Dasani Water 11/20/13

Dasani water has not revealed the location to their source where they get their water from. Being that Coca Cola, one of the most unhealthiest soda brands, are the master minds behind the production of Dasani water, how clean do you expect the water to be? Because of the hidden source, we do not know if this water is groundwater, river, spring, etc, however we do know that Dasani received a D on the water transparency test! Dasani performs many different tests of pH level, temperature, nitrates, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, phosphorous, fecal coliform, and more before releasing their product to the public. Their water goes through a purification process called reverse osmosis. The result of this is that the solute is confined on the pressurized side of a semipermeable membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass through the other side. As a method of "selection" the membrane should not allow large molecules to pass through the pores, but should grant access to smaller elements, such as the solvent, to pass freely. With that being said, you would think that their water is nothing clean and pure, right? Wrong. The fact that Dasani nearly failed the transparency test tells people that you may think you know what you're drinking, but in fact you really have not one single idea.
