Why We Stopped Refilling Alkaline Water — And Why You’ll Thank Us For It

💎 The Real Story Behind Designer Water Alkaline Ionized Water pH10®️

At Designer Water, we believe purity isn’t optional. That’s why we made one of the hardest business decisions we’ve ever taken: we stopped refilling water.

You might wonder — why stop something so convenient and affordable? The answer is simple: your safety comes first.

Why we stopped refilling alkaline water

🚫 Why Refilling Sounds Good, But Isn’t Safe

Refilling bottles sounds eco-friendly and easy. But behind the scenes, there’s a problem most people never see:

  • Refill machines get dirty. Pipes and tanks can grow bacteria if not cleaned perfectly, every day.

  • Filters wear out. UV lights dim, ozone levels drop — and suddenly the water isn’t truly pure anymore.

  • No seals, no proof. Refilled bottles don’t have batch codes or tamper seals, so you never know if what you’re drinking is safe or fresh.

  • Fake “alkaline” claims. Many refill stations just add chemicals to raise the pH. It may test alkaline, but it isn’t true alkaline ionized water.

And when standards drop, certifications are lost — including SANBWA and ISO, which are South Africa’s highest safety and quality standards.

We refused to let that happen.
