One of the first questions new home delivery customers ask us: 5-gallon or 3-gallon? Here's how to think about it.
3-gallon jugs are easier to lift and swap, which makes them a good fit for apartments, smaller households, or anyone using a countertop dispenser.
5-gallon jugs offer better value per gallon and last longer between swaps, which makes sense for bigger households, home gyms, or anyone going through water quickly.
A lot of our customers actually keep both on rotation, a 5-gallon jug on a floor dispenser and a 3-gallon as backup or for a countertop unit elsewhere in the house.
Either way, we handle the empties, so there's no jug pileup to deal with.
