This is awa
Almost 200 years ago sailors discovered the qualities of the water under Riverhead. They sailed to the end of the Waitemata Harbour to fill their ships with the very best drinking water. Now you too, can enjoy the high pH alkaline water aotearoa.
Living Water
Even with our amazing purification process it is still important to keep AWA out of direct sunlight to remove any chance of sun damage.
Why Red?
The red in the AWA label is inspired by the red hot magma which erupted thousands of years ago. It is thanks to this volcanic activity that our artesian water contains the minerals that make it so unique.

This is WATER
Purification
After 12 months of trials with both UV and Ozone we found our special, ancient, AWA is most suited to purification by ozone. In addition to this, every cube is steam cleaned at 80-100.C.
BPA free
Our 20 litre cubes are made locally and are proudly BPA free. This means they won't contain the harmful chemicals found in other plastics.
Isolation
AWA is bottled at source from an isolated Riverhead property with the bore depth of 190 metres, established since 1987.
The Circular Economy
Waste seems to be commonly accepted in todays world. But it doesn’t need to be. Reduce waste by returning and refilling with AWA.
Stockist
Given AWA is produced locally, we have one of the smallest carbon footprints. It is only available from a select number of stores using the sustainable Swap-A-Bottle model.
This is water. This is AWA.
