Its machines are located in 35 US states, with the majority in California, Florida, and Texas. The machines are connected to municipal water sources and are designed to reduce impurities in the water through processes such as micron filtration, reverse osmosis, and carbon absorption. Glacier Water's machines are placed outside supermarkets and other stores; it uses indoor models in colder climates. It discontinued its Mexico City operations.
