Is the drive from Clairemont worth it?
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Four 5-gallon alkaline fills elsewhere ($2.10/gal) | $42.00 |
| Four 5-gallon alkaline fills here | $30.00 |
| Saved on water, before gas | $12.00 |
A round trip is about 25 miles, roughly a gallon of gas for most cars. On a four-bottle fill, the water savings cover it. Grocery and bottled water prices are typical San Diego shelf prices and vary by store and brand. Other water store prices are what we see at nearby stores.
Make it one trip a week
Most Clairemont regulars keep four bottles in rotation and come in once a week. Prepaid membership adds another 10% on top.
