The recent merger of Primo Water and BlueTriton (formerly ReadyRefresh) has sent ripples through the office water delivery industry. As these giants consolidate, many businesses are experiencing the predictable consequences: service disruptions, price increases, and the loss of familiar delivery drivers who knew their needs.

But there's a bigger story here—one that goes beyond corporate mergers and acquisitions.

The Fundamental Flaw of Traditional Delivery

The jug delivery model has always been problematic. It requires:

• Constant truck routes burning fuel
• Storage space for full and empty jugs
• Staff time to manage deliveries and inventory
• Dealing with missed deliveries and emergency orders
• The physical strain of lifting 42-pound jugs

When delivery companies merge, these existing pain points only intensify. Routes get reorganized. Service windows change. Prices inevitably rise as competition decreases.

The Hidden Costs Add Up

Most businesses don't realize the true cost of jug delivery goes far beyond the invoice. Consider:

• Lost Productivity: Employees spending time managing water inventory
• Workplace Injuries: Lifting heavy jugs causes back strain and accidents
• Space Inefficiency: Valuable square footage devoted to water storage
• Environmental Impact: Diesel trucks making weekly rounds to every office

A Permanent Solution to Temporary Problems

Bottleless water systems eliminate the entire delivery drama. No trucks. No jugs. No storage. No scheduling. Just pure, filtered water on demand, directly from your existing water line.

The technology has evolved dramatically in recent years. Modern bottleless systems offer:

• Advanced multi-stage filtration
• Hot, cold, and ambient temperature options
• Touchless dispensing for hygiene
• Smart monitoring for maintenance needs
• Consistent water quality without contamination risks

Making the Switch

The merger-driven disruptions many offices are experiencing right now present an opportunity. Instead of shopping for another jug delivery service—and inheriting the same structural problems—forward-thinking businesses are going bottleless.

At Pure Point, we've helped hundreds of companies make this transition. The result? They save money, reduce their environmental footprint, and never worry about water delivery again.

The question isn't whether to switch from your current delivery service. It's whether you want to solve the problem once and for all.
