TWO WAYS OF DRINKING WATER

Tap or bottle, there is a better source.

IF YOU DRINK TAP WATER

The same water, without the extras.

  • Removes the taste and smell of chlorine.
  • Holds back the sand and rust that building pipes add.
  • Holds back microplastics, bacteria and other fine particles.
  • Keeps the minerals and adds magnesium.
  • Better for drinking, cooking and ice.

IF YOU BUY BOTTLED WATER

No more water jugs in the car.

  • No more carrying, storing and throwing away bottles.
  • No more drinking from plastic.
  • Good water comes out of the tap, whenever you need it.

HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND ON BOTTLED WATER?

litres a year
spent a year
1.5 L bottles a year

Example values: 25 L a week is what two adults drink, according to the EFSA recommendation (about 2 to 2.5 L of water a day, 70 to 80% from drinks). A 5.4 L jug of a common brand costs between €1.59 and €1.81 in Portugal, about €0.30 per litre.Calculator →
YOUR BODY

You are made of water too.

Every glass you drink becomes part of you. That is why it is worth making it water you actually enjoy drinking.

  • 60%

    of an adult body is water, on average.

  • 73%

    of the brain and heart is water.

  • 2.5L

    of water a day is the recommended intake for an adult man; 2 L for a woman, including water from food.

When water tastes good, you feel like drinking it. That is all we promise.
