Unlike other industries where water is an auxiliary resource, <strong>bottling water is the final product<\/strong>. This means that any change, contamination or imbalance in its physico-chemical and microbiological parameters can directly affect its marketing, consumer perception and, ultimately, public health.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the legislation in force is particularly strict. At European level, <strong>Directive (EU) 2020\/2184 on the quality of water intended for human consumption<\/strong>, together with its transposition into national legislation, defines the criteria that water intended for bottling must meet. In addition, depending on its origin and treatment, specific regulations may apply, such as those for <strong>natural mineral waters and spring waters<\/strong>, regulated in the case of Spain by <strong>Royal Decree 1798\/2010<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Requirements include, but are not limited to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Absence of pathogenic micro-organisms.<\/li>\n<li>Strict limits for chemical contaminants and treatment by-products.<\/li>\n<li>Stability of the organoleptic profile (smell, taste, colour).<\/li>\n<li>Controlled mineral composition, both from a legal and nutritional point of view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the light of these requirements, the choice of water treatment technologies becomes a fundamental decision. Each water source, whether groundwater, surface water or mains water, has different characteristics that must be corrected or stabilised by an appropriate treatment line. The bottling industry therefore requires tailor-made solutions that combine operational reliability, regulatory compliance and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Resumen de Contenidos<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/jhuesa.com\/en\/bottled-water-treatment\/#Bottling_water_treatment_a_technological_chain_dedicated_to_quality\" >Bottling water treatment: a technological chain dedicated to quality<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/jhuesa.com\/en\/bottled-water-treatment\/#Key_parameters_in_the_quality_of_bottled_water\" >Key parameters in the quality of bottled water<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/jhuesa.com\/en\/bottled-water-treatment\/#1_Physico-chemical_parameters\" >1.

The most used are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reverse osmosis<\/strong>: Allows <a href=\"https:\/\/jhuesa.com\/en\/technologies\/reverse-osmosis\">the removal of dissolved salts, organic compounds, microorganisms and heavy metals<\/a>. It is particularly useful when the water is highly mineralised or contains contaminants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Degassing<\/strong>: Used to reduce the concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen or hydrogen sulphide, which can affect the chemical stability of the water, its taste and cause problems in packaging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remineralisation<\/strong>: After intensive purification, the mineral profile of the water must be adjusted to meet legal parameters and improve organoleptic characteristics. This process allows the &#8220;character&#8221; of the bottled water to be customised.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filtration and final disinfection<\/strong>: Processes such as microfiltration, ultraviolet light or ozonisation guarantee microbiological stability until the moment of bottling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The correct sequencing of these technologies, as well as their dimensioning and control, are essential to ensure the consistent quality of bottled water, which consumers take for granted but which requires complex technical work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_parameters_in_the_quality_of_bottled_water\"><\/span>Key parameters in the quality of bottled water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The quality control of bottled water requires continuous and accurate monitoring of several parameters.
