WHERE DOES WAIAKEA COME FROM?

2,400 miles from the nearest industrial landmass and surrounded by 10 million square miles of ocean, Waiākea volcanic water originates in Hawaii through both snowmelt and rain on the pristine snowcapped peak of the active Mauna Loa volcano- one of the purest environments on Earth. Waiākea is then filtered through 14,000 feet of porous lava rock before re-emerging at its source, the Kea’au aquifer, located at the eastern base of the Mauna Loa volcano and just southwest of the quiet town of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii.

WHAT MAKES WAIAKEA WATER VOLCANIC?

Hawaiian Volcanic Water is used as a descriptive term due to Waiakea’s unique volcanic filtration process through thousands of feet of the Mauna Loa volcano’s porous volcanic rock. This process naturally enriches the water with minerals and electrolytes, while also making it one of the most naturally alkaline waters in the world!

IS WAIAKEA TAP WATER?

No, Waiakea water is not tap or municipal water. Waiakea is fortunate enough to source its naturally alkaline water from a privately owned well in an area surrounded by the rich and biodiverse Waiakea Forest Preserve, located just southwest of the quiet town of Hilo. This secluded well taps into the abundant and pristine Kea’au aquifer, which is fed by snowmelt and rain on the snowcapped peak of the active Mauna Loa volcano- one of the purest environments on Earth.

Waiakea’s pH ranges between 7.6 and 8.2, still making it one of the most naturally alkaline water brands in the world. Pure or purified water has a pH of 7. Waters can range in pH due to a variance in dissolved alkaline minerals, especially in places with high rain fall. Solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be “acidic” and those higher than 7, “alkaline”.
