The bottled water company I chose is Fiji water. Fiji's water is drawn from a artesian aquifer that lies hundreds of feet below a rainforest. Apparentley the distance and isolation of the water makes it purer, healthier, and richer. Fiji water treatment process include coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection. A liter of fiji water costs about 2 dollars. Sold in America, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and more.

ReplyDeleteThe bottled water I chose was Aquafina water.Aquafina is a brand of bottled water products produced by PepsiCo, Inc., consisting of both unflavored and flavored water. The As of 2009, Aquafina represented 13.4 percent of domestic bottled water sales in the United States, making it the number 1 bottled water brand as measured by retail sales. The Aquafina brand, is derived from local municipal water sources and goes through a purification process that incorporates reverse osmosis, ultraviolet and ozone sterilization it is called HYDRO-7. Beginning on July 27, 2007, a disclaimer was added to each bottle of Aquafina, stating the water comes from a "public source". Aquafina is distributed in 12 US fluid ounces (0.35 l), 500 millilitres (17 US fl oz), 20 US fluid ounces (0.59 l), 24 US fluid ounces (0.71 l), 1 litre (34 US fl oz), 1.5 litres (51 US fl oz) bottles.Aquafina brand rang up $1.1 billion in sales in 2010.It was first distributed in Wichita, Kansas in 1994, before becoming more widely sold across the United States, Canada, Lebanon, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.It is 16.9 fluid oz.The cost is about 99 cents per bottle.
ReplyDeleteThe bottled water brand I chose was Evian. It comes from French and Swiss Alps converge around the Mont Blanc, and the lake side town of Evian-Les- Bains. It comes from an aquifer that dates back to approximately 30,000 years ago, formed by the rise and fall of glaciers. It is fed by rain, snow and melted ice which slowly travels to the natural spring’s mouth through a huge natural filter made of ultra-fine sand. The aquifer is completely insulated from the threat of outer infiltration by dense layers of protective clay. This natural process shields Evian Natural Spring Water from the outside world.It took thousands of years to form. Glacial movement and the fast flow of water and ice created mountains and deltas and made a natural filter for the water that emerges in Evian. Evian is so pure and natural, it is not processed or treated in any way. As given by strict French law, Evian is bottled at its source. About 100 million bottles are sold a year. It costs about $1.79 per liter(If math is correct). It's sold in America, Europe, and The UK.

The water brand I choose would be Arrowhead. This water is taken from carefully chosen mountain springs in California. Because this water comes from rain & snow it is naturally filtered through the ground. One liter of this brand of water is about $0.79 to $1 depending on the store you purchase it from. The annual sales revenue is anywhere from $8 to $10 million dollars.

I chose Voss Water. Voss Water comes from artesian water from Norway. Its source is an aquifer that is protected by many layers of impermeable rock from pollutants. The water is not filtered, it is immediately bottled when the pressure makes the water rise to the surface. Voss is available across the world and will be shipped anywhere. Voss costs about 3 dollars per liter. Their company annual revenue has not been released but a private company selling voss makes around $500,000 a year off of Voss Water.

The bottled water company I chose is Bling H20. It is known to be the most expensive water that you can buy. It was created as a high-end fashionable bottle of water, invented by Kevin G. Boyd. This water is said to be drawn from natural springs in Dandridge, Tennessee. The Bling H20 Company claims to use a nine step purification process that includes ozone, ultraviolet treatment, and microfiltration. All according to the size of the bottle, these overpriced and overdone water bottles cost anywhere from $20 to as much as $75 per bottle!!! Bling H20 is sold at a price of £59 per liter. Right now Bling H20 is only sold in the United States.

The water company I chose to research on is called Tannourine. Tannourine is a Lebanese natural spring mineral water that has been used since 1978. They get their water from natural gushing springs, five abundant springs situated within meters of each others tap into the same reservoir but in different places. There are many features of natural purity in the water, but it is constantly monitored at the plant by qualified technicians that makes tannourine water pure, fresh, natural, and free of any chemical additive. The plant is equipped by standards and modern equipments as well as our clean rooms where the water is filled without any chemical treatment, except a mechanical filtration into the different containers the company distributes. A fleet of 60 vehicles and a staff of 200 persons work to distribute more than 5 millions boxes per year, door to door, for our agents & clients, supported by a team of 15 specialized administrators. Tannourine is distributed in countries on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Persian Gulf.
The water brand i have chosen is called, Sohat. Its source of water is is a mineral spring. It is then has dissolved salts and substances added to it. It is purified by passing through various geological layers, starting with the melted snow that seeps through the soil, then reaches a deep layer where it is stored before splashing up to the surface through natural features. It is reasonably priced. It is sold at the equivalence of two U.S. dollars. It is sold in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteI have chosen Volvic water which claims that it is from a volcanic aquifer. It says; Drawn from over 300 feet beneath the surface, Volvic water is transported directly from the volcanic aquifer to the bottle. It is the water that is conveyed through a stainless steel pipeline to the plant where it is bottled immediately without any exterior contact. I could not find the price per liter but if you buy one bottle they donate money or 10 bottles to Africa. You can buy it online and in some stores such as Participating Walgreen's.

ReplyDeleteThe brand of water I chose to talk about is Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water. The source of this company is from aquifers. What makes Crystal Geyser different from others, however, is that they are the only major bottled water company that bottles the water right at the spring source, whereas most companies truck their waters from different sources. For the treatment process they use a double disinfection process, when only one is needed, without taking any healthy minerals from the water. It is sold in the United States and being one of the only companies to be authorized to sell in France. It is almost about a dollar per liter.

After going through all those rocks, the after becomes mineral rich and pure crystal clear mineral water flows out of the peak of San Lorenzo Monte a hill which is also known as Paradise Hill.
