Originally based upon the sale of products made
from Town water, The Classic Mineral Water Company wanted to offer you our
customers a more pure natural product. In 1980 the company carried out extensive
geological research in the local area, this research led the company to bore
down over 150 meters to research a layer of Ulster White Limestone Chalk , which
runs between Lough Neagh and the Lagan Valley. The water which has been
collecting in this chalk aquifer proved to be extremely palatable and of high
beneficial mineral content.
Its composition and quality have remained
unchanged for centuries because of the geological structure of the surrounding
area. The unique location of Ireland in the western edge of Europe has resulted
in an environment that is unspoilt and high in natural resources, for more than
60 million years basalt lava overlaying chalk has been subject to weathering and
erosion which has resulted in the formation of a multi-layered mass of rock –
an excellent filter 150 meters deep which permits only slow percolation of
ground water. It is this long slow filtration that gives Classic Irish Water its
exceptional purity and unique mineral composition.
Mineral Water status is recognised as the
highest standard for bottled water and in order to maintain this very high
standard The Classic Mineral Water source is monitored on a daily basis by an
independent laboratory, who analysis our products allowing you the customer full
assurance of only the highest quality mineral water.
