Water Facts
We hear a lot about what we should eat to stay healthy, but there's one thing we need even more than food each day - and that's WATER. It is important to drink enough water during the hot summer months, many people don't realise they need to drink plenty of water all year round. Every part of your body needs water to work properly.
It is important to balance the amount of water going in to the body with the amount of water being lost by the body. This is especially important for people who are: very young, elderly, ill with fever, vomiting or diarrhoea, taking medications that cause the body to lose water, hot weather, travelling.
Healthy children and adults who eat a balanced diet, drinking water with each meal and between meals will meet the body's need for water.
To help you drink more water. Have plenty of chilled water in the fridge or cooler etc. Try flavouring it with lemon, apple or even chopped mint.. etc if you get fed up drinking plain water. Ask for water in restaurants, take water with you at all times it may encourage you to drink more..
Do not wait until you're thirsty to drink water, by that time you will have probably lost two or more cups of your total body water composition.
What is the difference between spring and other types of water?
Spring water is extracted from an underground source and can have a variable mineral content. It has to meet the same hygiene standards as natural mineral water, and is subject to the same limits on pollution. Spring water produced in the United Kingdom can be treated so that it reaches these standards, and many companies do just that. Frog Spring Water however, like natural mineral water does not undergo any treatment processes other than filtration of dirt and grit. Natural mineral water must have a constant mineral content and be naturally free of dangerous bacteria and pollution. Regulations state that natural mineral water cannot be treated, except for filtering to remove grit. Other bottled water (e.g. purified/distilled) may merely be treated tap water, but it must meet the purity and hygiene standards set out in the bottled water regulations. To bring it up to theses standards, bottled water can undergo processing. Purified water lacks the minerals needed to blend with tea leaves to bring out the best flavour. Some tea drinkers prefer distilled water for its softness, but others believe it creates a boring lifeless taste.
Where does Frog Spring Water come from?
A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and is therefore where the water bearing permeable rock layer meets the ground surface. Depending on how constant the source of the water is springs can be ephemeral (intermittent), perennial (continuous) or artesian (naturally pressurised). When they leave the ground they may form pools or streams. Minerals become dissolved in the water as it moves through the underground rocks. The geology of the region gives the water its unique flavour. Our source of water at Chilburne Spring is the natural springs that surface directly under the White Horse of Kilburn, just up the hillside from the bottling plant. The springs themselves are fed from water collected under the North Yorkshire Moors.
What chemical processes are used on Frog Spring Water?
The water is so pure that no treatment processes are necessary for our spring water, other than filtration of silt and sand. This means the water is “live” – unlike tap water. The water is rigorously tested to ensure bacterial levels are within requirements for both spring and mineral water.
How fresh is the water?
Frog water services keep stocks for up to 7 days, our aim is to maintain exceptionally fresh water.
What is the shelf life of Frog Spring Water?
Whilst under correct storage conditions pure natural Frog Spring Water is best consumed within 6 months of bottling. The “best before” date can be found on the side of the cap on our bottles. Why do bottles go green? Green bottles/water is produced by single celled algae, which although in minute amounts when bottled and kept in the correct storage conditions, may reproduce if the bottles are not looked after properly. For example, Frog Water Services recommends spare water bottles should be stored in cool, dark conditions, such as a store cupboard. Water coolers should also be kept out of direct sunlight and away from other strong light sources e.g. strip/fluorescent lighting. If this is not possible, we strongly advise covering the bottle in some way (bottle covers are available).
Do you charge a deposit on your bottles?
Yes, bottle deposits are £4.26 ex vat per bottle. All of our bottles are reusable, and any bottles that are eventually damaged or become too old to be used are sent for recycling.
Do you collect and recycle the plastic cups?
Yes, just give the cups to the drivers when they next deliver your water and they will take them away to recycle them at no extra cost.
