Karpati pure water is produced by an exclusive, award winning 'pressure chilling', that extracts the purest water from Australian fruit. Every drop is filtered through fruit - making it the most naturally purified water on earth, using nature's living filters. This is a world-first!

Nature's secret to keep fruit fresh is the H2O18 water molecule - a natural water molecule stored in fresh juice.

Scientific research demonstrates that water in fruit will keep your body hydrated for longer than any other water! This is a unique feature of water from fruit.

Karpati pure water has no chemicals - no herbicides, pesticides or pollution - and is safe, clean and refreshing.

Karpati pure water is a renewable resource and does not deplete underground supplies.

Drinking this water will protect your essential body moisture, keep your skin fresh and minimise wrinkles in your skin.

It costs about the same as other waters - but brings benefits only water from fruit will provide.

Karpati pure water is a completely new concept. We've bottled the fresh, pure water from fruit for your enjoyment. It's unique.

Naturally occurring fresh water consists of a mixture of two types of water molecule; mostly oxygen-16 water molecules (more than 99%) and a small amount of oxygen-18 water molecules. Oxygen-18 water molecules and oxygen-16 molecules have slightly different properties due to differences in the structure of the atoms in the water molecules An example of these differences is that it requires more energy to evaporate oxygen-18 water molecules than oxygen-16 water molecules. These differences are not noticeable in fresh water because it has such a small amount of oxygen-18 water.

In trees, water is lost through evaporation from leaves. Oxygen-16 molecules tend to evaporate more quickly from the leaves because it requires less energy to evaporate Oxygen-16 molecules than oxygen-18 molecules. The net result is thai over time the water in the tree, and hence in the fruit, becomes enriched with oxygen-18 molecules. As a result of this process, water in fruit can have up to 50 times the amount of oxygen-18 molecules than natural freshwater.

Our product is produced from water in fruit and therefore is enriched with oxygen-18 molecules. Tests undertaken by the CSIRO have confirmed this.

Our assumption that Karpati water can keep the body hydrated for longer is based on the fact that it is enriched with oxygen-18 molecules which stay in the body longer, because these molecules require more energy to evaporate from the skin as sweat than oxygen-16 molecules.

Our claims about the superior hydration properties of Karpati water are based on research that was done on total energy expenditure in obese children using double labeled water analysis using the heavy water oxygen-18 isotope. This work showed the oxygen-18 water isotope and the more abundant ("standard") oxygen-16 water isotope was lost from the body at different rates.

The Pressure Chilling Process developed as a result of looking to improve the quality of fruit juice concentrate. Romans used to improve the quality of their wine by leaving it out overnight to freeze, then scraping the ice off. It was decided to try this idea with fruit juice which developed a unique pressure chilling process that produced both high quality fruit juice concentrate as well as pure water from fruit.

This process was awarded first prize in the Western Sydney Innovation Awards.

The Pressure Chilling Process

An outline of the process is shown below. The process consists of 4 stages:

1. Freezing

Fruit juice is pumped from a storage tank into a heat exchanger under pressure. In this stage the fruit juice is cooled to -15C and mixed. The water in the fruit juice starts to freeze and forms very small (microscopic) ice flakes.

2. Ice Crystal Growth

Following stage 1, the chilled mixture of juice and ice flakes is pumped into another tank where it is mixed slowly. This allows the microscopic ice flakes to combine and grow into larger crystals up to 3mm in diameter. In comparison with the microscopic ice flakes formed in stage 1, the larger ice crystals are smooth and round. This makes it easier to separate them in the next stage. The mixture of concentrated fruit juice and ice crystals looks like "frozen coke". The mixture is then pumped into a special tank where the ice crystals are separated from the concentrated fruit juice. 

3. Separation

In this stage the mixture of concentrated fruit juice and ice crystals is pumped into a special tank with a piston that squeezes the mixture through a mesh. The round ice crystals are retained on the mesh and the concentrated fruit juice passed through and is collected at the bottom of the vessel. When sufficient ice has built up on the mesh, a scraper removes the ice and it is pumped to another heat exchanger where the ice is gently warmed up to melt it. The concentrated fruit juice that collects at the bottom of the tank is pumped to a storage tank for export.

4. Final processing

In the final processing stage the pure water from fruit is filtered, treated with ozone to prevent biological contamination. Karpati water is filled into PET and glass bottles on a specially designed filling line. Face spray cans are filled off-site at a specialist manufacturer of these types of products.

It produces extremely pure water that has no fruit flavour. The chemical structure of the water is slightly different from normal drinking water as it is enriched with H2O18 molecules that come from the water in fruit.

There is no waste in the process. It is a totally closed system and the by-product is high quality fruit juice concentrate that is exported. Fruit juice concentrate is normally made by heating the juice and evaporating off the water as a waste product. This gives the reconstituted juice a "cooked" flavour. The process does not involve heat and all the flavours are retained in the fruit concentrate, and is therefore much more energy efficient than conventional juice concentrating processes.

The process can produce pure water from many types of fruit including oranges, apples, grapefruit or grapes. There is no difference in the quality or taste of the water produced by different types of fruit. The process produces pure water every time as the fruit flavour is retained in the juice concentrate. It produces approximately 3 litres of pure water and 1 litre of fruit juice concentrate from 4 litres of juice. This amount of fruit juice is made from approximately 7 -  10 kg of fruit, depending on the fruit.

Karpati Water is produced and bottled from juice produced from Australian grown fruit. The product is manufactured to the highest food safety standards.

Our bodies are 55 - 75% water. Water plays an important part in nearly all body functions

The following are some of the important things that water does in the body:

> Controls body temperature  > Helps to cool the body through sweating  > Carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body  > Is a medium for biochemical reactions in the body  > Removes waste from the body

Considering the importance of water in critical body functions, it is important to replace fluids by drinking enough water. Medical advice suggests that we should drink between five and eight glasses of water per day (even more when exercising regularly).

Water is the most important nutrient for controlling the body's temperature. It takes a relatively large heat increase or heat loss to alter the temperature of water. This is because water, compared to other substances releases and absorbs heat slowly.

It is well known that proper hydration is extremely important during exercise, particularly when it's hot or humid. Athletes exercising in a hot environment can lose more than 600 ml of water through respiration and perspiration every 20 minutes. To combat this loss, water in-take before and during exercise is essential,

Exercise hydration recommendations:

> Drink up to 1 litre of water 2 hours before exercising  > Drink up to 300 ml of water five minutes before exercising  > Drink chilled water during exercise (it is absorbed faster and cools the body better than warm water)

Depending where it is sourced, tap water may contain a number of contaminants ranging from metal ions through organic compounds to bacteria. Some of these compounds are beneficial but many should be avoided.

Karpati water is the most naturally purified water on the market because it has been filtered naturally through nature's filters - our trees. It has no chemicals and is safe, clean and refreshing. It is also low in salts and minerals. This is particularly beneficial for people trying to control the risk of developing high blood pressure by reducing sodium intake.

The structure of water allows it to carry all kinds of molecular "signatures" and energetic 'information". The structure of water also allows it to carry a quality that may be termed "life force” or "vital energy". These energetic characteristics are important for hydration because the structure of water can affect its ability to dissolve substances and make them available for transport within the body. Karpati water is a unique type of water because the natural filtration and evaporation processes in trees enrich the water in fruit with H2O18 molecule, that then change the size and structure of the clusters in Karpati water. It is therefore expected that it will exhibit beneficial properties through enhanced "life force", "vital energy" and hydration. Cleansing and refreshing skin

The benefits of 018 can also be experienced as a face spray. The Face Mist Spray produces millions of micro droplets of Karpati water to refresh and cleanse your skin. The water in the mist has a pH to complement your skin and the presence of H2O18 molecules helps to moisturise and enhance skin quality. Uses of the face spray include:

> Complete face cleansing  > Setting make-up  > Preventing razor burn  > Sooth sunburn and remove sea salts  > Hydrate skin in dry weather  > Cool skin in hot weather
