Gladden offers three types of water
Purified Water - similar to most bottled water found in stores
Deionized Water - similar but typically more pure than Distilled Water.
Alkaline Water - Typically we set the ph for around 9 but upon request we can adjust the ph higher or lower to meet individual needs* Made fresh at last stage (cooler or sink faucet) so PH stays stable.
Typical production method:
1) Water is first softened to remove most hardness, minerals, iron, manganese, and other trace metals from the water.
2) Water moves to the automatic granular activated carbon filter. This filter removes most chlorine, organic compounds, THM's (chloroform and other carcinogenic byproducts), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical contaminates commonly found in many water supplies today.
3) The next stage is a five micron rated pre-filter, which is used as one of the final pre-treatment stages prior to the reverse osmosis treatment.
4) Water passes through reverse osmosis filtration and is stored.
5) From the storage tank, the water passes through coconut GAC (granular activated carbon) post filter. This filter will provide primary filtration of the purified water prior to disinfection and bottling.
6) At this stage, the one micron post filter will provide the final filtration to assure optimum clarity and purity of the water prior to bottling.
7) Ozone is added to the water. After about a day the ozone converts to oxygen.
The final product is Gladden Drinking Water that tastes great and is refreshing.
* ph levels are approximate and can flutuate. Individual testing can be done by consumer to insure the ph meets thier needs.
