until it’s not. Whether it’s hidden fees, surprise shortages, or wasted time, many Richmond businesses are realizing the model is outdated. Using the “old delivery” model, like Diamond Springs and Primo, made sense back in the 1980s.

But what’s driving the switch to Pure Water Virginia isn’t just about saving money.

It’s about something more profound: trust, health, and a sense of peace of mind.

Why Bottled Water Delivery Fails Modern Offices

Let’s look beyond the invoice.

You’re paying for water… You already have.
You’ve got water flowing into your building already. Why pay someone to bring you more of the same in a plastic bottle?

You’re relying on trucks instead of technology.
If a driver’s sick or a route gets cut, your team goes thirsty.

You’re trusting plastic over purification.
How long has that jug been sitting in a warehouse? Days? Weeks? In the heat?


So, Why Is Pure Water Virginia a Better Choice?

1. Because You Deserve to Know What’s in Your Water

Our bottleless coolers don’t just chill tap water. They transform it.

Every drop passes through a 5-stage purification system that includes:

  • Sediment filtration – Removes dirt, rust, and debris
  • Pre-carbon filtration – Traps chlorine, chemicals, and odors
  • Reverse osmosis membrane – Strips out lead, arsenic, PFAS, fluoride, and more
  • Post-carbon polish – Enhances taste and clarity
  • UV or LED purification – Neutralizes bacteria and viruses in real time

This isn’t a filter—it’s a complete purification process.

Your employees receive fresh, clean, high-quality hydration every single time.


2. Because Running Out of Water Shouldn’t Be a Normal Occurrence

Let’s be real—your office manager shouldn’t have to send out “we’re out of water” emails.

With Pure Water Virginia:

  • No deliveries to miss
  • No jugs to store or lift
  • No waiting on hold to report a problem

You get a direct connection to a local company that maintains your system, ensuring you always have pure water and never run out.


3. Because Your Team’s Health Is More Than a Line Item

Water is one of the most important benefits you can give your team—and one of the easiest to get wrong.

Contaminated jugs, infrequent cleaning, or warm storage environments can turn hydration into a health risk. Our coolers eliminate those concerns with:

  • Sealed systems that protect against contamination
  • Touchless options that reduce germ spread
  • On-demand purification—no sitting, no staleness

4. Because Sustainability Isn’t Just a Buzzword

Every time you eliminate a plastic jug, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, decrease landfill waste, and minimize unnecessary production.

Pure Water Virginia is proud to help Richmond businesses:

  • Reduce their carbon footprint
  • Eliminate single-use plastics
  • Set an example for sustainability in the workplace

It’s better for your people—and the planet.

Don’t Just Save Money. Start Making Sense.

This isn’t just a switch in service. It’s a shift in mindset.

  • From reactive to proactive
  • From delivery to on-demand
  • From plastic waste to purified sustainability
