Water Mart - Tucson

We're going here every week. the family that has the load is beautiful. we also enjoy thrifty eis!

Love this place. Great locally owned business. The water is fantastic because it doesn’t taste like anything but pure water. Does that make sense? Idk. Been going here for 3 years and will continue. Oh. And they have ice cream too! :

Stepping into these sniffs is like entering a bizarro world, the exact opposite of what a water store should be. It is dark, dingy and cramped and they sell thrifty chemical ice cream and chemical aromatized shaved ice, something that is not expected from a business You go for clean water and good health because you care what gets into your body. When the place is dirty and unkept and sell cheap flavored ice, it makes me question the quality of the water. Getting water into the store costs more because they swirl a splash of water around the jug and say it is "to be cleaned with ozone". When they are ready to fill the jar, wipe all the water with dirty microfiber cloths they use to wipe and store the worktops, then hang them to dry and reuse. The use of the external machine is like a snack from a sales machine in 1998. It is very old, has slender at the bottom, which transfers to the bottom of the jug, has not been inspected over a year and it takes only one dollar bill, no five and no cards and is turned off randomly and take your money. A strong contrast to other shops nearby that offer a clean environment, good water and better prices.

Family owned store provides what desert people need: good water, ice cream and Hawaiian ice. We’ve bought 3 five-gallon water jugs from them and often buy water from them as well. They aren’t the cheapest water dispensary, but they provide a clean, 12 stage reverse osmosis and/or alkaline water. Their store front dispenser only takes quarters and dollar bills, so don’t show up with cards or $5 bills. If you’ve never had Thrifty Ice Cream, you’re missing out. Do yourself a favor and stop in or a scoop or water bottle!

My kids love going for ice cream or snow cones. the service is excellent!
