Purified Water
Our water is bottled by Creekside Springs.
Creekside produces drinking water by either reverse osmosis or distillation:
Reverse Osmosis (RO) - This type of water has been produced via a multi-step filtration process preceding reverse osmosis, a process whereby water is “forced” under high pressure through a series of membranes. The RO process is the most commercially accepted process regarding the purification of water on a large scale. Purified water may also be referred to as "demineralized water." It meets the definition of "purified water" in the United States Pharmacopoeia. The RO process typically produces a total dissolved solid (TDS) level, which is a measure of remaining solids within a liquid of 10 parts per million (PPM) or less
Distilled Water - Water that has been vaporized into steam, then cooled to re-condense it back into water. The water's minerals are left behind, leaving only pure tasting steam-distilled water. Distilled water is defined as a process by the FDA and not an end product. Creekside actually utilized RO purified water as a source for its distillation units. The distillation typically produces a product with a TDS of less than 10 parts per million and can produce a TDS of less than 1 ppm depending upon the distillation equipment and source water.
