I love Flo Water! It tastes so much better than the water form the water fountains! I carry my Flo Water water bottle everywhere!

This machine actually encourages me to drink more water rather than other soft drink beverages.

To all of you free-loaders, If you read the caption, you would see that it dispenses purified water, which requires money for the cost of filters, reverse osmosis membranes, and/or ozone/ultraviolet lights. You also have to take into accont the cost of the city water being processed. Seeing as they are most likely dumping two gallons of water for every gallon of purified water made, I’d say $0.25 is a decent deal. So stop complaining and DRINK!

In reply to Thirsty. I found a free water filling station at the campus center. Its on the second floor of the building, and located on the wall across the coffee joint. ENJOY!!!

Water should be FREE! The idea of a water bottle filling station is great, but charging for it is absurd. There are numerous options for a design that allows water bottles to be conveniently placed upright under the spout for filling. One of those designs should have been installed at UH. All this new machine does is facilitate the myth that water you pay for is better than water from the tap. In the world we live in people need incentives to do the right thing, which means filling stations need to be accessible, convenient, and most of all free. Until we have free bottle filling stations I will continue to awkwardly fill my bottle up at water fountains

In reply to �鶹��ýNews staff. Yes, I think the best way to encourage earth-friendly habits is to model appropriate behaviors. Reducing waste by carrying your own water bottle is a great way to start the New Year. Mahalo for the coupon....I'll be using it soon.

In reply to Thirsty. UH-Hilo has a water machine similar, if not better, and doesn't charge students for water. Why would you charge students for water? Really? Not news to brag about.

Wow! This a new Eco-friendly, inexpensive, and cool way to get water. Avoid buying bottled water and get a drinking tumbler and refill it up. I would suggest on buying an Eco-friendly drinking tumbler and that’s equal to more Eco-friendly. The good part about Flo Water is that it’s filtered. I would also like to request to have this machine in Honolulu Community College. Even better is to have this machine on all �鶹��ýCommunity Colleges.
