FIJI Water
Fiji water: the #1 premium water
Fiji water is sourced from a single source in the
fiji islands, nestled in the remote south pacific.
1,300 Miles from the nearest industrialized country, fiji water begins as pure rainfall in a pristine
setting that transforms into one-of-a-kind artesian
water. Unique mineral profile, featuring natural
electrolytes Gradual filtration process through layers of volcanic rock imparts minerals that contribute to fiji’s distinctly soft, smooth taste and infuses
natural electrolytes. The water comes to rest in
a natural artesian aquifer, a vast underground
chamber, which protects the water from external
contaminants and impurities. Our sealed delivery
system ensures the water is not exposed to external elements until you remove the cap, delivering
earth’s finest water.
