 Composition of Bottled Water

Process of Purification

• Multimedia sediment filter- removes sediments such as rust, sand and particles that are invisible to the naked eye; employs a total of 5 filters.
• Activated carbon filter- removes all organic chemicals, herbicide, pesticide, offensive odor and bad taste.
• Ion exchanger- replaces hard minerals with soft minerals.
• Reverse osmosis membrane- the heart of the system and the most expensive unit; removes inorganic minerals, bacteria and viruses while retaining its oxygen content. the filter size is very small at less than 0.05 micrometer. The filtration process rejects about 50 percent of raw water volume.
• Post-carbon filter- improves the taste of water
• Ultraviolet lamp- ensures that the water is free from disease-causing micro-organisms.
