Our Process
Water That Revives and Nourishes
At Watershed, we turn ordinary tap water into a vibrant, life-giving elixir you’ll love. Since 1979, our family’s process has perfected water that’s clean, delicious, and brimming with nature’s energy—fueling your family’s health, your daily vitality, and your eco-conscious spirit. Every step builds on the last, ensuring water that hydrates deeper and tastes better than ever. Voted “Best Tasting” locally, it’s hydration you can feel good about.
Sediment Filter
Ever notice tiny particles swirling in your tap water? That’s sediment—dirt, sand, rust, or even traces of oil and arsenic that can dull its purity. We gently remove these starting your water fresh and clear, ready to nourish you without the grit.
Carbon Filtration
Next, our granulated activated carbon sweeps away volatile chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, benzene, and trihalomethanes that can spoil taste and wellness. It banishes odors and discoloration too, leaving water so crisp and inviting, every sip feels like a breath of fresh air.
Water Softener
Hard minerals can weigh water down. In this process we remove the bulk of heavy metals and hard minerals, softening the water so it flows smoothly into the next steps—protecting your hydration from anything that could clog or compromise its goodness.
Reverse Osmosis
Water passes through microscopic pores allowing only pure water to glide through. This is our finest step. It blocks inorganic chemicals, metals and other unwanted particles - such as fluoride, lead, arsenic and nitrates - leaving only the clean water. Pure water glides through, while contaminants stay behind, heading to a storage tank for the final touches.
316 Stainless Steel Storage Tank
A 316 Stainless Steel Storage Tank is used after the reverse osmosis process. The purified water is stored in a high-quality stainless-steel tank because it’s durable, sustainable, and won’t leach microplastics or unwanted odors into your drinking water. This ensures your water stays as pure and fresh as possible.
Water Structuring
We revive water’s natural flow with an internal double helix spiral, simulating a river’s dynamic movement. This creates structured water with memory of a fresh stream, lowering surface tension for maximum absorption—hydrating your cells faster and more efficiently, boosting energy and wellness with every sip.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
On this final stage of the journey, your water is disinfected for ultimate safety and purity as it enters your bottle.
If you’d like to go a step further you can remineralize your water.
Remineralization
For those craving quality mineral water, we offer this optional delight. Using natural coral, we infuse over 70 balanced trace minerals back into the water, restoring its oceanic vitality. Rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, and iodine, it enhances taste and nourishment— Unlike flat water, this richer, smoother sip feels alive, transforming hydration into a joyful health ritual that energizes your body and spirit.
