Bottled Water - After finding out that Disani and Aqua Fina are purified water from the Detroit River.?

Question

I cant stomache the fact that these waters are just purified Detroit River water. Anyone else give up these two brands.

P.S. Have a friend who is a Pepsi regional account manager and he confirmed it.

Per the Ice Mountain bottle....Sources: Sanctuary Spring, Rodney, MI and/or Evart Spring, Evart, MI.

Oops, you must be a moron for even answering.

Answer 1

You have to read the labels carefully. If it says "purified" water then it is just tap water that is filtered.

For true spring water the label will say spring and will list the source.

Answer 2

Dasani Water tastes disgusting anyway. It always has. I swear I can taste the plastic bottle of that water.

As far as you being upset that these companies use municipal tap water supplies.., uh. What did you think it was? Water from the Swiss Alps? If you want that, get ripped off by Evian. Or perhaps you thought it was from the Norwegian Alps? If you want that, get ripped off by Voss Water. Those waters cost way more than Dasani or AquaFina ever will.

Although Dasani and AquaFina use municipal tap water sources, it still goes through an extra multi stage reverse osmosis purification process. And I don't care what anyone says, AquaFina tastes 100% better than what we have for tap water in Southern California, U.S.A. Long live Aquafina.

Now normally I don't feel compelled to defend corporations, however this idea that Pepsi and Coke were misleading about the source of their purified waters is simply untrue. It says right on the label, PURIFIED DRINKING WATER. It doesn't say SPRING WATER or water from Swiss Alps. They also have a customer service phone number on the back of the label if you have further questions

Start reading the labels, unlike most people. Most people don't read labels for some reason.

Whoever said all water is the same..do some research. Bottled water is the biggest scam in my opinion. There are only 2 out there that are good. Aquafina, and Disani. both are Reverse Osmosis. Ive tested all the bottled water out there. You're better off filling from your tap and save your money. simple way to find out how bad the water is. check out the label. Every label has a number followed by p.p.m (parts per million) for example. 200 ppm. and so on. city water ranges from 180 to 220 (depending on the area you are in). NESTLE spring water is the worst it reads at 550ppm. Evian i believe is 300. ANYTHING under 10parts per million is considered purified water. so next time u pick up a bottle take a look at how high the number is. the higher it is, the worse it is. also, now you have to worry about the plastic bottles. those plastic bottles leaches toxins in your water after opening. next time, take a few sips, leave it sitting in the open for an hour, and come back..i promise you itll taste like plastic!

There are several Dasani bottlers scattered across the country. Look at this list of bottled water brands that have passed inspection and are allowed to be sold in West Virginia. There are eleven different Dasani bottling operations and three more that use Coca-Cola HQ as their mailing address.

The Dasani that they sell here is bottled by South Atlantic Canners and comes from the Lynches River in Bishopville, South Carolina. As a resident of Bishopville, I fish, swim and bathe in unbottled Dasani water.

The city water system uses the Lynches River as it's source, so I drink Dasani straight out of the tap, and have for 40 years. It's pretty good stuff! :)

Answer 5

If you have ever tasted real spring water you would know how great tasting it is none of the bottled water I tried has that taste I live in St Louis and I have a filter on my tap it taste like bottled water but nothing can replace good ice cold spring water when it comes from a real spring it is already ice cold.

Answer 6

i would pay 10.00 for a glass of water when i am thirsty. i do not drink pop. and i am pretty sure the water at my house is filtered detroit river water since i live 7 streets from the river, so basically it is the same water i drink, wash my clothes and bathe in...so basically i will buy a bottle of water no matter what brand

Answer 7

My daughter and were recently in Disney World, and all they sell is Disani, and it was close to 100 degrees out, so we were terribly thirsty all the time. My daughter was so mad that all they had water wise was Disani, where is that at? I won't buy it or Aqua Fina, period, now that I know for sure.

Answer 9

What planet do you import your water from ? It all comes from the same place - it just depends on where you get your glass filled. Bottled water is exactly that : H2O in a jar.
If you're lucky enough to have drinkable tap water, why spend money on a disposable plastic container full of the same water that's in your faucet ?
If your tap water can't be drunk - you have an issue with your utility company failing to do their job.

Answer 10

I know someone that works at coke and they told me a long time ago about dasani water. I just have a brita filtered picture and use my tap water to refill bottles. Tastes the same to me!
