One must purchase a 5 gallon jug; then have the water delivered to one's home. They only deliver on Tuesdays; every other Tuesday. They deliver islandwide. They are old-school. Answering machine and landline. Only take checks and you mailed them in after they send you an invoice no automatic payments. Maybe I can convince them to modernize. But I believe in their product so much that I have extra water and will share with anyone who wants it and they minimal cost above what I pay to have it delivered and Kalaheo every other week. Message me if you're interested.

Living out on the West side and close to agricultural land (a lot of folk live adjacent to…read moreagricultural land on Oahu) its a no-brainer to think about water and air quality. Air quality aside, water quality in Hawaii is assumed to be a safe, potable water source which it very well is by national standards. However, in light of all of the concern with the Red Hill spills and a lot of industrial activity going on in both town side and the west side, agricultural activities have been going on much longer and the regulations of such activity came too late, as is always the case. Recent news articles citing the presence of PFAS, pesticides and other organic, stable compounds in groundwater is a cause of concern and you can bet it won't get any better - this is where water filtration comes to play. Some may think that a simple, detachable water filter at the faucet head or a pitcher with a replaceable filter is enough to filter out chemicals that are a cause for concern z and they do, but not all of 'em. You need, at the very least, a reverse osmosis system...this appears to be the most practical and most affordable solution to the issue. Pono revival fills a special niche in water filtration because they focus on (for now) under-the-counter reverse osmosis systems that have a activated carbon pre-filter system, then the reverse osmosis system and finished off with an alkaline mineral injection system which utilized natural sources of alkalinity (i.e., dolomite that contain potassium- and magnesium-bicarbonate) which not only adds great taste but helps to mimic water sourced from natural River beds is, generally, beyond the reach of many city folk on Oahu. Pono Revival was able to concisely explain their processes and capabilitied, their philosophy and were able to answer most, if not partially all of my questions. They are made up of a husband and wife team who are approachable and honest and do not try to sell you a product right off the bat. Instead, they challenge you to something that is very tangible: try their drinking water, as much as you'd like. If you like what you can taste and feel, then you can consider their offerings which include what was mentioned above as well as a water softener attachment for shower heads. Lastly, their system is NSF certified up to the alkaline cartridges which they claim are certified (didn't ask to see the cert.). This system is different from alkaline water which utilize electrolysis to chemically alter water molecules to create alkaline water because you end up with more dissolved solvent (which are unknown). With a reverse osmosis system, you bring that dissolved solvent concentration down to near-zero and inject natural alkaline ions which are bioavailable when ingested with water which supposedly has a myriad of positive health effects. My wife and I opted for the reverse-osmosis system for now and have enjoyed every cup and flask-full. We will consider the water softener at another time - this review may be updated if thats the case. Unfortunately they do not offer whole-home systems and there are other companies that may suit your needs in this regard. In my opinion, Pono Revival offers a quality product, excellent customer service, and look to be a promising company for the future. The install was clean and non-destructive. The owner, himself, came out to replace our old faucet with one that imo is of better quality and has a water spigot (see photos). The holding tank under the sink holds about 3 gallons and can be refilled in about an hour after being emptied. Whats great about this is that you can fill up your bottles and buckets ahead of an incoming storm or other disaster. I highly recommend this company. Visit their shop - at the very least you get a nice, refreshing cup of water.

Before Pono Revival, I remember drinking just "regular filtered water" like everybody else, never…read morereally thinking about it but one day I met Ken (the owner). He was very knowledgeable in how water is filtered and how it can be acidic, chemically treated, inadequately purified, or bottled in plastic for years. After he made me aware of these things, I started thinking about how this whole time I've been putting these things in my body. Being a martial artist and an active runner, water is always by my side and is really the only thing I drink besides coffee. After learning that high alkaline, ionized, and hydrogen-rich water is better for my health I decided to invest in one of their under-the-counter systems. The water tastes great (even better when it's cold) and it doesn't have that tap water taste whats soever. Through their 12 step purification stages, my drinking water is filled with the things I need to keep me healthy, energized, and ready for my training. The shipping was fast (HI to CA) and it arrived within the same week, I also picked up a cool water bottle and invested in a showerhead system. It's nice knowing that the water I wash myself with is cleaner than the tap water I've been showering in for years. After all, the skin is the largest organ and it absorbs some of the water you bathe in, might as well have it absorb something cleaner. Overall my family and I are very happy with the knowledge, the systems and the water Pono Revival has provided us with. Great tasting water right here at home.

Aloha General Store deserves a lot more attention for its shave ice. While many visitors head to…read morethe famous spots in Haleʻiwa, this little gem quietly serves one of my favorite shave ice on the North Shore. For just $5, the small size is actually pretty generous. Even better, it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream hidden at the bottom, making it an incredible value. I chose Melona, strawberry, and coconut, and all three flavors were vibrant, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shave ice itself was soft, fluffy, and melted perfectly in your mouth. The store also sells souvenirs and gifts, but I came strictly for the shave ice, and I'd happily come back just for that. It's refreshing, affordable, and surprisingly underrated. If you're in Haleʻiwa and looking for a delicious shave ice without the long lines, don't overlook Aloha General Store. It may not be the most talked-about spot, but it definitely deserves a place on your shave ice list.

We've been receiving deliveries like clockwork, so I've not had to contact customer service at all. Another reason I haven't had to call them is that so many features are automated, and I mean this in a positive way. I mentioned in my initial review that I liked being able to go online and directly manage some of my account details. I just logged in to my account and the main screen is divided into: * Billing Information - where I can update my phone number, email address, and password. * Delivery Information - here also I can update my phone number and email address - for purposes of delivery, so they could be different from the billing information. Also displayed are the driver and route codes, and the next scheduled delivery date. * Account Balance - mine shows $0.00 due, probably because I have them automatically charge my credit card each month. * Open Invoices - there are no open invoices, again probably because of auto charges to my credit card. * My Deliveries - prominently shows the next delivery date, where there is a button to click to skip that delivery. Another option is to "View Deliveries." * Favorites - just has an image and description of the type of water being recurringly delivered. In the upper-left corner of the page is a menu icon, and when I click on it, the options are: * My Dashboard - takes you back to the main, initial screen. * Billing - I used this option recently to update my credit card details. * My Orders * My Account Besides their website, I receive email and phone reminders if there is a delivery scheduled for the following day. I am also able to download a PDF version of their delivery calendar, and there is even a way for me to upload the calendar of deliveries into my personal (Proton) calendar, accessible online or through my calendar app, which now shows me delivery dates for the upcoming months. I receive email invoices, and transaction & payment receipts monthly. Yes, I highly recommend Aloha Water Company. https://www.facebook.com/raymond.kaya.98/
