Water Market

So EXCITED! Tomorrow from 7am-12pm, we'll be installing a new uber smart, powerful & efficient pump, that can take a lickin' & keep on ticken! Should another emergency come our way, we'll be well-equipped to keep our community's water needs topped-off & concerns over shortage at bay. The completion of this long-awaited install, will help get us one step closer to re-opening for regular business hours! Cheers to that! During the install from 7am-12pm, there will be NO access t...o water at the vending machines or faucets. If you are low on water, please be sure to fill up tonight, before 7am or after 12noon tomorrow. Thank you in advance for your patience & understanding. Stay tunned for updates on our doors flying open! We miss you guys! Can't wait to catch up with everyone! Pump MADE IN THE USA! Support US-made products & jobs! Our equipment provider/install crew are also a long-time HB business!!! Support local businesses! Learn more at TheWaterMarket.com

Today 5am-2pm we will be partially CLOSED for electrical service, in preparation to install an upgraded pump, so that we can best be prepared for fully re-opening our doors for regular business very soon. We will have one of our Ultra Purified vending machines available for use all day today, so come on over for a fill! If you are in need of Alkaline water, we have 1 gallon jugs available for $2 until supplies last. ... Thank you for your understanding & patience. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Ran into Jeff @nine_lights this morning when he stopped in for a fill. Got to see his latest cutting-egde board design. This board is a work-of-art..made primarily of cork & a touch of red wood, it's extremely lightweight & a thing of beauty! Cheers to HB ingenuity! #hblife #surfcityusa

OPEN HOURS!!! Thu, April 23 - In the past couple of weeks, we started filling bottles for customers on the inside during different days & hours while we were at the store working on projects, so it was really nice to see our customers again. Based on having experienced how we can assist customers during this time, while still being able to maintaining the recommended safety guidelines, we feel we are in a better position this week to start implementing some regular hours agai...n. Temporary hours as of TODAY, Thu, April 23rd: Mon: 11am-3pm Tue: 3-7pm Wed: 11am-3pm Thu: 3-7pm Fri: 10am-5pm Sat: 10am-3pm Sun: 10am-3pm (We are often here during unlisted hours as well, so if we aren't tied up inside on a project, we will come out to offer fills inside as well.) Please wait OUTSIDE & practice social distancing... The outside vending machines will still be running 24/7 for Alkaline & Purified water, however, during the hours listed above, if you need Purified water & would like us to fill your bottles on the inside, please feel free to wait by the front door and we would be more than happy to assist you...we miss seeing everyone! There is currently no limit on how many gallons we can fill for you. We'll bring your bottles inside, while you wait outside, and we'll roll them back out on a cart when we are done filling. We are testing out these limited hours to see how things go, as we've learned that doing things this way is extremely physical work, and wearing masks and gloves makes it difficult to breathe as well as difficult to stay cool, so after a few hours of this, we are beat, so thank you in advance for your patience as we continue to navigate our new best practices for serving our community. We are also please to announce that in the next week or two, we will be installing two new Purified Water vending machines next to our existing one, which will give us a total of six bays for our customers' convenience. These two machines will accept cash, as well as credit card, in case you do not have cash on hand. The credit card company will charge a 15c fee per transaction, but for the convenience, it's well worth paying that small fee. Filling a 5 gallon bottle is $1.50 + the 15c fee is still only $1.65, which is extremely reasonable. We currently have 5 gallon Polycarbonate bottles available for customers filling up with us - no limit on how many you can purchase! We can take cash or Venmo. We look forward to seeing everyone!

24/7 Vending available!!! We remain CLOSED due to the strong advisory to stay away from large crowds in order to prevent unnecessary risk of spreading the virus. Rest assured, that we are continuing to do everything we can ensure that our community continues to have access to clean healthy water. As we often say, "where there is water, there is life; where there is clean water, there is quality of life". We're here for you! We are determined not to let this challenging time g...Continue reading

Happy Wednesday! Share a roll of toilette paper!...I ran into a customer outside our store yesterday, who had zero for her family. Luckily I had an extra to spare. She plans instruct her kids to limit two squares per use. For now, we still remain closed, however, we are keeping our vending machines running 24/7. For our ELDERLY & PHYSICALLY DISABLED customers who have no local help from family or neighbors, please contact us in advance to schedule a visit to the store. You ...can remain in the comfort of your car, while Dan & I fill your bottles and bring them out to you. If you have able-bodied help, please have them fill bottles at the vending machines, so that we can serve those who have ZERO help or support. Please email us at [email protected] to schedule a visit. If you do not have access to email, please slide a note in our door with your contact information, as we are at the store throughout the day & night keeping equipment maintained. If you see us inside, feel free to knock and let us know that you need help filling. We are more than happy to help! ***Unfortunately during these crazy times, we have seen our fair share of selfish & irrational behavior, so please do not abuse the privilege of scheduling a visit if you do not meet the requirements, because you will be leaving without water and you will be banned from using vending, as well as ask not to ever come back again. Thank you in advance for your cooperation & consideration of other's in our community. Stay safe & sane everyone...this too shall pass. Please check on your elderly & disabled neighbors to see if they need help and give them reassurance that they have support nearby. This is a jarring & frightening time for many, especially our elderly and disabled. Thank you in advance for your kindness & generosity. I want to assure everyone that there is NO SHORTAGE of WATER. There is no reason to panic or worry that we will run out...we are working night and day to ensure that you will continue to have access to clean water. Cheers!

Tue, March 17 - Due to the advisory not to gather in large group settings or expose yourself to more than 10-25 people at a time, we are taking measured & responsible action and keeping our doors closed until further notice, so that we can do our part to keep the general public safe, as well as ourselves & our staff. We will keep our vending machines and equipment maintained and running 24/7 during this time to ensure that you are able to get access to clean water for you and... your loved ones. There is no need to worry about lack of water, as we will keep the production going around the clock. Time is money, so if you want to avoid long lines at the Purified vending machine, I would highly recommend you to utilize the Alkaline vending machine to get our Aqua Bella Alkaline water, as it rarely has a wait and it can receive credit cards & cash ($1 & $5 bills). Our specially formulated Alkaline water is great during cold & flu season, as it is has anti-bacterial components, detoxifies, fortified with nano-minerals, oxygenated and is very high in antioxidants. I drink this daily, all day long and never get sick, however, when I travel and can't take it with me, I inevitable catch a cold. It is a little more expensive, but for only $2/gallon (1 gal=$2 / 2gal=$4 / 3gal=$6 / 5gal=$10) it will pay for itself right away by keeping you healthy and saving you time in line. If you think about it, many people often spend nearly $2 for a 16oz bottle of regular water, which has none of the many benefits that our proprietary Aqua Bella water has. Also, we have been preaching this for years, in the event of any emergency, you should hang onto your cash if at all possible, as we do not know when and if banks will close. Cash is king... We will very much miss seeing you all daily and looking forward to returning back to normal business hours soon. Please stay well and safe. We will update when we can safely open our doors again. Best regards, Lauren, Dan & Staff

Happy Monday!!! We are currently unable to get 5 gallon plastic bottles...nobody can. We do, however, have 5 gallon Italian glass. We currently have 1, 2 & 3 gallon size bottles. We will update our website & on social as soon as we are able to get more. Although our suppliers have raised our bottle prices on in the past few days, all of our bottle prices remain the same. We have no plans to raise our prices during this shortage, as we want our community to have affordable a...ccess to water. Monday, March 16 - Open 10-3pm: We are trying to fairly distribute water & bottles to our community. Please wait outside in line until called into the store. We are allowing limited number of people in at one time. If you need to purchase bottles, please also wait in line; Please do not come into the store until your turn. Please DO NOT RINSE BOTTLES or OVERFLOW. Please come in with clean bottles. Due to the unusually high demand for water, it has been extremely challenging to produce enough water to meet the need of our community. Please be considerate to our efforts to serve our community, and please have courtesy for others who also need to supply their families with water. If this policy is a problem for you and you do not want to help in our efforts, please use the vending machines outside or go buy water somewhere else...We reserve the right to REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE. We have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for selfish entitled knuckleheads...and this applies 24/7 - 365 days. (We have been sleeping 2-4 hours max a night in order to keep our systems running, so that we can serve our community, so we really appreciate everyone's cooperation & understanding.) Due to heavy advisory against large gatherings, we are trying to be as responsible as we can for the good of our community, therefore, we will be open for limited hours today from 10am-3pm to serve those who do not currently have water. The line will be cut off at 2:30 PM. Our vending machines are open all day 24/7. Please use vending machines instead of coming into the store if you can. Please only come into the store if you are need in need of purchasing a new bottle. Two bottle limit. NO WAITING IN LINE FOR THE FOLLOWING: Purchasing ICE ($2.20+tax), or pre-filled 1 gallon jugs ($1.16+tax). We will keep everyone updated about store hours/status for tomorrow and the following days as we learn more about advisories. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Lauren, Dan & staff

We made it through yesterday without a hitch! We expect today to go just as well, if not better! The line will move a lot faster today, as we are at full tank capacity today vs 1/4 capity yesterday. Doors are open, so get your place in line to fill &/or purchase bottles. 10 gallon fill limit per household, per wait in line. You can get in in line unlimited number of times to fill 10 additional gallons. There's rarely a wait at the Alkaline machine outside...get the good stu...ff quick, so you can go enjoy the rest of your Sunday! It's better water for cold & flu season anyway. My fav! Visit us @ TheWaterMarket.com for more info on water & bottle availability. We accept cash, venmo or zelle for purified water, ICE & bottle purchases. There's no wait to buy chemical-free Diamond ICE (8lb $2.20+tax) or our prefilled 1 gallon jugs ($1.25 ea). Limit 4 bottles per household. Alkaline machines accept credit, ApplePay, debit & cash. See you soon! Cheers! Lauren

Yesterday, Friday, March 13 at around 3pm, we completely ran out of purified water. Unfortunately, we had no choice but to close our doors & shut down the vending machines for a few hours in order to produce more water. After producing water for about 1.5 hours, we realized that our delivery pump was damaged, due to being overworked and running nonstop for too many consecutive hours. Although we were able to produce water, we were not able to pump purified water to our fauc...Continue reading
