Primo Water helps Costco members stay hydrated

by Dan Jones

Water is essential to our health. It helps us regulate our temperature, lubricate and cushion our joints, protect sensitive tissues and more, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Your Costco membership can help you stay hydrated with some refreshing perks through Primo Water, a provider of water dispensers and bottled water options. The company offers exclusive Costco member pricing on home and workplace delivery.

The process is simple and convenient: Online or over the phone, members select the products and dispenser they want delivered. They can choose from 3- or 5-gallon bottles of water that are delivered approximately every two weeks.

The Connection recently caught up with Mark Campbell, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Primo Water, to discuss how the company serves Costco members.

Costco Connection What is Primo Water and how can Costco members benefit from the service?
Mark Campbell For over 100 years, Primo Water’s bottled water delivery services have helped families and businesses across the U.S. stay hydrated and refreshed. In addition to bottled water options (purified, purified with added minerals, spring and artesian waters), we also have state-of-the-art, bottom-loading water dispensers for your home or office. Signing up for Primo Water delivery ensures that Costco members can enjoy delicious, quality water at a member-exclusive price.

CC What’s new at Primo Water?
MC We recently introduced Primo Water Plus™ alkaline water in select areas. It’s purified water, scientifically formulated with added minerals for a pH of 9.5 (at the time of bottling). Primo Water Plus is available in 3-gallon bottles. Its delicious taste makes it easy to meet daily intake quotas, yielding the benefits that proper hydration brings. We’re excited to roll it out nationally in the coming months.

CC How is Primo Water helping to take care of the environment?
MC We are committed to promoting environmental sustainability, responsible sourcing, waste reduction and efficient transport. For example, each reusable, recyclable 5-gallon water bottle can keep up to 1,500 single-use water bottles out of landfills and oceans. This figure is based on the expected lifetime use of one refillable Primo water 5-gallon bottle compared to the equivalent volume of water in single-use water bottles.
