ANSA North America provides pure water alternatives to bottled water that provide economical on-site water purification and desalination to supplement bottled water distribution and reduce water bottle pollution.
THE NEED FOR PURE WATER ALTERNATIVES TO BOTTLED WATER
The number of plastic bottles of water produced each year is absolutely, positively, staggeringly huge. Different sources report different quantities, but 500 Billion seems a good estimate. That is 500,000,000,000…a 5 and 11 zeros!
And on top of that, the number is growing at 6% to 8% each year.
Perhaps a better grasp on the magnitude is to think that 500 Billion equates to about 1 Million plastic water bottles being sold each and every minute of every day.
Indeed, we are a thirsty planet! But, this method of quenching thirst comes at a very heavy price.
1. The Sky-High Costs of Bottled Water
– Bottled water costs hundreds, even thousands, of times more than potable tap water…and some bottled water is tap water.
– The manufacturing cost of a bottle of water is estimated to be about 90% packaging and 10% the water that fills it.
– It takes about 3 bottles-worth of water to produce 1 bottle of water…2 to make the bottle and 1 to fill the water content.
– From the water source to you, a bottle of water undergoes a complex, costly journey, usually entailing: Manufacturing, Filtering, Bottling, Packaging, Palletizing, Warehousing, Shipping, Transporting (Very Expensive), Receiving, Stocking, Distributing (Re-transporting, Delivery, Restocking, Selling), etc. No wonder it is so expensive!
2. Ahhh…The Thirst Quencher and Life Supporter
Water is absolutely required by human beings…we can die in about three days if we have insufficient quantities of it. We need to make sure the water we are drinking is clean, safe, pure drinking water.
– Most bottled water is reportedly safe, clean potable water.
– Reports vary on how safe the plastic water bottle itself is.
– But be careful. There have been observations of things like low-income country citizens “filtering” river water through T-shirts, into discarded water bottles, shrink-sealing the bottle to look like new, and selling the bottled water on the streets and in stores.
3. Producing the Never- Ending “Stream of Waste”
Once the bottled water is consumed, the stream of waste is likely to begin.
– Only an estimated 25% to 30% of all plastic water bottles are recycled and the
percentage is estimated to be much lower in many developing countries
– With about 250,000 to 300,000 water bottles being recycled each minute, that leaves the other 700,000 to 750,000 empty plastic water bottles entering our environment every minute.
Many water bottles start their decomposition in about 250 years and may take another 200 years to more fully degrade.
Huge areas of our world’s oceans have become “Garbage Patches”. These areas of high concentrations of marine debris, mostly plastic, form within large rotating ocean currents called gyers. When they form, they concentrate tons of debris from the ocean surface to the ocean floor. This affects millions of sea dwellers and impacts all the way up the food chain.
These garbage patches cover thousands of square miles in each of five oceans.
– Great Pacific Garbage Patch: East, between Hawaii and California, and West, between Hawaii and Japan
– South Pacific Garbage Patch: Between New Zealand and South America
– North Atlantic Garbage Patch: Between North America and Europe
– South Atlantic Garbage Patch: Between South America and Africa
– Indian Ocean Garbage Patch: South of India
OUR PURE ALTERNATIVES TO BOTTLED WATER
We make safe, clean, pure drinking water from nearly any source water, at the point-of use, avoiding the huge costs, wastes and hassles of bottled water.
Instead of transporting 20 tons of costly, cumbersome bottled water every day, our solution is to simply make up to 99.99% pure drinking water on-site where the users or victims are.
Our most popular solution, the SQN, can make up to 20 tons of drinking water from fresh water, on-site, every day for a tiny fraction of the cost of bottled water. We take any available source water and turn it into safe, clean water instantly. Our equipment can input flood waters, swamp waters, bad well water, bad tap water or virtually any other contaminated water and immediately convert it into drinking water. Or, we can even convert sea water to about 10 tons of fresh, drinking water each day.
We have much better solutions than shipping tons of expensive bottled water all around the world. We can make tons of water each day right where it is needed.
Here is a direct comparison of using our disaster-site instant water production versus having pallets of bottled water imported from somewhere else in the world.

And, all this is for only one day operations at rated capacity. Think of the project lifetime. Incredible savings. Incredible waste.
CONCLUSION: Invest in the EVERYWHERE WATER™ HydroVolt SQN™. At these numbers, it can pay for itself in about 1 WEEK!
With one SQN, at full rated capacity, we could do this every day from contaminated fresh water sources.
Not only is our solution a huge cost saver, it also eliminates all the problems of having to deal with 39,504 empty bottles!
– No 39,504 empty plastic bottles and caps floating down waterways into oceans and onto beaches
– No 39,504 empty plastic bottles and caps further clogging our landfills and dumps
– No 39,504 empty plastic bottles and caps to wreck the aesthetics and utility of our landscapes
Annually, this could amount to over 14 Million plastic bottles and caps eliminated from the environment. All because of one machine in one location!
ANSA NA systems can save the world millions of dollars per year and can save the environment from billions of empty plastic bottles and plastic bottle caps each year.
