Fiji Water
FIJI Water is a brand of bottled water which is
bottled in the Fiji Islands. The water comes from an
artesian well in the Yaqara Range of the Nakauvadra
Mountains.
FIJI Company was formed in 1996 and the first bottles
were shipped to the United States in late 1997. FIJI
Water later became available at more retail locations
throughout North America, the United Kingdom, France,
Australia, much of the Caribbean, and Mexico.
Paramount Citrus is the parent company of FIJI Water.
It is available in .33 litre, .5 litre, and 1.5 litre
bottles.
The company behind FIJI Water claims that it is
purified by trade winds as it travels across the
Pacific Ocean towards the islands of FIJI.
Specifically the water is drawn from an artesian
aquifer located in the valley of Viti Levu, confined
by volcanic rock from external influence. The company
claims that in the case of FIJI Water, location is
key, and because of the islands’ remote displacement
from the other continents, it is protected by its
antiquity from pollutants and other negative
artificial contaminants.
FIJI Water is sealed in the aquifer and, according to
the company, the bottling process is specifically
designed to prevent the water from coming into contact
with man or even the atmosphere until the cap is
opened by the consumer. This ensures a lack of
stagnating bacterial content.
Artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing
groundwater that will flow upwards out of a well
without the need of pumping. An aquifer provides the
water for an artesian well. An aquifer is a layer of
soft rock, like limestone or sandstone, which absorbs
water from an inlet path. Porous stone is crushed
between impermeable rocks or clay. This keeps the
pressure high, sow when the water finds a hole; it
defies gravity and goes up.
Artesian wells were named after the former province of
Artois in France, where many artesian wells were
drilled by Carthusian monks since 1126.
FIJI Water is drawn from an artesian aquifer located
at the very edge of a primitive rainforest, a
continent away from the nearest industrialized
civilization. FIJI Water’s rainfall is purified by
equatorial winds after traveling thousands of miles
across the Pacific Ocean.
Some basic information about FIJI Water is that the
water originates from the Nakauvadra Mountains in
Fiji. FIJI Water is still. Per liter of FIJI Water,
each bottle contains a pH of 7.5, 17mg of calcium(Ca),
13mg of Magnesium(Mg), 85mg of Silica(SiO2), and 210mg
TDS(total dissolved solids)
