Brilio.net - Bottled mineral water has become a basic need for some people. The practicality and ease of access offered by bottled mineral water makes it the main choice for many people. Bottled mineral water is a practical solution to meet hydration needs in various situations, from travel, sports activities, to daily activities at home or in the office.
Apart from being practical, bottled mineral water is also easy to find in the nearest supermarket or grocery store. Usually the mineral water sold in supermarkets is very diverse. There are many brands sold with varying sizes and label designs. The differences in these labels can be seen easily through the various colors.
But did you know, the different colors of bottle caps for bottled drinking water have their own meaning, you know. A content creator who graduated from chemistry once explained this via the Instagram account @filipusadc.
"Not all drinking water is the same. Different colors of lids have different meanings," said Filip, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @filipusadc on Thursday (25/7).

Furthermore, he admitted that many bottled mineral waters are designed with blue lids. Well, this mineral water with a blue lid indicates that the water in it comes from an underground water source. The water is then processed through distillation to make it suitable for consumption.

This is similar to mineral water packaged with a green bottle cap. The water in it both comes from groundwater sources. However, the difference is that this mineral water tends to contain high levels of minerals.
This is different from bottled drinking water which has a white lid. According to Filip, the water in the bottle, which is packaged with a white lid, comes from piped water. So, the pipe water is then captured and certain chemicals are added.

There is also drinking water packaged with purple bottle caps. The water in it usually comes from the mountains. This is different from drinking bottles which are packaged with red or orange caps. This indicates that the water contains a certain taste.

But basically not all water bottles with purple, red and orange bottle caps come from mountain water or have a special taste, right? There are also those who package bottles with colored caps without a specific purpose or just for product branding.
This video belonging to Instagram user @filipusadc immediately caught the attention of netizens. Since it was uploaded on Monday (22/7), this video has been watched more than 5 million times. It's not surprising that the upload received a flood of comments from netizens.
"This is actually educational, thx for the info, just found out," said Instagram @un_arya.
"The information is really helpful, I just found out," said Instagram @4llf_phdz.
"Orange caps usually use a Reverse Osmosis system or through filtration using a 0.0001 micron filter membrane, so that the water is very sterile, free from heavy metals, viruses, bacteria and other dangerous substances," explained Instagram @habibiequotes_.
"Wow, thanks for the info. I usually consume the ones with blue & green lids," wrote the Instagram account @sgsantoso.
"What color is good for health, bro?" asked the Instagram account @afridon_kaharap, to which the video uploader answered, "all drinking water is good, the most important thing is to meet your drinking water needs of approximately 2l/day."
