Prepared water: means bottled
water that has undergone any treatment acceptable for
bottled waters and may originate from any type of
water supply. Spring Water:
Bottled water sourced from an underground formation from
which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth,
and which is collected from the spring or a borehole
tapping the underground formation, and which may be
classified as a 'natural water' or 'water defined by
origin', depending on the treatments undergone.
Water defined by origin: Water originating from an
underground or surface water system, which flows naturally
from its source, e.g. spring water, artesian water, rain
water, etc. Distillation: Water is vapourised and, then condenses which- leaves the water free of any dissolved solids (minerals). De-ionisation: Water is passed through resins which remove most of the dissolved minerals. Reverse Osmosis: Water is forced under pressure through membranes which remove around 90% of the dissolved minerals.
