Purified bottled water and tap water are different in significant ways:

Distribution system
Tap water is distributed along thousands of miles of tubing which have been in use for many years, while Glacial purified bottled water comes in sterile bottles, sealed in a completely hygienic environment.

Chlorine
A big difference between Glacial purified water and tap water is the fact that Glacial does not use chlorine. Chlorine gives water an unpleasant taste. Glacial uses ozone, a product of oxygen, to eliminate bacteria at bottling. Ozone leaves no unpleasant taste in water.

Regulations
Being a consumer product, bottled water is extensively regulated and needs to meet stringent quality and safety standards. Tap water is considered a public utility service.

After reviewing hundreds of suggestions, we chose the name "Glacial" considering the following three factors

1. We needed a name that made reference both to water and to ice.
2. We were looking for an original name, a word that had never been used in the bottled water industry. Something, for example, that contained the word "aqua".
3. The word "Glacial" evokes purity, cleanliness, freshness and cold.

Glacial bottled water and ice need to pass five purification processes which ensure the cleanest and purest water in the market. Other bottled water and ice companies use no more than one to three purification processes.

Industria Innovadora S.A., on the other hand, uses modern, automated, state-of-the-art cutting-edge systems to wash, bottle and pack both water and purified ice. Contamination and manipulation are completely avoided.

Our modern, refrigerated distribution fleet ensure water and ice quality and safe transportation to the final destination.
