We not only have some of the purest Spring Water in Australia, we use a world class bottling process that ensures the purity and integrity of our premium Spring Water is able to be enjoyed by everyone.

Our Spring Water passes through a four stage micro filtration system, UV sterilisation and ozonation to ensure the purity of the water is maintained before our water travels to our purpose built positive pressure ventilated labelling, filling and capping room. This entire process minimises the risk of biological contamination and guarantees that our water is safe for consumption.

Our HACCP and ABWI certified production process ensures that Ice House Spring Water tastes the way water should taste – like water.

Carbon neutrality is a critical goal of our business and through this; we aim to keep the world cool.

Our new bottling process provides many environmental benefits. Our production process has enabled us to significantly reduce the weight of the bottles we produce.

This has resulted in:

  • Significantly less plastic in the environment
  • Reduced Carbon footprint
  • Lighter total pack weight

This light weighting has enabled us to save an estimated 914,697 kg of PET plastic for 2010/11 from entering the environment.

Our process allows us to blow mould our own bottles from preforms. This greatly reduces the amount of freight required for Ice House Spring Water to source and produce bottles and results in less trucks on our roads.

Our blow moulding process heats our bottles to a temperature in excess of 105 degrees Celsius. As this extreme heat kills any contaminants that maybe in the preform, the water needed to clean our bottles and our process has been reduced by 30% from our previous facility.

Due to the light weighting of our bottles, the efficiency of our process, and the upgraded top load strength of the bottles produced by Ice House Spring Water, we have been able to decrease the weight of the printed film used to package our water.

All materials used to package Ice House Spring Water are 100% recyclable too!
