Why Aucklanders Are Switching to AWA
Not all alkaline water is made the same way. AWA's comes from the source.
From a Volcanic Aquifer
AWA is drawn from 300 metres beneath Riverhead, Auckland, a sealed aquifer inside volcanic rock that has been filtering water for thousands of years.
Genuinely pH 9.4. Naturally.
No ionisation machines. No added chemicals. AWA reaches pH 9.4 because it passes through layers of natural mineral-rich volcanic rock. Real alkalinity, not manufactured.
Feels Different. Because It Is.
Naturally soft and smooth, with 188 mg/L of natural alkalinity and 22 mg/L of silica from volcanic rock. Most people notice the clean taste from the first glass.

SWAP A BOTTLE
Buy Once. Refill Forever.
Every AWA bottle is built to be swapped, refilled and used again, 150 to 300 times. Here's how it works.
1. Order
Choose your size. A small refundable deposit secures your bottles, nothing added, nothing lost.
2. Drink
Pure pH 9.4 alkaline water on tap at home. No trips to the supermarket, no single-use plastic.
3. Swap
Leave empties out on your next delivery run. Your deposit carries over automatically to the next fill.

1.5M+
single-use 1.5L bottles' worth of water, without the plastic
AWA drinkers don't buy water. They swap it.
Return your Swap-A-Bottle dry and clean. That's the whole ritual.
Order Your AWA
Choose your size, add your swaps, and check delivery at the end.
Why a minimum of 5?
AWA delivers across Auckland on regular runs, and to the wider region once a month. Ordering a minimum of 5 keeps your per-unit cost as low as possible and makes each delivery run viable. It's the same reason the swap system saves you so much: we pass the efficiency straight back to you.
Step 1: Choose your size
Step 2: Quantity (min 5)
Thirsty household? Add a 6th so you don't run out before your next delivery.
Step 3: How many empties are you leaving out?
First order? Leave this at 0. Ordered before? Enter the empties you'll leave out and your deposit drops off.

THE SOURCE
Born Underground.
Bottled Pure.
300 metres beneath Riverhead, Auckland, lies a sealed volcanic aquifer, an ancient reserve of water locked away from the surface. For thousands of years, rainfall has been slowly filtering through layers of mineral-rich volcanic rock, gathering natural silica and trace minerals along the way.
Not in a factory. Not through a machine. Just water rising from the dark, exactly as the volcano made it.
When it reaches you, it is untouched, unprocessed, and unapologetically pure.
AWA is the Māori word for river. The red in our logo is the volcano that made the water.
Since 2018 we've refilled more than 100,000 bottles and cubes.

OFFICE WATER COOLER DELIVERY
Replace the cooler. Keep the ritual.
AWA's 17.5L and 21.5L bottles slot straight onto standard office dispensers, delivered on the same runs that supply our home customers: usually within 72 hours across Auckland, monthly further afield. Bottle deposits are fully refundable: return the empties on the next drop and only the water is charged for.
Share AWA. Both Save $10.
Every paying customer gets their own referral code. When a friend uses it on their first order, they get $10 off the water and you get a $10 credit for your next order once theirs is paid. Codes stay valid for 6 months.
Small print: $10 off the water only, not deposits or delivery. First orders only, minimum 5 bottles. Your friend can't share your email, phone or delivery address. One code per order, no other discounts. Credits are issued once your friend's order is paid, are valid for 6 months, can be used once by you, and are capped at 10 a year.
