At the Menehune Water Company on Oahu, HI, they pride themselves on offering clean, fresh water to all customers. They also know how important sustainable production is to maintain the gorgeous Hawaii environment. That’s why they opt to clean and sanitize their 5-gallon water bottles instead of discarding them after each use. Here’s a breakdown of their sanitization process.

How Menehune Water Company Sanitizes Their 5-Gallon Water Bottles

A 5-step process ensures all bottles are properly cleaned and sanitized before they come to you. This process starts with a chemical contamination detector, then a leak detector checks for cracks and defects. 

An exterior pre-rinsing removes any dust or dirt on the outside of the bottle. From there, the bottle makes its way to the wash station, where it’s cleaned inside and out with soap and sanitizing solution.

Finally, the bottle will be rinsed before conducting one last sanitization. All pre-rinsing, washing, and rinsing are performed by high-pressure spray jets, providing the most thorough clean possible. 

What You Can Do to Keep Your Dispenser Clean

Menehune Water Company’s dispensers are completely self-contained, so the reservoirs inside won’t make contact with the bottle or the open air. However, they should still be cleaned occasionally for the best-tasting water.

Wipe down the outside of the dispenser with soap and warm water. Next, remove the 5-gallon water bottle and clean the interior of the water safe on top of the dispenser. If there’s standing water in the interior, take it out. Finally, remove and empty the drip tray before washing it in warm water and replacing it. 

If you prefer, you can contact Menehune Water Company to schedule a full cleaning of your dispenser for a small fee. Call (808) 487-7777 to place an order today.
