Primo water is not distilled. Primo Water uses a multi-step purification process to ensure the water is clean, pure, and safe to drink. The water originates from municipal sources, which means it comes from the local water supply.
The purification process Primo water goes through involves nine steps to ensure the highest quality water for its customers. First, the water goes through a sediment filter to remove any large particles or debris. This helps to clarify the water and remove any visible impurities.
Next, the water passes through a carbon filter, which helps to remove any remaining impurities such as chlorine, odors, and flavors. This step is important because it helps to improve the taste and smell of the water.
After the carbon filtration, the water undergoes a reverse osmosis process. Reverse osmosis is a highly effective method of removing dissolved solids, contaminants, and impurities from the water. It uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate the water from the impurities, leaving behind clean, pure water.
Once the water has gone through reverse osmosis, it goes through a UV sterilization process. This involves exposing the water to ultraviolet light, which helps to kill any remaining bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that may be present in the water. UV sterilization is a chemical-free method of disinfecting water and ensures that it is safe to drink.
To enhance the taste of the water, Primo also adds minerals back into the water after the purification process. These minerals help to give the water a refreshing and crisp taste.
The purified water is then stored in Primo's 3- or 5-gallon bottles, which are designed to be used with their water dispensers. These bottles are made from BPA-free materials to ensure that the water remains free from any harmful chemicals.
While Primo water is not distilled, it goes through a comprehensive purification process to ensure that it is clean, pure, and safe to drink. The multi-step process removes impurities, odors, and flavors, and the addition of minerals enhances the taste of the water.
