Shoppers set on cans
If individual cans are the point of the order, check the packaging as well as the pack count. Ocado lists separate Cano still and sparkling canned-water multipacks.
Who might choose cans?
Plain-water drinkers
Choose between still and carbonated water before comparing sizes. Ocado lists Cano still cans in a 24 × 330 ml case and sparkling cans in a 10 × 250 ml fridge pack.
Shoppers who want fruit flavour and fizz
DASH fruit-infused sparkling multipacks offer a flavoured, carbonated option. They are not interchangeable with plain still water.
What should you check before ordering?
Choose the type of water first, then check how much each pack contains and whether a replacement would still meet your requirements.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Still or sparkling | Read whether the water is still or carbonated. If it is sparkling, check whether it is plain or fruit-infused. | I want water without fizz, or I want fizz without adding fruit flavour. |
| Pack size | Compare the number of cans, the volume of each can and the total volume. Ocado lists Cano still at 24 × 330 ml and Cano sparkling at 10 × 250 ml. | A larger number of cans matters to me for repeated individual servings; a smaller pack may fit the space I have. |
| Packaging | Confirm that the individual units are cans rather than bottles. Check the live product title, especially for familiar bottled-water brands. | If cans are essential, a bottle multipack will not meet my requirement even when the water type is right. |
| Substitutions | Review the retailer’s substitution setting and inspect any replacement for water type, flavour, packaging and unit size. | I would rather decline a replacement than receive bottles or flavoured water instead of the cans I chose. |
Ordering mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming every water multipack contains cans
Tesco and Sainsbury’s list bottle multipacks alongside canned options, so pack count alone does not identify the packaging.
Check the individual container and its size in the product title before adding the pack to your basket.
-
Comparing pack counts without checking volume
A pack of smaller cans can contain less water than a pack with fewer, larger units.
Compare the number of units and the volume of each one, then check the total volume for the packs you are considering.
-
Treating fruit-infused sparkling water as plain water
DASH describes its drinks as sparkling spring water infused with fruit. That changes both the flavour and the still-versus-sparkling choice.
Choose plain still or plain sparkling water when fruit flavour is unwanted; otherwise check the flavour and ingredients before ordering a multipack.
-
Overlooking substitutions
A replacement bottle, can size or flavour might not meet the reason you chose the original pack.
Set your substitution preference deliberately and check any replacement offered at delivery. Tesco and Sainsbury’s both describe options for declining an unwanted substitute.

Questions about water multipacks
Should I order still, plain sparkling or flavoured sparkling cans?
Choose still cans if you do not want carbonation, plain sparkling cans if you want fizz without fruit flavour, or fruit-infused sparkling cans if you want both. Check the exact pack: Ocado’s Cano still and sparkling listings have different can sizes, while DASH offers flavoured sparkling packs.
What if my canned-water pack is substituted?
Check the replacement before accepting it, particularly if the can format or flavour matters. Tesco says shoppers who allow substitutions can return an unwanted substitute for a refund. Sainsbury’s says shoppers can keep a substitute or receive a refund; check each retailer’s current instructions when ordering.
Can water cans be recycled?
Recycle Now says aluminium and steel drink cans can be recycled after use. Check your local collection instructions for how to dispose of the empty cans.
Is all water sold in cans natural mineral water?
No. Natural mineral water is a specific designation, not a description of the container. Read the individual product label rather than assuming that spring, sparkling or canned water has that designation.
