I have become aware of my need for disaster preparedness in the last year. Fema and others recommend two gallons of water per person per day as a minimum. This 32 count pak of 16.9 oz. bottles multiplies to a total volumn of 4.2 gallons. Since our home consists of the wife and I, these paks represent a total of a days supply of emergency water. A few years ago I sold whole home water purification systems and became aware through testing that Aquafina and Dasani were the most pure waters on the market. There are reviews here negative to the structure of the new bottles and they are accurate concerning bottle rigidity but this was the companies response to the public outcry of possible leached chemical byproducts from the previous containers. For the individual wanting to purchase the most pure water sold at a great value this is it.

I am a vending operator. The new bottle design does not work in pop machines. The product Sam's recommends does not work in pop machines either. All vending operators I have spoken to have switched suppliers the same as I have. Steve

I use bottled water for everything: cooking, drinking and making the baby's formula. I could not ask for a better value.

Use to be able to vend this product in pop machines. They have changed the package so now you can't. So I am buying Ozarka 16oz water that is a from a different supplier. You do carry a water that is suppose to be vendable. Labeled and marketed to your buyer as such. Doesn't work. Bottle is to flimsy. The bottle is 20oz. When the bottles are stacked on their sides, they collapse and cause jams. Most vendors are using 12oz can machines which the smaller bottles (16oz) will vend from.You can get Ozarka 16oz bottles. They come from the same supplier you get Pure life water, just packaged under a different name. Nestle. I know the other vendors who shop here are buying elsewhere because they are buying what I am ordering from a different supplier. I know of 3 vendors who know ]onger buy water from Sams Club. Between the 3 of us, 20-25 cases of water a week.

The "con" or disadvantage to the 50% less plastic is that the bottles fall over. I load the shelf in the refrigerator with these bottles and they wobble around the shelf. After you open a bottle of this healthy great tasting purified water with the reduced plastic bottle just don't toss the cap if you plan on sitting the bottle down on a table top as the bottom of the bottle tends to become uneven and the sides tend to cave in. Best used in a secondary drinking vessel. Still a good value for the great water.

THE ONLY ISSUES I HAVE IS, WHEN I LIKE AN ITEM, IT SEEMS THEN SAMS CLUB STOPS HAVING THE ITEM, I JUST SHOPPED TODAY AT FARGO, ND SAMS CLUB AND THE TUNA KITS I LOVE ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 6 TIMES NOW. VERY FRUSTRATING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN GOOD SELLERS.......WHY DOES CORPORATE KEEP REMOVING GOOD ITEMS?? WHEN I SHOP IT IS FOR ITEMS I FIND I REALLY LOVE, THEN GO BACK AND BACK FOR THEM. VERY MADDENING WHEN THEY ARE GONE. LIKE THE MORREYS SALMON IS NOW GONE TOO

I have never purchased a pack this big for this wonderful price. The value is also great. If you buy this at any other store you wouldn't get nearly as much and you would be paying a couple of dollars extra too.

This water is good. And the price is right. at lee than $.20 per bottle, it is hard to find a better deal.
