The rating is for the bottle themselves. Without fail every time we purchase the water the containers leak water in the holders. So if you have a stand that keeps them on the side be aware.

Good water, bottles need redesign. They don't have a HANDLE. i AM 71 yrs. old and need the handle its hard to pick them up even though I have a bottom fill machine.

As a 69 year old woman, the; gallon size is so which easier for me to handle and I was able to cancel my monthly water service. The water is purified To Perfection. Thank you Sam's for always having it going on.

Hidden Inflation. They used to sell 5 Gallon bottles for roughly the same price. So 4 gallons for the same price is hidden inflation. Looks like a big bottle of water and if you aren't paying attention, you'd hardly notice!

The PRIMO water cooler is one of the best purchases I've ever made and it is convenient that Sam's Club sells this 4gallon water that fits right inside the cooler. This water taste great to me!

Great water, very clean taste...deserves a 5 star. Only drawback is the bottle goes into our recycle bin, wish is about 3 a week plus all other items to be recycled. Unfortunately, there's no exchange at Sam's Club.

Excellent taste, would have given 5 stars, however, I’m disappointed with the 4 gal non-reusable bottle, why not use the 5 gal reusable bottle. Makes no sense to discard the bottle and add to the climate change problem

I just love fresh cold water. This 5gallon jug takes care of so many things. I cook with it wash dishes and soak my fruit . The taste is so clean and smells amazing. I recommend this water for the family .

My family and I love this water! It's a go to for us b/c it's fresh tasting coming out of the water cooler and it lasts us a lot longer than 2-3 cases of water.

I like the taste of the water, but HATE the material of the bottle, It is so thin that it collapses under the weight of the remaining water inside as you dispense water from it (From a jug on top water cooler). BRING BACK MONADNOCK water!
