Frequently Asked Questions

Reverse Osmosis - the process or the technology which is used to remove ions, mineral chemicals, and other impurities from drinking water. In this process, greater pressure is applied, forcing the water to travel through the semipermeable membrane in opposite to natural osmosis.

Total Dissolved Solids - which is the total concentration of dissolved substances in water measured as PPM (Parts Per Million). TDS comprises organic matter and inorganic salts such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and others. Contrary to popular belief, a low TDS level does not automatically mean that the water is of a better quality. RO water removes a lot of natural minerals from water, and over-filtering will render the water "dead", devoid of flavour and trace minerals and tasting "dry". A TDS rating of less than 50 PPM is considred to be Excellent, Anker Water has a TDS rating of 48.

The abbreviation pH stands for "potential of hydrogen. pH in water is a measure of how acidic/basic the water is. The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. According to regulatory bodies such as the WHO and EPA, the optimal pH range for drinking water lies between 6.5 and 8.5, Anker Water has an avarage pH of 7 - 8.

The most common packaging material for single-serve, non-carbonated bottled water in the United States and Europe is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. Marked in many countries with resin identification code number "1", PET is 100% recyclable, though recycling rates vary by region.

Spring water is among the healthiest water to drink because it offers several benefits. It is naturally purified from an underground source, which means it is free of harmful contaminants like lead and chlorine. Since it does not undergo added filtration before bottling, it retains the beneficial minerals in the water.

Alkaline water may be one of the healthiest waters to consume. The pH level of regular drinking water is a neutral 7. Alkaline water has a pH level of 8 to 9.5. It contains properties that may even protect your body from free radicals, which are often linked to inflammation and many chronic diseases..

RO (Reverse Osmosis) water has undergone a process that removes upto 98% of the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) in water including the harmful chemicals along with the very essential minerals making it safer but not healthier for regular consumption and botteling.

While you can add purchased flavored drink mixes to water, you can also make your own flavored water by infusing it with different fruits and herbs. Infusing water with a little flavor is really simple. Fill a pitcher with water, add thinly sliced fruits, herbs or spices, and chill in the refrigerator. For best flavor, leave at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator to let the flavors of the fruit infuse into the water.

Bottled water can be kept for up to two weeks once it has been opened, but it can be used for up to one or two years if it hasn't been opened. In some cases, depending on the storage container, RO/UV cleaned water can be kept for up to six months.
