Water quality is the very foundation of a successful mineral water plant, and Coimbatore has an undeniable advantage in this regard as well. This is what makes the region so conducive an environment for mineral water production:
1. Naturally groundwater rich in minerals
Ground water in almost the whole district of Coimbatore is nature-blessed with significant minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium — safe but healthy too. This makes the base water suitable for purification to mineral water with minimal artificial enhancement.
2. Minimal Industrial Pollutants
Unlike highly industrialized cities, Coimbatore has been successful in maintaining relatively low water pollution levels. The majority of the groundwater sources are outside the industrial zones, reducing the possibilities of chemical or heavy metal pollution.
3. Favorable TDS Levels
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of groundwater in Coimbatore will usually be in the ideal range for mineral water treatment (usually between 150–500 ppm). This is beneficial as it is easier to treat the water without over-treatment, which prevents losing natural minerals.
4. Minimum Microbial Contamination
Because it is semi-arid in nature and has properly regulated water systems within the urban and semi-urban regions, microbial source contamination of water is very low. This has the tendency to reduce the need for harsh disinfection methods and to make more stable and sustainable production.
5. Western Ghats Influence
That the city is situated near the Western Ghats leads to rain-fed aquifers and rivers having a continuous flow of fresh water originating from natural sources. This also means overall good quality of surface water and ground water available.
