In a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, packaged water is what consumers associate with a healthy lifestyle.

The StandUp water pouch assures consumers of the constant safety of the product, good quality taste and convenience make the StandUp water pouch a natural choice towards a healthy lifestyle.

Some exciting figures from Beverage Marketing Corporation in 2007, US bottle water sales exceed 8.25 billion gallons and per capita consumption level is 27.6 gallons with a market value of $10.8 billion.

To help individuals meet their personal hydration goals, the IBWA has a hydration calculator available at its web site at www.bottledwater.org. This hydration resource is an interactive tool based on expert resources and the most current findings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Remember, your body and brain is more than 70% water. Keep them saturated.

BevPaQ® offers one of the fast growth premium natural water products in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Sold under the Chilling Rocks™ brand name it is available at “C” store and golf course locations.

It comes in an environmentally friendly StandUp pouch with an Envosmart™ TE spout fitment that consumes 95% less waste and prevents chemical leaching of water in a landfill. However, with today’s energy crisis, the pouch is best incinerated after use and produces vital energy and lessens the dependence on oil.

The water is vapor distilled and purity is assured in the H.A.A.C.P. plant. These rigid standards ensure that the water has a natural flavor at all times.

Chilling Rocks™ is available in 250 ml x 8 pouch multipacks and 3 x 8 in a 24 case.

Chilling Rocks™ natural water is filled in one of the cleanest manufacturing operations around. Drinking water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.

More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safe Drinking Water hotline at 800.426.4791.

The Food and Drug Administration FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in packaged bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. See table below.

Table Key and Definitions:
NR: not regulated
N/A: not applicable
ND: not detected
NTU: nephelometric turbidity units
TT: Treatment Technique
MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level
AL: Action Level
MCLG: Maximum contaminant level goal
ug/l: micrograms per liter or parts per billion
mg/l: milligram per liter or parts per million

MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

TT: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

AL: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

NTU: Filter turbidity or water clarity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for bacterial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches.

Total trihalomethanes: Disinfection by-products expressed as the sum of chloroform, dibromochloromethane, bromodichloromethane and tribromomethane.

Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected health risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to contain microbial contaminants.

Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that the addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

ND: Means not detected and indicates the substance was not found by laboratory analysis.
