A day in the life of Eden Water – Part 1: Water sources

Eden Springs take great pride in the quality of bottled water provided, be it for bottled water coolers or small 500ml bottles. Our dedication to providing great tasting, quality water has contributed to our popularity and our positions as the UK's leading water cooler supplier. But how exactly do Eden ensure that the water is clean, fresh and continually great tasting? We follow some Eden Water from source to office to show you how...

Bottled water sources: Only the best

Eden Springs bottled water starts its life in one of three fantastic natural water sources: aquifers in Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire; Eden Valley; and West Hyde, Hertfordshire. Although picturesque, the important thing is not that the scenery but the high quality of water that can be sourced and bottled. The Lochwinnoch site, for example, is highly regarded and trusted in the UK for its fine, soft water, and water from the Eden Valley site is also used by such high profile companies as Tesco and Asda. Once extracted, our drinking water continues its journey to be purified and bottled. At our Eden Valley site the bottling plant is directly on the water source so there's no journey involved, while the water from our other aquifers travels a short distance in tankers to be make its next step into bottled water. Our Scottish water is bottled and filtered for purity at our Blantyre headquarters near Glasgow. Remember that Eden are committed to reducing our environmental impact, so any travel is as short and energy efficient as possible, while to ensure cleanliness all transfer equipment and vehicles are regularly cleaned and sanitised.
