Facts About Water

There are three types of bottled water available. Spring water, mineral water and natural water. Spring water is bottled directly at the source. Drawn straight  from the natural spring,  Spring waters may be treated in order that they meet hygiene standards, as defined in regulations which cover the bottled water industry.

Mineral water is collected from an above ground source emerges from under the ground. Mineral water cannot be treated, unlike spring water. It can only be filtered to remove particles of sand grit or dirt that may be present prior to bottling.

Natural water is either spring or mineral water which has been transported to a production facility, by dedicated drinking water tankers.

If you have any intolerance to any particular mineral, you should carefully check the mineral content of your bottled water before consuming. There are regulations in place to ensure that all bottled water producers clearly show a list of the minerals present in their products.
