Are You Choosing the Right Bottle of Water to Drink?

Spring water, demineralized, distillation, reverse osmosis-a range of different words are used to describe such a seemingly simple resource. Knowing these different terms will help you to choose the right bottle to drink.

Spring water

A term that can’t be used by just anyone. To earn the right to call a product by this name, the water must be drawn from an underground spring in a protected environment that is protected from pollution and any elements that might compromise its purity. It must be drinkable as soon as it is drawn, without purification treatments. True spring water is naturally pure.

Demineralized water

This term is used to describe spring water whose minerals have been entirely removed. Distillation and reverse osmosis are the two processes by which it is commonly obtained. Demineralized water has a pure, refreshing taste.

Distillation

In the distillation process, water is demineralized through evaporation. As the water evaporates, minerals remain at the bottom of the container while steam escapes through pipes into an empty container. The steam then condenses to turn liquid once more. The water recovered is free of all the minerals it contained prior to distillation.

Reverse osmosis

Reverse osmosis is a process by which water is driven by high pressure through a series of microscopic filters. Any minerals are entrapped, while the demineralized water passes to the other side and is collected for bottling.

Knowing these different terms will help you choosing the right water to drink.

Daigneau water comes from an underground spring in Saint-Ferdinand. When you drink it, you are refreshed in the most natural way possible.
