-
Source & Pre-Treatment: Raw water testing → sand filtration, carbon filtration, softening, and multimedia filtration.
-
Primary Purification: Reverse osmosis (RO) removes salts and dissolved impurities.
-
Disinfection: UV and ozone treatment eliminate microbiological contaminants.
-
Mineral Rebalancing & pH Correction: Reintroduction of essential minerals for taste and compliance.
-
Storage & Bottling: Hygienic SS 304/316 tanks feed fully automatic filling, capping, labeling, and packaging systems.
-
Quality Testing & Release: BIS and FSSAI-standard checks for TDS, microbial content, pH, and mineral profile before dispatch.
