ICENI: Pure Still English Natural Mineral Water

English Natural Mineral Water

Iceni is a new English natural mineral water. Filtered through deep chalk strata it is naturally purified, high in calcium and low in sodium with a clean, refreshing taste.

Iceni Water, is named after the famous East Anglian tribe ruled by Boudicca in 60AD.

This young water is drawn from a continuously replenished aquifier in the heart of our country - so it doesn’t need to travel too far to reach you.

Available in 330ml, 500ml, 750ml and 1.5l 100% recyclable plastic bottles, Iceni will be available nationally in supermarkets and retailers from mid March 2008.

Purely English and naturally good for you.

‘Whether people view bottled water and tap water as identical or not is a moot point.’

 

P.T. Barnum

PT Barnum, The Shakespeare of Advertising

Barnum was the self-titled "Prince of Humbugs." He was masterful at putting on (as he calls them) "glittering appearances and novel expedients" to attract the public's attention. There are small but crucial differences between hoax, humbug, and out-and-out fraud, and Barnum tread dangerously close to transgressing at times. Still, Barnum was in the business of entertainment, and he always managed to deliver entertainment value to his customers. Even those who were tricked had to admit they had a good time in the process, and that it was worth the money they had paid.

I only buy bottled water as an emergency backup and then, it is more for the container than the water. I never understood why folks buy bottled water unless it is distilled.

Just do what half of us Americans do, add cool-aid to it.

I'm drinking bottled water right now. But I bottle it myself. I am the operator of a water company. The EPA makes us chlorinate our water. Luckily for me, I can go to the plant, turn on a well, and use a raw water tap to fill my jugs. It's so much better than the treated water!
Before the EPA stepped in and mandated treatment, the Ohio Department of Health told us our water was “pure, required no treatment, and was some of the best water in the state,” We had customer complaints for years after we were required to add chlorine!
So,,, what I'm getting at, is that the water that comes out of the taps is not the same water that comes out of the aquifer. So if the company is not treating the bottled water, or if it is treating it in a different manner, there could be quite a difference.

The tiny print on the label of the 5-gallon bottles on my company’s water cooler states that they are from the municipal water supply from the town I grew up in. I know they must filter it a lot before bottling it because it doesn’t look like slightly moistened limestone slurry and leave stalactites and stalagmites around the faucet. Yeah, the water was just a wee bit hard at home.

Note that Dasani is tap water.

And "Spring Water" is just groundwater that is coming out at the surface.

I'm looking at a bottle of Daytona Beach Bottled Water, it comes from the municipal source, it is ozonated and contains fluoride. I didn't buy it it was a gift I kept for the sentimental value. My water comes from a well with a Chem-Free iron filter and nothing else. I have the best water around and use non-disposable means to carry it with me. What a sham and a scam.
