At DrinkMore Water, we carry two different types of bottles - BPA-free PET bottles and glass bottles and we carry them in both the 3-gallon and 5-gallon sizes. Our BPA-free bottles are made from PET - more technically known as polyethylene terapthalate.  Most importantly, they are great bottles with convenient carrying handles imbedded into each one of the 5-gallon bottles.  And, of course, they contain ZERO BPA.  Originally, most of our bottles were made from polycarbonate, but as a company, we made the decision more than four years ago to eliminate all of the polycarbonate bottles from our inventory.  Both our 3-gallon and 5-ga

Update 2013: (Summary) The EPA has, in fact, decided to regulate perchlorate under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).  The decision reverses a 2008 preliminary determination, and considers input from almost 39,000 public commenters related to perchlorate. This decision is basically putting people on notice but, in and of itself, does not in itself impose any requirements on public water systems. However, this action initiates a process to develop and establish a national primary drinking water regulation. Once the regulation is finalized, public tap water systems will be required to take action to comply with the regulation in accordance with the schedule specified in the regulation. (Comment) So, it is worth asking the question.  Today, almost 6 years later, the EPA has decided to regulate a chemical found in tap water.  They have yet to

Hormones and Pharmaceutical Drugs In Our Tap Water - Really? Well, according to a report by the Associated Press, that's the conclusion from a study of 24 municipal tap waters - yes, small quantities of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, hormones, mood stabilizers, and other drugs - are in our drinking water supplies. According to WebMD, who reviewed the AP report, these are obvious potential causes for concern.  Even the NRDC - which is not a big fan of bottled water to say the least - weighs in with concerns.  I have quoted (using quotation marks) various parts of the WebMD article

What Is Distilled Water?

We often get this question from potential customers and the reasons this question gets asked are at least twofold.  Let's explore each of those reasons in more detail. 5-Gallon Bottles So some people ask the question of whether plastic 5-gallon bottles can be safely reused.  The answer is a resounding yes!  All of our plastic 5-gallon (and 3-gallon) jugs are made from 100% PET (BPA-free).  They're thick and sturdy.  When we receive empty bottles back from customers, each and every bottle gets visually inspected and then sniffed for odd odors.  Why do we do that?  Because we never know what people have done with our bottles after drinking the contents!  And we've seen it all.  Kids put crayons in them.  There can be leaves in them.  I've seen them returned having been used to make grain alcohol punch - you name it and we've seen it!  That's why we
