table water

An artificial water table broth!

Table water is not like mineral water directly obtained from a source of natural product.
But it is a man-made mixture of different water types.
There is no statutory regulation for the mix ratio.
It is the responsibility incumbent Although the German regulation for drinking water,

But it has no official approval as mineral water!

From what is bottled water?

There is really only tap water. The water that you have from your tap.
Most are still mineral salts added. Nor can it anywhere produced and bottled.


That table water you drink may also come from Poland, as it tries to World Cup 2006 in the framework of the "State cooperation" happened.

If the water is there just as filtered as in Germany?
Or more importantly, the filling also controlled?

But so far we have not look!

Thinking time:

Would you stay with your neighbor buy tap water, althoughfrom your tap exactly the same water?



Globalised water table

Now we look to India.
There tap one of the world's largest beverage producers throughout India empty.
Why? In India, water virtually free by law!
Some regions in India have huge problems with the groundwater ranzukommen. But it can be like in the shop for money "back" buy.

Why do you bother so tap water in bottles abzufüllen and as a table to sell water?
Maybe you can already think:

There are gigantic profit margins.

A manufacturer of bottled water is tap water supplies as all otherhouseholds in the region and also ALSO paid the same price (average in Germany) 1.73 € / m per cubic meter.

A cubic meter is 1000 litres. Does 1.73 € / 1000 = 0.00173 litres €

A box table water (twelve bottles a litre) from the beverage market costs about 4 €.

4 €/ 12 bottles =0.3333333 € - 0.00173€ = 0.3316033 € per liter.

That is, if you buy bottled water offer € 0.33 per litre orper box would be 12 x 0.3316033 = 3.9792399 € or at 2 liters a day x 30 days x 12 months (annual consumption) = 238.75 €

This amount away each year if you buy bottled water instead of just your own tap water to use.

This represents a rise factor of 192 per liter


Table water on the menu

Now you know why water table in a restaurant.
How? The menu is but mineral water?!

It is easy for mineral water is a generic term for all water views, and thus the problem is done.
Ask your next restaurant visit "natural mineral water" and look intothe face of disconcerted control. Probably you will still only Tafelwaser with ice cubes and lemon.

But not only restaurants benefit from the prices but also thecafeterias, canteens and similar. One reason from the standpoint of growers offer only bottled water is that it is shipped in containers.

All other water in the container may not be delivered!



Soda water = table water

If bottled water at least 570 mg per litre of sodium hydrogencarbonate and carbon dioxide, called it soda water.

And this will continue to remain so
This large margin between production costs and selling price ispossible because many consumers still table water for something special and are ready to hold these high price to pay.

Except you share your new knowledge with friends andacquaintances.
