How is your water purified? Borrego Springs Drinking Water: We conduct a multi-step process including carbon filtration to remove unwanted particles; reverse osmosis to remove most dissolved solids and a final ozonation to ensure purity. The result? High-quality water.
Borrego Springs Purified Water: This is water in its purest form with essentially all minerals removed. The Drinking Water is processed further by deionization to remove all remaining salts and minerals.
Borrego Springs Mountain Water: Our Spring Water is sourced from the pristine mountains in San Diego County like Laguna and Palomar. We remove unwanted particles through micron filtration. To ensure purity, we add a process called ozonation. Ozone is
bubble through the water to ensure it is bacterialogically safe.
How does your drinking water differ from tap water?
Normally, tap water is processed differently. It is filtered, but it does not pass through purification systems such as deionization and/or reverse osmosis. Also, almost all tap water
is chlorinated to kill bacteria, and the mineral levels in tap water may be inconsistent and
are typically higher than those in our bottled water.
How much bottled water should your store for emergencies?
Experts recommend that you should store one gallon per person per day for up to a week.
What is the difference between purified and distilled water?
Purified and distilled essentially the same product: water in its purest form with all the
minerals removed. The difference is in the process used to remove the minerals.
Distillation involves a heating process that converts water into steam, leaving the minerals
or impurities behind. Water processed by this method is called distilled water. However, the same result can be achieved by using deionization and reverse osmosis, water processed by these methods is called purified.
How much water should you drink per day?
Experts recommend that you drink eight 8-ounce servings each day. If you are active or the weather is warm, drink an additional one to two servings to stay hydrated.
Where can I buy your water?
In addition to home and office delivery, our bottled water can be found on store shelves in Borrego Springs, Santa Ysabel, and select retail stores in San Diego and Imperial counties.
How is bottled water different from tap water?
Consistent quality and taste are two of the principle differences between bottled water and tap water. Quality is in every container of bottled water. It is consistent, and inspected and monitored by governmental as well as private laboratories. Tap water can be inconsistent; while tap water comes from protected sources (75% from underground aquifers and springs) tap water mostly comes from rivers and lakes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reported that hundreds of tap water sources have failed to meet minimum standards.
Is bottled water regulated differently from tap water?
Yes. Bottled water is regulated by the FDA as a food product and must meet all applicable food packaging regulations. Tap water is regulated by the U.S. EPA and is regarded as a utility.
What is the proper way to store bottled water?
Bottled water should be stored in a cool (i.e. room temp), dry environment away from chemicals such as household cleaning products and away from solvents such as gasoline, paint thinners and other toxic materials.
Where is your water sourced?
Borrego Springs Bottled Water sources water from the deep aquifers in Borrego Springs and from licensed mountain springs in the Laguna and Palomar Mountains of San Diego County.
