“This place is very well run. The equipment and facilities are top quality and clearly maintained with care. They offer 8 RO water spigots, 3 alkaline spigots, and 2 rinse nozzles, which helps keep everything moving efficiently even when it’s busy. The parking can look a little chaotic at first, but I have never had an issue finding a spot. The carts make loading water into your car easy, and the staff is always incredibly polite, welcoming, and efficient.”
“steve's offers really good service, great prices, and high qualaity water, RO and alkaline”
“We’ve been coming here for years. Great water and great people.”
“Great tasting water. The alkaline water is worth the extra cost. They all have a prepay card that saves you money. Friendly service!”
“Such a great business and the owners are so helpful and friendly.”
“Best water place. Convenient self service with plenty of spigots and a bottle rinsing station. The owner and his family are always attentive. Note: the bottles they sell are a bit expensive but they're very good quality, which is expected since they're a small business.”
Very clean water with a crisp, neutral taste. Great for drinking, coffee, tea, cooking, baby formula and pets. It's our most popular everyday water.
Starts as our purified water, then raised to a higher pH of 9–9.5. Many customers say it tastes smoother and choose it for drinking and hydration.
Both come out of the same clean store, and you can fill either one at the counter or at the 24-hour machine outside. If you can't decide, try a gallon of each.
We've provided water for the Quarterback Magazine Winter Camp in San Diego since 2018, with Quarterback Magazine and Wide Receiver Magazine.

We opened Fresh Alka Water in Grantville in 2016 to give our neighbors clean, great-tasting water at a fair price, from people who know them by name.
We're still family-run, and we keep the store clean every day. Thank you to everyone who has filled a jug with us and left a review.
