At
Polaris, we can provide three different types of water: pure glacial
spring water, distilled water and premium (reverse osmosis) water.
Pure
Glacial Spring Water
Our glacial
spring water comes from our privately-owned source located in the
Coastal Mountains north of Whistler away from all industry or development.
The ultimate source of the water is from the alpine glaciers that
melt and flow through the protected Watershed into our Spring aquifer.
The water is
filtered and ozonated to ensure a consistent quality while maintaining
the waters natural state. Because our glacial spring water has a
low natural mineral level, it has a "soft" and "crisp"
taste without any mineral aftertaste.
Premium
(Reverse Osmosis) Water
Our premium
water is Reverse Osmosis processed. RO purification uses a very
tight filter under pressure that removes minerals from the water.
The end result is water similar in chemistry to Distilled water
- all the minerals have been removed. As the water has not been
"heated" the end taste is different from distilled but
the purity is basically the same.
Distilled
Water
The distillation
process is essentially boiling water at a high heat, collecting
the steam vapour, condensing it and filtering the final product.
This is a purification process that will remove any minerals and
produce water that is 99.99% pure.
