Drinking Water: Water is more important in our life than eating. We can live without eating for several days, but it is impossible to live our life without water. In today’s time, we also consume water from outside due to spending more time out. Due to which the business of bottled water is increasing rapidly.

Many big companies like Bisleri to Kinley do the business of closed water in the bottle. But we are oblivious to the fact that there is a copy of these big companies in the market, which sells fake water to customers. We also buy these fake water bottles in the unknown at railway stations and metro stations. Buying fake water can have a profound effect on our health. Also, we can be a victim of many serious diseases.

drinking fake water

Last year, a news was heard from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh that a person’s health was worsened by drinking fake water and had to be admitted to the ICU. According to media reports, the water that the person drank was not the real ‘Bisleri’ but a fake company named similar to it. In such a situation, the question arises how to identify fake and real bottle.

See ISI Mark

See the ISI mark on the bottle to identify the fake bottle. ISI is a mark that ensures water quality and safety standards. If the ISI mark is not visible on the bottle, then you do not buy it.

Check FSSAI license number

See FSSAI license number on the bottle. This license number decides that the bottle making company has fulfilled all the necessary criteria. You can check the validity of the license number on the FSSAI website.

Check the bottle and its cap

You watch the bottle and its cap carefully. There should be no scratch, hole or any kind of leak on the bottle. The bottle cap should also be sealed and there should be no tampering of any kind. If you see any kind of damage on the bottle, do not buy it at all.

Check expiry date

Please check the expiry date on the bottle. Drinking water after expiry date can have a profound effect on your health. Therefore, make sure that the expiry date of the bottle is not over.
