Why buy bottled water?
Drinking bottled water is a lot healthier for your body than drinking sugar-rich drinks. Beverages are loaded with tons and tons of sugar that are not only bad for your teeth, but also bad for your body in general. By having bottled water readily available either at home or at the office, you can directly encourage yourself to have better drinking habits.
Loading up the kitchen with sugar rich drinks will only encourage you to drink them, because it is so readily available. By replacing all your sugary drinks with bottled water, you make it much easier for yourself to drink water instead.
This is especially true when you’re on the go. You can easily grab a bottle of water…To go!
What to look for in bottled water
The two main types of bottled water available is spring water and purified water. They are both processed and handled differently.
Do not trust the images on the label of the bottled water. Just because you see images of mountains, rivers, and springs does not mean it’s coming from a natural source. Some bottled water companies London simply purify tap water that is readily available to anyone. At Living-Water the water is sourced from a natural spring in the Wenlock range on the North Welsh borders.
Purified water is water that has been treated to remove chlorine. Some other common treatments for water include reverse osmosis, distillation, absolute micron filtration and ozonation.
What are the different treatments?
Distillation: This process turns the water into water vapor and then is converted back into water molecules. This process removes and leaves the minerals behind.
Reverse Osmosis: This process filters water through a membrane which catches tiny minerals and removes them from the water.
Absolute Micron Filtration: This process filters water through a membrane that only lets particles that are less than a micron through. Any larger particles or objects are filtered out.
Ozonation: This process uses ozone gas to disinfect the water.
What you should know before buying
If the bottled water company advertises that its water is purified, you can usually assume that it comes from a municipal source (local town/city). They are essentially purifying tap water through one of the methods stated above.
Natural spring water comes from an outside natural source and is treated to be safe for human consumption.
