What is Desalination?

Desalination is the process of removing salt from seawater. The process of removing salt from seawater is not a new concept. Thousands of years ago, Greek sailors used to boil seawater to remove water and gather salt for daily use. Nowadays, it is called distillation, and this ancient method is one way humans still obtain fresh water from the sea. The Romans created a new process and used clay pots as a filter, trapping the salt and leaving freshwater for drinking. A rudimentary process now known as Reverse Osmosis, SEA-WTR uses high pressure to force seawater and semi-permeable membranes to trap salt on one side, allowing for pure freshwater to be captured and used for bottling and drinking water. 
​
Once desalinated, our water is remineralized with a blend of necessary minerals to ensure that our water rehydrates and is tasty for the consumer. Our blend reintroduces calcium, used to build and maintain bones; magnesium, used to regulate blood pressure; potassium, used to regulate heart and muscle contractions; and a minute amount of sodium, used to maintain body fluids and smooth muscle operations. 
​
After remineralization, our product water goes through several last treatments, including UV and Ozone treatment. These methods ensure our water is as safe as possible before entering our aluminum bottles. To ensure that we help fight against plastic pollution, we use aluminum screw-top bottles created in the US. As 70% of aluminum ever made is still in use, our bottle is guaranteed to be recycled and reused in many ways, whether recycled for automotive parts or remade into a brand new bottle for another product.
