  • Why we love our water?
    We bring water back to what nature intended! Chemical Free! NO herbicides, pesticides, prescription drugs. There are over 7500 chemicals in Medicine Hat tap water. All the makeup, paint from paint brushes, shampoo's & conditioners are removed from the water! Maybe some of you are thinking that it would be fun to drink all of that, and that is completely your choice if you wish to! We just really don't want to, so that is why we go above and beyond industry standards! Industry standards are one wash, one sanitize and one rinse. With our state of the art bottle washer, we meet industry standards, and then exceed them. we have an 8 different rinse and wash system that is completely automated. Our fully automated system has: 8 different high-powered rinse and wash cycles cleans, fills and caps 3 Gallon & 5 Gallon bottles without the need for any hand-sorting or equipment adjustments It even filters the air and sanitizes the caps It will make 450 bottles an hour, which is one bottle every 8 seconds! Because of our process, we are even able to operate during a boil water alert! Here at Icy Mountain Water our mission is to meet our high level of expectations every day. Taste water for the first time, the way water was meant to be!
  • What is reverse osmoisis?
    Using current technology and modern innovation, we reverse the process of water falling down a mountain and bring water back to it's original state! I'm sure you have heard about RO or Reverse Osmosis. But what is it exactly? This is the process we use to remove all the impurities from the water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a partially permeable membrane to remove ions, unwanted molecules and larger particles from drinking water. Reverse osmosis can remove many types of dissolved and suspended chemical species as well as biological ones (principally bacteria) from water, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water. Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and other effluent materials from the water molecules. We reverse the process of water falling down a mountain and bring water back to it's original state!
  • Why choose RO water?
    Drinking more water is a smart and healthy decision as 60% of our bodies are made up of water! But, you still have a lot of choices when it comes to what kind of water you drink. Bottled? Distilled? Natural spring water? Tap water? Reverse Osmosis drinking water provides you with clean, refreshing water... and you can even have one installed right in your home. Reverse Osmosis Systems Remove Contaminants Contaminated water and its negative effects on health are becoming quite well known. No matter where you live, there’s a lot more than just H2O in your home’s water. In Medicine Hat we have over 7500 chemicals in our tap water. However, with Icy Mountain Water or an Icy Mountain Water reverse osmosis system, you can remove those unwanted contaminants, and not welcome them into your body. Systems are tested and certified for the reduction of the following contaminants: lead arsenic copper nitrates and nitrites (hexavalent & trivalent) chromium selenium fluoride radium barium cyst (cryptosporidium) total dissolved solids (TDS) If pure water is what you want, reverse osmosis water or a reverse osmosis drinking system is what you need!
  • Are There Any Disadvantages to Reverse Osmosis Water?
    The things skeptics of reverse osmosis can point to as a disadvantage is that reverse osmosis systems filter out minerals, which they assume are valuable to their health. They also have mentioned that they believe pure water is so pure that it will pull nutrition out of your body. In reality, you should be getting most of the minerals your body needs from the food you eat. the dissolved minerals found in drinking water are organic, which means your body has a difficult time absorbing them. This negates any potential health benefits. For those who are concerned about losing out on mineral intake, you can always look for mineral supplements. We recommend trying the Fulvic and Humic in your water as a source of minerals your body can absorb. Furthermore, Drinking Reverse Osmosis Water will have absolutely no different effect on your cells than will drinking any other potable water. Whether you drink tap water, distilled water, deionized water, RO water, or any bottle water, your body won’t notice any difference. to think otherwise is purely nonsensical. Why? Because no matter what potable water you drink, it can’t get to your cells until it first goes into your stomach. Your stomach has a pH somewhere in the 1.5 to 3 range. It’s capacity is about a Liter, and the contents of what you have eaten, combined with the acid make the electrolyte level (TDS) in your stomach much higher than the TDS in any water. If you drink a full quart of water you would only knock the TDS in your stomach down 50%, and STILL... that water isn’t going anywhere until digestion occurs. What does not get absorbed is simply going to dilute your urinary tract and you will pee water-white for a bit. That’s all that will happen. The bottom line is that the impressive benefits of reverse osmosis water far outweigh any minor objections.
  • Why distilled over reverse osmosis?
    Why distilled over reverse osmosis? Reverse Osmosis (RO) water can be used in place of distilled water. Many products that call for Distilled water need water that is complexly pure. This is because the contaminates in water will wreck the equipment/product in some way. How does a water distiller work? The water distiller boils the water, turning it into steam. The steam is then condensed and cooled, returning it back to a liquid state. Anything that cannot turn into steam, like minerals and microorganisms, is left behind. The problem with Commercial Distillers, is that they boil the water quickly at such high temperatures and because of this some of the impurities are passed along in the steam. This is why distilled water made in mass quantities is usually higher in TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) then our Reverse Osmosis water which is around 1ppm. It is too hard to actually test water that pure. Our water is pure enough for a car battery, humidifier, dental equipment, tattoo equipment, etc. Due to the extremely low Parts per million found in our RO water, you can use it in anything that calls for distilled water, or pure water.

Humidifiers & Diffusers do really well with RO water. No scum buildup and it will save the live of your machines.
  • How do you make your RO water?
    We start with municipal water, which is pressed through a large bed of charcoal, then through a water softener. Next, the water goes through a 5 micron filter, then gets forced through a porous membrane at 200 lbs square inch of pressure, and only the pure water flows through the membrane. The wastewater is flushed down the drain. The process brings the total dissolved solids level down to 1.5 – 2 parts per million. This water is equivalent to distilled and is so pure it can be used in a car battery, sterilization equipment, or boilers.
