DESIGNER WATER / BRAND / INFORMATION
The Designer Water FAQ: honest, evidence-based answers on pH10 alkaline water, PureSafe purified water, our quality certifications and accreditations and the Waterpreneur business. Cases from R211.
Explore the waterFive topics, 34 questions. Tap the one you came for.
What pH10 is, how it is made, how to drink it and where to get it.
Designer Water pH10® is a premium alkaline water produced through a 14-stage advanced filtration process. The result is exceptionally pure water at pH 10 with a smoother taste and an enhanced mineral profile that includes calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Three things set us apart:
We offer a full range for every need:

You can buy through:
Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, drink it within 7 days for the best taste. Sealed and stored correctly, Designer Water has been independently verified to keep its quality for up to 3 years.
This is completely normal and safe. The white particles are naturally occurring minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium, that can become visible with temperature changes. It is a sign of the water's mineral-rich composition. Shake gently if you prefer.
pH strips are designed for liquids with a higher level of dissolved solids (TDS), typically above 150 ppm. Designer Water is exceptionally pure, with TDS below 50 ppm, so standard pH strips cannot give an accurate reading.
To test our pH, use a calibrated pH meter. That is the same standard our quality lab uses.
Yes. Designer Water is safe to drink daily. If you are new to high-pH water, start with a glass or two a day and increase as you feel comfortable. As with all water, the key benefit comes from consistent, adequate hydration through the day.
For pregnancy or breastfeeding, discuss the bottle’s mineral information with your healthcare provider if you need individual guidance. Our quality credentials describe bottled-water and food safety standards, not a pregnancy-specific assessment.
Yes. Many of our customers use Designer Water for cooking and hot drinks. The smoother taste profile and low TDS can improve the flavour of coffee and tea by reducing bitterness.
Yes. The purity of our 14-stage filtration process makes Designer Water safe for the whole family, including children and pets.

Shop pH10Our quality credentials, 14 stages of purification and mineralisation, and the findings and limits of published research.
We hold quality certifications and accreditations:
Our 14-stage filtration process includes multi-media pre-filtration, activated carbon filtration, high-pressure reverse osmosis, polishing filters, UV sterilisation, ozonation and mineral enrichment, among other steps.
The result is water stripped of contaminants, then re-mineralised with calcium, magnesium and potassium for taste and pH stability.
A growing body of peer-reviewed research has looked at alkaline mineral water. Here is what the published science supports:
Acid reflux: laboratory research by Koufman & Johnston (2012) found that water at pH 8.8 denatured human pepsin in vitro. That was a laboratory study, not a clinical trial, and we describe it as research rather than as a benefit.
Hydration: a 2016 trial studied electrolysed high-pH water after exercise-induced dehydration. It did not test Designer Water. Read the study findings and limitations before applying them to a different product.
Minerals: the WHO has noted that drinking water can be a meaningful source of calcium and magnesium intake.
Transparency is core to how we operate. We make no medical claims. We do not claim that alkaline water:
We reference specific peer-reviewed research where it exists. Beyond that, we let the product speak for itself.
Yes. Our water is rigorously tested under SANBWA and ISO 22000 protocols. This includes regular pH testing, mineral content verification, microbiological screening and consistent quality monitoring. Our facility has ISO 22000:2018 food safety management certification. The separate DQS conformity review is explained in our certificate register.
Designer Water has been independently verified to retain its pH and freshness for up to 3 years when sealed and stored correctly.
