Drinking Water according to the FDA, is water that does not have any added sweeteners or additives. It must not contain calories and must be sugar-free. Any flavors or extracts that are added to the water must be less than 1% of the final product. If it is more than 1% then the beverage is no longer considered drinking water, but is considered a "soft drink".
Ponder on this: All life on earth depends on drinking water — should you really be supporting the privatization of this natural resource upon which life depends? Consider challenging this notion by abandoning bottled water consumption; take the corporations to task on their behaviors and decisions today!
Municipal Source Water is water bottled from a municipal source and must be clearly labeled. The only time this requirement is dropped is if the municipal water was used, but then treated and processes so that it can be labeled as distilled or purified.
Take action: Rather than buying pre-packaged water, and wasting vital resources here on earth, you should consider supporting municipal water much as these United States Mayors do.
Purified / Distilled / Deionized / Reverse Osmosis Water is water that has been produced by a process such as distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis or other suitable processes. Of course, Nanaqua is superior to all of these waters, as it is "assembled" from atoms, and is therefore pure by design, rather than hoping to be pure by removal of impurities.
Catchy Gimmicks: All bottled waters use catchy gimmicks, and lofty claims as to their sources — otherwise, how could the consumer distinguish between them and establish a brand loyalty? It's all just water folks! However, bottled water wastes far more resources than it is worth. Make a difference today: Get your water outside of the bottled system!
Spring Water is water that is collected from a source underground. It is collected from a bored hold that taps the source of the spring. Although it usually requires minimal treatment before it is bottled, it must retain the same physical properties and composition as the natural spring water from which it originates.
Ponder on this: Back when we were kids, walking uphill in the snow both ways, we'd drink water from springs directly. Nowadays, folks are just plain lazy, and share in a collective sense of entitlement that includes having their water served to them in convenient and pretentious little plastic bottles, which consume vast resources to produce. It's past time for this behavior to end. Make the effort to at least establish a permanent and reusable drinking container, and then fill that from local sources.
Sterile Water is water that must meet "sterility tests" set by the U.S. Government. Of course, Nanaqua is sterile- you'll taste the difference, and love our lack of bacteria and contaminates!
Ponder on this: It doesn't matter how you take your water when it's all coming from municipal or tap sources, and then branded. If you're concerned about the quality of water at home or in your workplace, you can always look into filtering solutions for these water supplies. There is simply no good reason to be buying the same water at increased expense to us all.
Structured Micro-Cluster Water is water that is supposedly created at the molecular level. This water is not engineered by dihydrogen monoxide nanobots specifically, but is actually a marketing scheme that purports to assemble water "at the molecular level".
Don't believe the hype! All the water companies have are brands and gimmicks which they use to make you think one brand of water is special and more useful to you than another. It's all marketing crap, and it's all costing us dearly.
Well Water is water that is pumped or collected using mechanical means from a groundwater aquifer (a water-bearing rock or soil formation located underground) it is the good stuff that your grandparents were reared on...filtered through the carcasses of dead animals, like Bigfoot!
Don't be afraid of well water! If you're distrusting of well water, and instead, want your water to come from a soft drink company, then you are contributing to an untenable situation — you are a willing subject to one of the most dangerous marketing experiments ever conducted on the human population. You should educate yourself on the matter, and reconsider. Now.
First and foremost, you should ask yourself the following questions about bottled water in general:
