jmccarty Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Anyone know of a supplier of evian or perrier in big bottle dispenser style bottles or any other good quality mineral water? I see some have asked many times about water in general, I would be willing to pay extra for really good quality water for my dispenser at home and office. I think we have at least 7 dispensers in the office, go though a lot of water and using RO water now, deemed a health hazard if its your main source of daily water due to lack of mineral content.

KittenKong Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 " ..... go though a lot of water and using RO water now, deemed a health hazard if its your main source of daily water due to lack of mineral content."Somehow I doubt that lack of minerals in water is unhealthy. On the contrary the general medical advice in Europe seems to be to drink lots of water with less minerals, at least it is if you dont want to start a collection of kidney stones.

Somehow I doubt that lack of minerals in water is unhealthy. On the contrary the general medical advice in Europe seems to be to drink lots of water with less minerals, at least it is if you dont want to start a collection of kidney stones. Au contraire, the body has to maintain a certain balance of essential minerals in the body. If it does not receive enough of them from the diet (including fluid intake) it will start to leach them out of the body's bones. This causes the bones to become brittle and break easily. One of the best ways to prevent this is to drink mineral/spring water. In addition, it is the minerals in water that give it its taste. Pure demineralized water tastes awful and anything made with it, from coffee to soup, will also have little flavor. There are several brands of Thai mineral water that are very good tasting, including Aura and Mont Fleur, which I believe are both natural spring waters, and Minere, which is filtered and treated municipal water with the minerals added back in. I have seen Aura trucks around town with pictures with those 5 litre or so office type bottles pictured on them so they must supply them. Maybe buy a small bottle or google them for their local distributor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure, filtered, zero minerals water is far from healthy. Look at the kids drinking water in non-fluoridated areas, and see their blackened teeth. I would think the large bottles for office water dispensers would be the standard 19 litres, equal to ye olde US 5 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pralaad Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Evian is imported and is 30 baht for a small bottle . I doubt anyone would import the 10 -20 liter bottles as the selling price would be close to 1000baht and I doubt there would be too many buyers Edited May 25, 2014 by Pralaad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It’s so wonderful to get some positive news from Thailand at long last, a good reason for the tourists to flock back now that we can buy bottles of mineral water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AloisAmrein Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Why don't you live in a country where you can drink tap water? The mineral content of our tap water is higher then that of Perrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiberius Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The mineral content of any bottled water is negligible. A balanced diet will give you all the minerals you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The mineral content of any bottled water is negligible. A balanced diet will give you all the minerals you need. Again not true. There are specific warnings given for those who install reverse osmosis water filters on their home taps, which demineralize the water, not to use the water as sole source of drinking water.

Water with high mineral content is not considered to be very healthy and can cause kidney stones. Depending on the brand and source it can also be responsible for an excessive sodium intake, which is probably already high if you eat a lot of Thai food. Also if you have a normal balanced diet there should be plenty of minerals in your food anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccarty Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Many of them have a balance that is the selling point and you get a known amount per litre. I sweat a lot because I use a cross trainer up to 80 mins a day and have a routine for recovering from an injury that also makes me sweat a lot. I buy small bottles of various brands and have my preferences. Started the thread to see what is out there in bulk form. You don't have to follow anyones advice on this thread for or against, just asking for information if it is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
