Bottled Water Quality Report		How to Maintain Your Bottled Water Cooler
OUR WATER IS BOTTLED FRESH, AT OUR PLANT, HERE IN SAN ANTONIO  . . .     Our home office is here in San Antonio, so there is no out of town operator to deal with !! Your Culligan bottled water meets all federal and state health standards.  FDA regulates bottled water as a food product whereas EPA regulates tap water as provided by water utilities.  Standards of quality enacted by the FDA for bottled water must be as protective of the public health as EPA’s standards (known as Maximum Contaminant Levels or MCLs) for tap water.  Ensuring the safety of the water is our primary objective in providing our product to the consumer. And don't we also want it to be refreshingly pure and essentially tasteless and odorless, like water is supposed to be?? WATER SOURCE  . . . Culligan San Antonio's Bottling facility uses City of San Antonio Municipal Water as it's source.  City-owned wells bring water to surface reservoirs from deep within the Edwards Aquifer.  Before distribution the water is chlorinated by the city to ensure bacterial safety.  The water in these aquifers begins as rain and runs below the surface until the city pumps it up to storage tanks for distribution.  Layers of solid rock provide a mostly impervious (im-passable) protective cover for the aquifer water.  This source water is considered safe to drink by the city, which follows Federal Drinking Water Safety Guidelines, including frequent monitoring for physical and bacterial contaminants.  Culligan tests our source water regularly to verify that it is of extremely high quality. Though generally considered safe to consume, some people desire an even cleaner water for their personal use, for drinking and cooking, and Culligan is able to purify the San Antonio city water to a considerably higher standard with the processes described below.

The quality of bottled water is ensured by a “multi-barrier” approach which includes various treatment methods.  Bottled water products labeled as spring or municipal well water must come from protected sources which are monitored frequently.  International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) member companies, such as us, use a variety of practices to ensure the safety and high quality of the products. Multiple stages of filtration that Culligan uses  include carbon filtration which removes organic and chlorinated compounds and tastes and odors, micron and particulate filtration to remove sediment and suspended particles, reverse osmosis, a process that removes nearly all of the salts, minerals and dissolved solids in the source water, and ozonation, a powerful oxidizing process which ensures bacteriological purity. All of our bottled water products are ozonated.  We use ozone instead of chlorine because it leaves no residual and it does not cause taste and odor problems.  Ozone is enhanced oxygen which is bubbled through the water just before it goes into a clean, sanitized bottle.  Within a few hours after the bottle has been filled and capped, the ozone, or O3, dissipates or converts back to the same form of oxygen that we breathe, O2, and of course combines with hydrogen to form pure water.
