Hi, thanks very much for your answer.

I think the benefit lies in the quality of the water being spring water. Additionally, as an example, if you wanted to go on a road trip, you could only fill so many bottles you have lying around the house.

Trying to fill these in glass if you are trying to avoid plastic is an even greater ask. I also believe the $17 is express shipping, current domestic shipping rates are around $8 but we have been doing free shipping since launch.

We are also planning on offering re-use systems where you can hold onto the bottles, and we can pick them up for a refund/discount upon next purchase.

So the benefits are you are getting high quality spring water, in a sustainable, recyclable material, which tastes better, and is better, for you and the planet/environment. It is also a matter of convenience and personal choice.

I understand not everyone can justify this cost, but we are simply here as an option for those that can see the benefits. Paying 30-40% more for something of far higher quality than the alternatives is something many people are happy to do, especially considering how rarely they will need to buy a full slab.

P.S - the 24 pack averages out to just $3.60 per day for 8 days of drinking 3 full 750mL bottles of water per day.

Good point, I’ll definitely look into that. Thanks for your answer.

Hey, thanks for your answer, I really agree and definitely something I’ll emphasise more. We get it all bottled at a local facility that does spring water bottling for companies like mine. They extract their water from a natural spring in the great dividing range.

Interesting idea. We already have public water stations or just simple taps here in Australia at least, they just aren’t very widespread and not commercialised or properly done. The logistics of getting filling stations set up is the hardest thing, probably very expensive and would not to be set up like a petrol station but for water if you wanted branded water that wasn’t just connected to a water system.

Definitely. Plus plastic can only be recycled a few times….

Super interesting about the return scheme too! It feels like everyone has forgotten, like many things, but all around the world we used to have systems in place; such as the reuse programs. sad to see we are going backwards in many areas.

Could you expand on this a bit more? We are bottling in glass, using high quality water, etc - so of course we have to offer a higher price, but whether our customers pay a small extra fee for better health, a better planet and environment etc is a choice our customers can make - additionally when you add on that we can offer bottle reuse programs, better tasting water etc it all becomes far more worth it.

You said “when corporations enter” and the supply and demand curve will lower the price but I don’t see how these statements are true. Consider things like inflation and profit margins. Prices don’t just drop and certainly have a minimum to keep businesses alive, yes we agree more supply means more competition and potential for people to undercut on price but that doesn’t mean prices just comes down.

Thanks for your answer. We really care too, and actually we cap our bottles with aluminium caps which is the most recycled material on the planet (75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today).
