Primo

reviewed by HomeArts

Everybody knows drinking water is good for them, and now Primo Water makes it easier than ever. From a convenient and stylish cooler in your home or office, you can enjoy five great-tasting gallons of our purified water any time you like.

Primo Five (5) Gallon Bulk Bottled Water

We purchased a new water cooler recently and also purchased this 5 gallon jug with water from Primo. The water has a distinct "plastic" taste that is seriously off-putting. We plan to refill it at the water store down the street and hope that a different water brand will not have the same taste - although we suspect that leaching from the Primo plastic bottle may well ruin any water that ends up in it. If a second batch proves to taste like plastic we will be ditching this bottle and going with another product. We didn't purchase a water cooler and bottled water so that we could taste plastic.....

@HomeArts - I have also purchased Primo Water along with using a new cooler in my home...I had the same issue and found out it was the new cooler causing the problem. I took the bottle of Primo off the cooler and poured it straight into a clean glass and it was not the water. Primo also uses Polycarbonate bottles for all their water which is an industry standard and most likely what any other competitor bottle is made of. I suggest following the directions on the cooler for proper cleaning. I have been drinking Primo for years now and not had any issues with the water.
