I’m participating in an event, can Nestlé® Pure Life® help?
We receive a huge number of requests for support each year and would love to help every worthy cause, but it is just not possible. We consider all of them carefully, but unfortunately can only proceed with a limited number. Our efforts are focussed where we can best bring a real and tangible benefit to the communities in which we operate. Our support is concentrated around helping local groups to develop a sound understanding of good health and wellbeing, and to local projects that share our commitment to the environment and sustainability. If you think that is you then please contact us at: enquiries@waters.nestle.com
Is Nestlé® Pure Life® different to tap water?
Water is one of the healthiest ways to keep you hydrated, whether bottled or tap water. It contains no sugar or calories. However there are clear differences between spring and tap water: Spring water originates from a natural, protected underground source and is safe to drink without any chemical treatment. Many people prefer the water they drink to be untreated, others simply like the taste. Tap water can come from a variety of sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs and undergo chemical treatment to make it safe to drink.
What should I do if I’m disappointed in my water?

Are you draining water from developing countries?
As a producer of natural source, spring water, we are custodians of the land and protect our water sources from pollution and encourage biodiversity. We recognise the responsibility we have to operate sustainably to safeguard water resources for future generations. You can read more about our purpose and values here.
Are you protecting the water sources at Lightwood?
Nestlé Waters has a long history of environmental stewardship. We work hard to protect the spring water sources and surrounding land that supplies our UK spring water. Our in-house water expertise includes Natural Resource Managers and Hydrogeologists who closely monitor the amount of water being extracted and its quality. We also collaborate with a number of external experts to safeguard these shared resources. As part of our our longstanding commitment to sustainable water management and creating shared value in our communities, we are working towards the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) accrediatation. This accreditiation asks for the best practices in sustainable water balance, good water quality, and good water governance to ensure the long term sustainability of water resources. We will be working towards this accreditation for our Buxton factory by 2020.
Why does Nestlé® Pure Life® have such a high level of sodium?
Sodium is naturally occurring in the water and is determined by layers of rock the water flows naturally through underground. The UK/EU set a maximum limit for water which 200mg/l. Nestlé Pure life’s sodium levels are well below this limit. The limit is set for taste reasons and not for health concerns [1].

Is Nestlé® Pure Life® filtered or treated? Why and how?
Nestlé® Pure Life® passes through a sand bed filter to remove any sediment particles from the water before it is bottled. No treatment or chemicals are used in the bottling of our spring water.
