Frequently Asked Questions
Our water is outsourced in Wisconsin. Due to the water shortage we face in California, we wanted to stay true to our socially responsible and eco-friendly values and obtain premium the water elsewhere.
The water comes from an underground aquifer that is then purified through a reverse osmosis system to ensure only the finest and purest Surfwater.
It has enhanced with electrolytes and a pH level of 7.4+, which are both great for our body.
Additionally we also has a Sparkling and Spring Water edition!
Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge.
Common electrolytes:
Calcium
Chloride
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Electrolytes affect how your body functions including:
The amount of water in your body
The acidity of your blood (pH level)
Muscle function
Blood pressure regulation
When you sweat, your body loses valuable electrolytes that should be replaced through fluids containing these important minerals. Your average bottle of water does not contain these advantages.
pH = Power of Hydrogen
The pH level is a measure of acidity and alkalinity (basicity) of a solution, ranging on a number scale from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity whereas the higher the pH, the lower the acidity (higher the alkalinity).
Everyone’s blood has a pH level ranging from 7.35-7.45. Our Surfwater contains a pH of 7.4 to cater to one’s hydration needs.
The higher the pH doesn’t always mean the better the liquid solution is for your body to function as its best.
Despite a lack of proven scientific research, consuming neutral alkaline water
(pH = 7) is believed to have some health benefits:
Anti-aging properties
Colon-cleansing properties
Immune system support
Skin hydration and detoxification
Weight loss
Cancer resistance
Surfwater is available mostly at Hospitality outlets, from top Hotels in California to Famous Golf Resorts and Restaurant chains, Sports venues, Food to Go places and many trendy coffee shops!
In addition, you can buy Surfwater here at our page or also on Amazon Prime which means your water could be at your doorstep in 24 hours- even if you're in ALASKA or the Hamptons.. since we don't have distribution there YET.
Headquartered in San Diego, Surfwater is quickly expanding all over California. We have also recently entered the Pacific Northwest – Oregon and Washington. Right now, we are working on opening distributors in Florida, Hawaii, and more!

Yes, our aluminum bottles are 100% recyclable and 100% BPANI (no BPA liner).
Not only is aluminum the most recycled material, but it is infinitely recyclable as well. The material from one aluminum Surfwater bottle can be returned and made into another identical bottle with no new material needed.
This process can happen in less than 60 days!
Aluminum is recycled more than twice as often as plastic, glass and cartoons. Its high scrap value – the estimated worth or value of an asset after its useful life is over and can no longer be used for its original purpose – ensures the demand to recycle and reuse. Cartons
Shelf-stable cartons contain multiple thin layers of paper, plastic and aluminum, in turn making the recycling process a challenge. Less than half of American households have access to curbside recycling for cartons, which means a lot of these packages are never actually recycled correctly. Glass
Glass can be recycled but not as often or as much as aluminum. 77% - 100% of all aluminum can be recycled compared to glass at 31%. Glass is also heavier, which takes more fuel to transport, therefore adding extra carbon emissions to the environment. Plant Based Plastic
We all know there are several plastic bottles out there made from plants! Plants should be eco-friendly, right? Although it is true that these products are produced with less energy, the end product is still plastic. Therefore, the destructive end-of-life plastic problems are still relevant. Not all plant-based plastics decompose. Even when bottles are labeled as biodegradable or compostable, this doesn’t mean they can just be buried in soil to breakdown and dissolve. Instead, this process requires an industrial composting facility.
In order to be completely “plastic-free” and recyclable, the bottle must not contain petroleum-based plastics, which isn’t always the case, so they end up in landfills or our beautiful oceans anyway.
Doesn’t sound like such a great option anymore, right?
Our bottles are designed as single use products, but our Surfwater bottle can be washed and reused with no problem.
We all re-wear our five-year old jeans. Same idea! But please recycle.
