Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nursery® water have to be refrigerated?
After opening Nursery® water, refrigerate and use within seven (7) days. Follow good hygiene during use to preserve quality.
Do I need to boil Nursery® water?
Use as directed by physician or by labeling directions for use of infant formula. For mixing with infant formula, Health Canada recommends boiling non-sterile water for two minutes and cooling before use.
What processes are used to prepare Nursery® water?
Nursery® is a steam-distilled remineralized water that has gone through a stringent purification process. The process starts with filtration where impurities are removed, followed by steam distillation, resulting in a drinking water in its simplest form. Next, minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium are added back to Nursery water to give it a fresh taste. Finally, micron filtration ensures clarity and product quality. The last step is ozonation, which disinfects the water.
What is the shelf life for Nursery® water?
Just how long Nursery® water is ok to use once opened depends on a variety of factors. Understanding that Nursery water is not sterile, once opened we recommend the following: Use as directed by physician or by labeling directions for use of infant formula. For mixing with infant formula, the FDA recommends boiling non-sterile water for one minute and cooling before use. After opening, refrigerate and use within seven (7) days. Follow good hygiene during use to preserve quality.
What makes Nursery® water special?
Nursery® is steam-distilled remineralized water that may be used to mix with formula (refer to formula label instructions) and cereal, to dilute juice, and is a good source of drinking water as directed by your physician (see below).
Nursery water uses distilled water as its base. Distilled water is produced by filtering source water through sand and activated carbon to remove chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor, as well as sediment and trihalomethanes. This filtered water is converted to steam in a stainless-steel distiller. Dissolved contaminants are left behind as the water is vaporized and condensed. The water is then bottled after being filtered through 1-micron filters and ozonated.
At what age should I give my child plain water to drink?
Health Canada recommends that babies consume a diet exclusively of breast milk or formula for the first four to six months of life. A baby gets all the water he needs from formula or breast milk. It is not necessary, nor is it recommended, to give your baby plain water before he is six months old. When bottle-fed babies start eating solid food, they may be offered a few sips of water between feedings. Breast-fed babies usually do not need extra water if they are nursing on demand. Please confer with your physician.
Why are minerals added to Nursery® water?
Calcium, magnesium and potassium are added for taste. At the levels used, they do not provide any nutritional benefits.
Since Nursery® water is distilled, is it sterile?
No. Nursery® water, like any bottled water, is not considered sterile. Use as directed by physician or by labeling directions for use with baby formula.
Why is my bottle of Nursery® water discolored or moldy?
In most cases, discoloration is caused when particles of formula inadvertently enter the bottle of Nursery water® when preparing your child’s bottle. When mixing Nursery water with formula, it is important that you pour the water into a clean bottle first and then add the correct amount of formula. Formula particles that enter the bottle of Nursery water may also cause mold to form if not handled properly.
Is Nursery® water an electrolyte solution?
Nursery® is a bottled water and does NOT contain electrolytes. It should never be used as a nutritional supplement.
What is the quality and/or mineral content of Nursery® water?
Please refer to the complete water quality reports below:

a. Binding Arbitration
You and Primo each agree to waive our respective rights to have any and all disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising from or related to these Terms of Use, the Sites or the Content, including claims that arose before the existence of these Terms of Use, claims that arise after the cancelation or termination of these Terms of Use, and claims that are the subject of purported class action litigation, resolved in a court and by a jury trial.

The foregoing waivers shall not apply to any Disputes in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief (including Disputes (i) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 3, or (ii) for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents). Disputes shall not include any issues relating to the existence, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision.
b. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions
You and Primo each agree to waive our respective rights to have any and all disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising from or related to these Terms of Use, the Sites or the Content, including claims that arose before the existence of these Terms of Use, claims that arise after the cancelation or termination of these Terms of Use, and claims that are the subject of purported class action litigation, resolved in a court and by a jury trial. Instead, you and Primo agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration as provided in more detail in these Terms of Use. The foregoing waivers shall not apply to any Disputes in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief (including Disputes (i) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 3, or (ii) for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents). Disputes shall not include any issues relating to the existence, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision.
c. Federal Arbitration Act
You and Primo agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 17 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
d. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution
You and Primo agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Primo shall be sent by certified mail or courier to DS Services of America, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway, Suite 500N, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, account number (if you have one) and an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. If you and Primo cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Primo may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 17, commence an arbitration proceeding.
e. Process
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF (INCLUDING DISPUTES (I) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF SECTION 3, OR (II) FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS OR PATENTS), YOU AND PRIMO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR PRIMO WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND PRIMO WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE). You and Primo agree that (a) any arbitration (including the hearing) will occur in Cobb County, Georgia, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Georgia and the United States, respectively, sitting in Cobb County (for state) and Fulton County (for federal), have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. In addition to the foregoing, demands for arbitration must be accompanied by a detailed statement of claim that is personally verified and executed by the claimant. Moreover, you will not be responsible for any arbitral fees that exceed the fees you would have incurred if the dispute had been brought in court. If you hire an attorney to represent you in arbitration, you are responsible for your attorneys’ fees and costs but may recover them from Primo to the same extent as in court. If the arbitrator finds that your Dispute was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, however, Primo may seek reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys’ fees from you, your attorney, or both, to the same extent as in court.
f. Authority of Arbitrator
As limited by the FAA, these Terms of Use and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms of Use. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
g. Rules of JAMS
The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
h. Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first visit the Sites (and thus accept these Terms of Use) by writing to: DS Services of America, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway, Suite 500N, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 18.
18. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms of Use and your access to and use of the Sites shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Georgia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration shall be resolved in the Georgia state courts located in Cobb County, Georgia or in the United States federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia only – however, for all such disputes generating federal subject matter jurisdiction, the parties agree that these disputes shall be heard in the United States federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia only.
19. SITE ACCESS
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites at any time and for any or no reason.
20. SEVERABILITY
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms of Use.
21. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Primo relating to your access to and use of the Sites. These Terms of Use, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Primo.
