I'd say this water is about average as water taste goes, but great when all things (like price) are considered. You won't find bottled water cheaper than this. We live in south Florida where hurricanes can sometimes knock out utilities for days, so I buy 5 cases of this water every year just to keep in my garage for emergency. If we don't use it over the year, my wife uses it to water houseplants. During the year I probably use another 3 or 4 cases for parties and to give the lawn guys. There's a date on each case, and on each bottle, which is great. The 'best by' date is usually good for about a year.

One case of 40 16.9 fl oz bottles of members mark purified water, item 561914,had an odd taste to it, somewhat like flowers or fruit. Stamped on package: Best by 14SEP2025 ALN3 2031. I ended up throwing them out. Don't care about the money, just wish they'd have better quality control with their provider.

I only drink this water cold as I did with the spring water I was drinking. Spring water became too expensive so tried this. It tastes good for it not being spring water and you can use water flavoring products to enhance the taste which I do. It is very well priced.

I know many companies are trying to be more environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of plastic in their bottles... but come on... these can hardly be called bottles, you might as well call them bags, they are so thin. I have many times spilled water by trying to pick up a full bottle and the plastic is so thin that water spills out all over the floor. Notice how the bottles must be transported with cardboard around the bottom, unlike the previous model (Model #02847). Model # 02847 was great! We honestly kept our Sam's Membership just because of the great deal on water. We probably will not be renewing this year as this new model is useless. Please bring Model # 02847 back to stores!

Bought 2 cases of water today. The water bottles had a terrible metallic, wet dog, and funky river smell to it. It tasted gross and left my tongue tingling. I became worried about bacteria inside, so I stopped drinking it. Tossed it and will shop elsewhere for water. I've always bought my bottled water from Sam's club. These products that I've recently purchased have left me betrayed and mortified at the quality control. This type of quality is not justified for sam's club!

I bought 3 packs of these and I opened a bottle and it tasted like dog!!! I smelled it and it had an odor, the seal was untampered. So I tried a bottle from each pack all of them had the same problem. None of these bottles were tampered with they all had the seal..members mark I will never trust it again!!!

I was extremely happy when I was trying to checkout ( scan and go), and for some reason, I couldn’t complete the transaction. I got the attention of Ella, I believe, she possibly was a supervisor and she came to my aid. She actually had to restart my order and she stayed with me until she was sure I wouldn’t have any more problems. I have had this problem or similar problems in the past & every employee I have asked had totally helped me out. Kudos to the team at the Sam’s in Thornton on Grant street!

This review concerns the actual bottle design. The bottle is extremely thin plastic. The cap is very small and thin making it difficult to grip; so when having to use too much force to remove the cap, the paper thin bottle gets squeezed in getting water everywhere. They do not close securely as well causing leakage if they fall over. The price is great, and the water tastes okay, however, I will be going back to Dasani with its “plant bottle” packaging because the bottles and caps are well made and sturdy.

This water tastes good, don't have a problem with the caps like other reviewers. My complaint, is the quality of the bottles. I bought a case a week ago, and the plastic has been made so thin, that so far 4 of the bottles have sprung leaks. Two while they were still in packaging. I'm all about reducing my carbon footprint, but I'll buy the more pricey brand and get a bottle that isn't quite so cheap. We reuse the bottles and this isn't a bottle I'm interested having around my house/car/kids for any length of time.

The water tastes slightly salty. If you take a look at the ingredients, purified water, calcium chloride, and sodium bicarbonate, that literally translates to water, salt, and baking soda. The water is okay when it's cold, but warm is an entirely different story. The only great thing is how affordable it is.
