There are around 40 plants for purification within the USA. Because of the reversed osmosis process, the water is on the acidic side, as the pH value is less than 7.00. Packed only in plastic PET and BPA-free bottles this company puts an effort for the environment and reduces the labels size to a half. However, there are lots of complaints regarding the plastic bottles and their quality when it comes to sturdiness, so they are claimed to be flimsy and easily smashed.

Product Purity
The process of purity for Aquafina undergoes 7 steps, and one must admit that’s a lot. The pH value is somewhere between 5.5 and 7 and as purified it satisfies all the standards and requirements set by authorized institutions.
