A Natural Mineral Water

Carbon dioxide IMPROVES the Texture of Water

As we know, hard water has a high mineral content. The minerals are

mostly metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the form of

carbonates.

CaCO3 and MgCO3

SP3, Part II

As everybody knows there is a difference between Hard, SP3 and Soft water

Hard water contains Calcium and Magnesium and has a ‘hard’ feel when washing when compared to Soft water. People who have a water softener quite often claim they cannot get rid of soap from their body when washing! This is because they are continuing to use the same amount of soap etc.

Carbon Dioxide and Water Texture

SP3, Part II

In reality, they can reduce their soap use by up to 50% and still get the

same effect as washing in hard water#. However, customer feedback has

also shown that SP3 water can save you money on soap use when

compared to hard water.

This is particularly important for people who want to enjoy some benefits

of soft water, but do not want water that is totally softened.

Improved Water Texture with SP3: SP3 water is enriched with CO2. The CO2 bubbles reduces surface tension to improve the texture and feel of the water and inturn makes the water have a better feel to it when washing.

Balance Levels of Carbonation

CaCO3 H2O Carbonated CO2

Minerality of water is determined by the minerals it contains. Calcium and

Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3 and CaCO3) are the key minerals.

They give texture but do not suppress other minerals such as potassium,

sodium, sulfate, silica, bicarbonates and trace elements. Lead and copper

are removed by SP3 media in all contents and concentrations.

5WATCH GmbHA Water Company

Gases, colloids or sediments are not included in the minerals measurement.

Minerals are the second most important factor in healthy food. A high mineral

water falls in the category of Classic Water.

SP3 Water for DrinkingA Natural Mineral Water

Classic Water is a main workhorse when

pairing food and water.

Classic Water is also perfect for coffee, tea

and mixed drinks. If you have low minerals

then SP3 water is a good choice for all drinks

and beverages.

A guide to water hardness levels

CaCO3 Hardness (ppm) CaCO3 Hardness (US) Category

17 – 60 mg/L 1 – 3.4 gpg Slightly Hard Water

60 – 120 mg/L 3.4 – 6.7 gpg Moderately Hard water

120 – 180 mg/L 6.7 – 10 gpg Hard water

180 mg/L and above 10 gpg and above Very Hard water

Over 60% of the UK water has hard/very hard water!

Structured Water = H2O 100% natural

SP3 Water is Structured Water

SP3, Part II

Hard tap waters contain two types of hardness, Temporary and Permanent. Together they make Total Hardness.

Hardness – Ca(HCO3)2 water creates scale in pipes, hot water appliances, dishwashers, washing machines, showers, taps etc. It also makes cleaning more difficult and more dependent on soaps and synthetic detergents. In industry, scale builds up in boilers, heat exchangers and coffee machines etc., to name but a few applications. When hard water passes through the SP3 unit, the bracket of Ca(HCO3)2 is opened and changes its TEXTURE to

Temporary Hardness •Ca(HCO3)2

•Mg(HCO3)2

And

Permanent Hardness •Sulfate (SO4)•Chloride (Cl)•Silica (SiO2)

The importance of pH in water

pH of the water is a most important factor in all drinking water

applications. The pH (potential Hydrogen) measures the level of acidity

or alkalinity. On the pH scale 1.0 to 6.8 is classified as acidic and is

generally not recommended for vending type applications. pH between

6.9 and 7.2 is nearly neutral and 7.3 to 14 is alkaline (or basic). All

natural waters or low alkaline waters (pH 7.2 to 7.5) are best for human

consumption. This level is generally accepted as ‘neutral’ to the human

tongue with regard to taste thresholds. Since pH is a Logarithmic scale,

the difference of 1 degree indicates a tenfold increase or decrease in

acidity or alkalinity. Water from weak acid cations with a pH of 5 for

example is 10 times more acidic than that with a pH of 6.

Structured Water

Definition of Structured;

Nothing added or subtracted and 100% natural

Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2

.

This in turn means the H2O water molecule has its outer electron shell

intact, i.e. in equilibrium and without a change. This is a structured water, a

water without the change in pH, without adding an impurity, a water that

can penetrate the body’s cells much more easily and therefore cleanse and

re-hydrate your body’s cells. It is this cleansing of your cells that

contributes to a healthier life.

TDS as a function of cell hydration property

The lower the TDS (Minerals) the

greater the cell hydrating properties

of the water.

All healthy cells are surrounded by

structured water.

All mineral waters with their unique

mineral composition are reputed to

have healthful properties.

Effect of minerals on your health

SP3, Part II

Herewith, we describe the most healthiest

minerals found in SP3 water and the benefits

these minerals can provide.

Compared to as an example a glass of wine,

the differences in taste between waters are

quite subtle. But they are nevertheless

discernible. Local geological strata impart

water with different minerals, giving each and

every single source of drinking water a unique

set of minerals and taste

Magnesium and the Human Body

SP3, Part II

Magnesium (Mg++)

Almost all human cells have some level of magnesium in them and all

adults need four hundred milligrams (400 mg) of Mg++ everyday.

Magnesium is very important for the regulation of muscle contractions

and the transmission of nerve impulses and it activates energy producing

enzymes. Human beings complete bone structure relies on Mg++ and it

helps to expand blood vessels, which reduces the risk of heart attack.

Some illnesses are related to magnesium deficiency. Nervousness, lack

of concentration, dizziness and headaches or migraines are a contribution

of high sodium and lack of magnesium in water . Magnesium is an

accepted and important flavour carrier and enhances the flavours

available in your cuppa!

13WATCH GmbHA Water Company

Calcium (Ca++) only SP3 can do

It is recommended that every adult needs about 800 mg of Ca++ per

day – babies don’t require more than 300 mg/day but all youngsters

between fifteen and nineteen year olds need significantly more.

The many benefits include stabilizing bone structure, teeth and cell

membranes, ensuring nerve and muscle impulses are properly

transmitted and helping to prevent blood clotting. Calcium also has a

balancing effect for some skin allergies. Bone decalcification

(osteoporosis) and fractures become more likely if a bodies calcium

levels are not maintained. The best water for drinking should have

between 200 mg/liter to 400 mg/liter calcium.

What is Textured water?

SP3, Part II

Natural carbonated water is water that contains CARBON DIOXIDE GAS

(CO2). The natural gas in temporary hardness Ca(HCO3)2 when it comes

into contact with solid particles of SP3 media creates:

This CO2 gas creates bubbles in the water (H2O), leading to an effervescent

TEXTURE that improves its feel and appearance when washing.

Additionally, this effervescence promotes enjoyable drinking water. This

water is known as “Light Sparkling Effervescent Water” or SP3 water.

Natural carbonated water has many examples and they have been

consumed for centuries by people who believe in its Heath Benefits.
