Almost every day we meet with a potential new customer to discuss the possibility of their venue stocking Devonia Water. One of the first questions we are asked is – how does it work? 

Well, there’s not much to it…

1. We set up your account
2. You place your order via our online form or by email, phone or text
3. We deliver our bottled water in stackable crates
4. You serve Devonia to your customers and then place the empties back into the crates
5. You put the crates of empties back in the drop-off point ready for collection
6. We replace the empties with your next order. 

It really is that simple. 

Here are some of the other questions we are frequently asked by potential customers:

Why choose Devonia Water? 

We are the only spring water company in the south of England with a business model focused on reusing glass bottles again and again. Washing and refilling the bottles uses just 6% of the energy required to recycle glass, reducing CO2 by 94%. And of course, there’s no plastic pollution going into the world’s oceans. To find out more about why we reuse our bottles visit Recycling & Reusing page. 

What size bottles do you offer? 

We offer both still and sparkling water in 330ml or 750ml bottles. The 330ml bottles come in crates of 20 bottles and the 750ml bottles in crates of 12. To find out more about our water visit Our Water page. 

Who can you cater for? 

We cater for hospitality businesses of all sizes including hotels, pubs, cafés, restaurants, weddings and events, and private houses across Devon. We can also provide our water to local distilleries. 

How and when do I place my order? 

Every Monday, you will receive a reminder email with a link to our online order form. You can either use the online order form or text, call or email us to place your order. 

Is there a minimum order requirement? 

Yes, 2 crates. 

Which day do you deliver to our area? 

On Wednesdays, we deliver to Dartmouth, Totnes, Torquay and Shaldon (order must be placed by 12.00 on Tuesday).  On Thursdays, we deliver to Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Tiverton, Teignmouth and South Dartmoor (order must be placed by 12.00 on Wednesday).  And, on Fridays, we deliver to Salcombe, Modbury, Plymouth, Tavistock, Okehampton and Chagford (order must be placed by 12.00 on Thursday).

How is the water delivered and how do I stop the bottles from going into recycling? 

The bottles will be placed at your allocated delivery drop-off point. They will be delivered in sturdy crates which can stack vertically in your store cupboard.  Once the bottles have been used, place them back in the crates. 

How do I make a payment? 

Payment comes after delivery, by BACS and before the 15th of the following month. Monthly accounts are available. We can accept cash, if necessary.
