Just curious - how much does it cost (roughly) to have water delivered in Korea? I know when I was there before, Hyundai had it delivered to me - I had a hot/cold water cooler/heater. Thanks.

It costs 5000won per 19 liter jug. That's including delivery. The Pulmuone company has the best rep for drinking water.

No.

The water delivery guy can provide you a cooler for a deposit of about 50,000 won. He would take it back and return your deposit if you later cancelled the service.

Or you can just buy one for yourself.

not sure what it would cost to buy the heater/cooler thingie. I bought a hand pump that attached to the jug for something like 15,000W from the pulmone guy, just asked for "pump-uh"

I thought you were going to have some Aquafina delivered from the states.

Aquafina labels to spell out tap water source
Water originates from public reservoirs

The U.S. manufacturer of Aquafina bottled water will soon revise the product's label to clearly show the drink is made with treated tap water.


Water for Aquafina made in Canada is drawn from public sources in Vancouver and Mississauga, Ont.
(CBC)
Aquafina bottles sold in the U.S. are now labelled "PWS," but the new labels will spell this out as "Public Water Source," the brand's owner PepsiCo said on Friday.

Absolutely the same down here in rural Gyeongsangnamdo!

Get your director or Korean adult student to help you set it up. Worth every penny.
