Costco: The 4 different types of water explained
Transcript
Hello, everybody. Here's Martin, your personal water sommelier. Let's talk here at Costco about the four types of different waters you can buy at your local Costco. When it comes to water these days, guys, I think it's very confusing for the consumer to understand actually the label, and the label will tell you already actually what is in the water and where's the water is coming from, the source of the water. So let's find out what is purified, what is spring water, what is Ateezian spring better, and mineral better, and then to the end we're gonna do some sparkling water as well. Okay. The first category is purified waters. And it even says this here for example, the chloroplank signature purified water. So purified water means it's tap water based. They're filtering everything out, and they're bringing back some electrolytes for the taste. Very important. That does not mean when it says, with minerals added or with electrolytes added that there are tons of electrolytes in these waters. No. No. They barely have any electrolytes added. It's just a marketing worse.
