10 Best Water Brands May 2017

#1 of 10 Leading Water Labels of 2017 - Premium fresh drinking water is perhaps the most vital resource on the planet, yet there are so few legitimate sources of such water that require no or little processing after to make them viable options. Tibet 5100 is a brand that collects from such a legitimate source, and they have been doing so for more than ten years. Their experience has allowed them to nearly perfect the collection and bottling process, and their water never touches modern air before the customer opens the seal on the individual bottle. Their source spring is highly protected by the natural snowy peaks of Tibet, and their bottling facility is at the site of the spring.

#2 of 10 Leading Water Labels of 2017 - Waiākea (why-uh-kay-uh), volcanic water comes from the Mauna Loa volcano. Mauna Loa is not only the planet’s most active volcano, but it’s also largest mountain on Earth when measured from its base--below sea level. A combination of arctic moisture and trade winds creates plenty of rain and snow on the mountainous slopes. The water bottled by Waiākea is naturally filtered through thousands of feet of porous lava rock--giving the water it’s unique blend of Hawaiian volcanic mineral water its smooth refreshing taste.

#3 of 10 Top Water Labels of 2017 - Fiji Water starts as pure rain that falls into a tropical, secluded rain forest. This rain takes a long journey filtering through volcanic rock, picking up electrolytes and minerals along the way. This unique mineral content is what gives Fiji Water its signature soft, smooth taste. The water then gathers in a natural artesian aquifer, where it is bottled at the source. Human hands never come in contact with the water until you open the bottle.

#4 of 10 Best Water Labels of 2017 - Since 1863, Perrier has delighted customers by offering top-quality carbonated water for an affordable price and in an appealing format that hasn't been--and likely cannot be--replicated by competitors.

To be sure, over one billion bottles of the beverage are enjoyed by customers annually. After 150 years, Perrier isn't showing any signs of slowing down in terms of sales or taste.

#5 of 10 Top Water Labels of 2017 - When VOSS Waters was first founded only a few years back, the two friends who created the brand had a singular vision in mind. Their goal was to spread the appreciation for their homeland of Norway with the world, and they decided that distributing the premium fresh water from the region was the best option for accomplishing that task. They started small, only shipping their products to a few nations here and there, but now their products can be purchased in more than 50 countries. They have worked hard to spread the word of their stellar products to every corner of the world.

#6 of 10 Leading Water Labels of 2017 - Evian has enjoyed a world-class reputation for generations, and many people are unaware of the true reason behind the exquisite success of the brand. The real source of their success is the fact that their water is so unique. The brand has existed for well over 200 years, and during that time few other brands have been able to match the exceptional natural quality of Evian. In 1878, it was declared legitimately beneficial to human health by the French Academy of Medicine, and that distinction is what carried its fame through the last century. Evian is a taste like no other.

#7 of 10 Leading Water Labels of 2017 - Smartwater, a brand of vapor distilled water, is bottled and sold in the United States by Energy Brands, an independent subsidiary of the Coca-Cola Company. The bottled water is distilled by heating the water to vaporize it, and then adding a mixture of electrolytes, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, to the water during the bottling process. The brand focuses its marketing on its production process, comparing the vaporization during the production of the water to drinking from clouds. Smartwater is available in two varieties, normal and sparkling.

#8 of 10 Leading Water Labels of 2017 - The Clairvic Spring in the French town of Volvic is the source for every drop of water in this brand named after its hometown. The spring is fed by the nearby Auvergne mountains, and those peaks were once violent volcanoes. They has since gone extinct, but their skeletons remain to purify and filter natural sources of water. Snow and rain that falls on the mountains travels down through the watershed and through those porous layers of sediment, and it finally reached the Clairvic Spring after a years-long journey. The town has protected the secret of the spring for ages, but now its water is available for purchase.

Sommeliers and master chefs throughout the world love the smooth taste of Hildon.

#10 of 10 Top Water Labels of 2017 - Icelandic Glacial is one of the most valuable resources found within Iceland because it is sourced from the Olfus Spring, a source that is protected on all sides by an industrial exclusion zone of 128,000 acres. That means no human activities are permitted within that area, and the spring itself is also 80 meters underground. There is no chance of the spring being compromised by pollution or contaminants of any sort. The water coming from the source is so voluminous that only a tiny percent can be collected for bottling. The vast majority continues on to the ocean where it become mixed with the salt water.

At a time when glaciers were still present in what is now the midwest United States, the glacier that carved Lake Michigan lost a large chunk of itself in the bedrock as it slowly traversed the landscape. That giant ice chunk became covered over time, and it eventually melted into a vast underground aquifer. Indigo H2O collects their amazingly pure and crisp water from that aquifer, and it comes from the well at a pH of 8.8. That pH is consistent throughout every bottle, and it is due to the huge mineral content bestowed by the very bedrock that captured the ice in the first place.

VEEN Waters is named after one of the most respected fictitious characters in Finnish folklore, Veen Emonen. That character's name is translated to the Mother of Water, and she represented the source of all fresh water in the world. When VEEN Waters was founded in 2006, the idea that such perfect water exists in the world was the driving force. The founders wanted to seek out those sources and bottle them for distribution to those who don't have access to such purity and delicious quality. Their first spring was tapped in their founding year, and it took them over eight years to find a suitable second source.

The Mountain Valley Spring was purchased by Peter and John Greene in 1871, but the spring already had a great reputation at that time. The water from the spring was said to have revitalizing powers, and it was known far and wide, so the brothers decided to build a hotel to house guests to the spring, and they also decided to start bottling the water for distribution. Soon they were solely focused on the bottled water distribution since the hotel burned down on multiple occasions, and the spring remains one of the most valuables sources of fresh water in the United States.

All across the world, consumers have come to rely upon Dasani as a safe and delicious bottle of drinking water. In recent years, the company has gone to great lengths to ensure that it is a steward of the environment, working on ways to recycle the plastic that is used in the bottle. Whether someone is at school grabbing a bottle of water from the vending machine or they're on the go drinking some Dasani on their commute to work, bottles of Dasani can be seen everywhere.

SNO Water sources their product from a glacial source located in the pristine Icelandic wilderness. The source is known as the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, and it has been the source for pure water for generations in Iceland. The glacier is so massive that the brand only has to collect a tiny portion for bottling, and the rest simply goes on to the ocean. Nothing is ever added or taken from SNO Water in the bottling process, and the mineral content within provides the water with an alkaline pH of 7.4. That pH is nearly neutral, but it has just enough alkalinity to be beneficial.

It is hard to deny the world-class quality and premium taste that comes from Lauquen Artes, a brand of amazing and delicious bottled water from the New Patagonia region of Argentina in South America. That region has scarcely been explored or disturbed by the activities of modern man, so it is the perfect location for a source of premium drinking water that has been untainted by pollution. Deep beneath the rocky Andes Mountains is an artesian well that has been collecting water for generations, and every drop that arrives in the well is exceptionally pure and loaded with vital nutrients.

Some brands of bottled water are merely more suited for success than others, and for very few brands is that more true than Gerolsteiner. They were incredibly lucky right from their start in 1888 when they first tapped their initial source spring. That spring held a secret that would allow Gerolsteiner to survive as a bottled water brand for more than a century. Water from the spring could be bottled under pressure and it would develop natural carbonation thanks to the presence of high levels of natural carbonic acid in the water. Investors hopped aboard after seeing the potential for the brand, and the rest is history.

The source for 10 Thousand BC lies on the floor of the ocean in a location that is used solely by the brand. That source was formed approximately 12,000 years ago, hence the name of the brand, and it has remained untouched throughout all that time. The water is so pristine that it exists in a state of purity that literally can not be matched with modern, artificial methods. With dissolved solids at only 4 parts per million, other brands of bottled water can only dream of reaching purity of that level. 10 Thousand BC is completely natural and highly refreshing.
