5-Gallon Bottled Water Delivery Near You: The Top 10 Questions Answered
If you're searching for bottled water delivery near me in Michigan City, La Porte, Cassopolis, or anywhere else in the Michiana region, you've probably got a few questions before you commit. 5-gallon water jugs are the backbone of most home water delivery service and office water delivery plans, but there's more to them than just "big jug, more water."
Below, we've answered the ten questions our customers ask most often about 5-gallon water delivery service — so you know exactly what to expect before your first delivery arrives.
1. How Long Does a 5-Gallon Water Jug Actually Last?

It depends on your household, but for a rough guide: a family of four using water for drinking and cooking typically goes through one jug every one to two weeks. Offices and high-traffic households often need commercial water delivery on a faster cycle, especially in summer months. If you're not sure how many jugs to order, Spencer's residential water delivery team can help you estimate based on household size and usage.
2. What's the Difference Between Purified, Distilled, Spring, and Alkaline Water Delivery?
Not all bottled water is created equal — and this is one of the most-searched questions we see, right alongside "purified water delivery near me" and "spring water delivery service":
Purified water delivery provides water that's been treated to remove contaminants, chemicals, and impurities, leaving clean, neutral-tasting water.
Distilled water delivery goes through a boil-and-condense process that removes virtually all minerals — a popular choice for medical devices, humidifiers, and CPAP machines.
Spring water delivery comes from a natural underground source and retains its natural mineral content, giving it a distinct taste many customers prefer.
Alkaline water delivery has a higher pH than standard tap or bottled water, often with minerals added back in.
Each type serves a different purpose, and switching between them is easy if your preferences change.
3. Do I Need a Water Cooler or Dispenser?
You don't have to have one, but most customers pairing a 5-gallon water jug delivery plan with a dispenser find daily use far more convenient. A few common setups:
Countertop or floor-standing water dispensers — the most popular option. Flip the jug once, and gravity handles the rest.
Bottom-load water coolers — no lifting a 40+ pound jug overhead; the jug sits at the base while the unit pumps water up.
Manual pumps — an inexpensive spigot that clips onto the jug neck, ideal for occasional use.
Direct pour — simply tipping the jug into a pitcher, which works but is the least convenient for daily use.
If you're not sure which setup fits your space, ask about water dispenser rental and purchase options available alongside your delivery plan.

4. How Much Does 5-Gallon Water Delivery Cost, and Is There a Minimum Order?
Pricing depends on water type, jug count, and delivery frequency. Spencer's offers affordable water delivery with straightforward pricing and no hidden fees — reach out for a free quote tailored to your household or business needs.
5. How Often Will My Water Be Delivered?
Our scheduled water delivery is flexible — weekly, biweekly, monthly, or set to whatever rhythm fits your usage. Many customers start with a schedule and adjust it after a delivery or two once they know their actual consumption. Whether you need home water delivery or office water delivery, we build the schedule around you.

6. What Do I Do With Empty Jugs?

Simple — leave your empty jugs out on your scheduled delivery day, and we'll swap them for full ones. No deposits to track down, no guesswork.

7. Is the Water Safe for Infants or People With Health Conditions?

This is a common — and important — question. Many parents and caregivers ask specifically about sodium content or mineral levels when preparing infant formula or managing a health condition. Purified or distilled water is often the preferred choice in these cases because of its low mineral content, but we'd always recommend checking with your pediatrician or physician for guidance specific to your situation.

8. Can I Switch Water Types or Jug Sizes Later?

Absolutely. Preferences change, and switching between purified, spring, distilled, or alkaline water — or adjusting how many jugs you receive — is simple. Just let us know before your next scheduled delivery.

9. Is There a Contract, or Can I Cancel Anytime?

No long-term contract required. Spencer's delivery service runs month-to-month, so you're never locked in.

10. Do You Offer Discounts for Referrals or Long-Term Customers?

Yes — loyal customers and referrals are rewarded. Ask about our current loyalty and referral program when you sign up.
