How is PureFlo water processed?
PureFlo passes through Ultraviolet (UV) Filtration, Reverse Osmosis (RO) twice and a .5 micron filter. This produces Purified water. We then add minerals to bring the total dissolved solids (TDS) up to 135 parts per million (PPM).
Where does PureFlo water come from?
The PureFlo Deep Well source is a 910 foot well at our bottling facility at the base of Cowles Mountain in Santee. The well source is stainless steel encased to a depth of 900 feet.
How often is PureFlo water tested?
PureFlo is tested by our own quality assurance personnel on an hourly basis. A weekly test of each product is sent to a California State approved independent laboratory for further testing. Once a year, an extensive test is performed by another State and Federal approved independent laboratory. PureFlo complies with all local, state and federal regulations. PureFlo is a member of the National Sanitary Foundation, the International Bottled Water Association, and the California Bottled Water Association. PureFlo complies with all membership requirements of these organizations.
What kinds of minerals are added to the drinking water?
The same as are found in natural water, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, and Sodium Bicarbonate.
Is PureFlo water deionized?
PureFlo uses a special process called Electrodeionization.
Is PureFlo water effervescent?
No, effervescent water is bubbly due to quantities of gasses such as Carbon Dioxide.
What is the difference between well water and spring water?
Well water is pumped to the surface from a lower level. Spring water flows to the surface through natural pressure as opposed to being pumped to the surface.

To label water as distilled, it must be processed with heat for evaporation, and then condensed. PureFlo's Purified water is accomplished through pressurization and Reverse Osmosis.
