Water is an essential part of our life and existence. Our planet earth’s 70% area is covered with water. This includes oceans, lakes, ponds, seas, and rivers. Glaciers are also a source of water formation and therefore, they are also considered to be a source of water. But did you know only 14% of the available water is drinkable? Out of which 12% is trapped in glaciers and ice. So, that leaves us with 2% of water drinkable to human beings.
However, we are still unable to quench the thirst of many due to the lack of a proper filtration system. Many people in villages and rural areas still drink groundwater through tube wells or wells. Although the water seems okay to many, they contain microorganisms and other minerals that affect the health of the drinkers. Many get diarrhea or suffer from constipation due to consumption of these unchecked water sources. Therefore, natural drinking water production is necessary of the hour.
How to set up a drinking water company?
Setting up a natural drinking water company requires capital investments into sophisticated machinery, filtration units, raw groundwater, and other tools. But putting up equipment is not enough to be credited for natural drinking water production.
You will also need proper documents and certificates from the local authorities to qualify your system. But we will get into that later after finishing the initial setup requirements. So, if you are also looking forward to sanctioning a drinking water company, make sure that you have the following units:
- Water supply – water supply is very important as it is the raw material that needs to be processed for a finished product.
- Filtration units – these units are readily available in the market. All you need is to connect the units and allow the water to flow through them. These filtration units are segregated into three layers. The first layer filters the clay, mud, and silt from the water. The second layer contains micro-sieves to remove small particles from the water. The third filter removes the dirt and insects from the water.
- UV system – as soon as the water filters out, it is sent to a UV chamber. The UV rays kill the harmful pathogens in the water. This is considered the safest option for the removal of microorganisms as chemical removal leaves residue in the drinking water that may be harmful for consumption.
- RO system (optional) – RO or reverse osmosis is used to inject the essential minerals like sodium, calcium, and potassium back into the water in appropriate proportions.
What else is required for the drinking water supply?
Now that you have your product ready, you will need quality certifications from proper authorities to stamp your product fit for consumption. You will also require to register a company under the proper taxation acts to ensure the sales of the drinking water in the market. Once you have set all of these documents, you can now find a distribution partner or channels to promote your products in the market.
While setting up a natural drinking water company seems realistic and easy, the financial costs always plummet. So, if you have the resources and the zeal to provide the best quality drinking water to the people, you can set up a company. Otherwise, there are always options of becoming a distribution partner for already established branded mineral water companies.
