Water consists of a variety of suspended solids and it is necessary to remove them. A series of filtration is carried out to remove the suspended particles. Filtration processes such as micro filtration, nanofiltration and ultra filtration processes are carried out to clean the water.

Reverse osmosis: The process of reverse osmosis is also done in the water bottling plants to purify the water.

Deionization: Another function of the water bottling plant include the process of deionization. Spring water contains large amounts of minerals which should be removed from the water. This process is known as deionization. It is usually done with the help of resin beds.

Ozonation: The filtered water is then treated with chlorine or ozone which acts as a disinfectant. The process of Ozonation helps to kill the harmful bacteria present in the water.
