Bottling Process and Tour

Welcome to our bottling plant!! While pictures don’t really do it justice, we’ve assembled a few photos to give you an idea of how the whole thing works.

We start with racks of empty bottles collected by our route managers. When they pick up your bottles at your home or office, they inspect each of them for cleanliness and put them into these blue racks. Once the racks arrive at the bottling line, the bottles are again inspected visually and the each bottle is sniffed for any foreign contaminants. Once a bottle passes these inspections, it is loaded onto the washer conveyor.

As you can see here, the bottles are then washed, sanitized, and rinsed in our state-of-the-art Aquatyzer Bottle Washer. The machine is controlled by computers and basically washes every bottle for about two minutes in a 140 degree washing solution. The bottle then gets rinsed and is then sanitized with an ozone solution (ozone is about 1500 more powerful than chlorine) and finally, the bottles are rinsed again with finished product water (the good stuff).

The bottles are then inverted and pass through to our filler – a 750 bottle per hour, pressurized filling line. Timers and pneumatic valves ensure each bottle is properly filled, capped and time/date coded – all without touching a human hand!

Finally, the bottles pass on to the racking area where they are reinserted into the blue racks that get loaded into our trucks every day.

We are very proud of the cleanliness and sanitary conditions of our bottling facility. One of these days, we may even put a video tour of our plant on the website!
