AYSAFA Natural Spring Water has entered the bottled water industry by making its first production in 2002. AYSAFA’s water source comes from Saklikent’s Tekirpinar Spring, approximately 2000 meters above sea level, situated in the Taurus Mountains in Turkey. The actual origin and quality of the Tekirpinari Spring is one of Turkey’s most healthy water. It has pioneered by developing and following high stadards in healthy and hygienic production and is using high-tech in all work processes. From source to finished product all physical chemical and microbiological tests are taken and finished products and traceability of finished products are provided. The Turkish Ministry of Health has set standards and regulations, specified in accordance with European standards, for AYSAFA’s water source and for providing a hygienic environment. A food grade polyethylene water pipeline is used from the natural spring water source to the AYSAFA facility. This pipeline is 24 km long. After travelling this length, AYSAFA natural spring water arrives to a 400 ton tank in the facility. Within the facility stainless steel tanks and polyethylene pipes are used in order to prevent breaks and leaks. In this manner, the water has no contact with air, exposure to contamination and pollution. Machine operators abide to strict equipment handling practices and ensure that the water is not contaminated from when it is bottled, to when it reaches the consumer. All necessary precautions are taken against external influences from the source, through the pipes, machinery and personnel. AYSAFA Natural Spring Water is also one of the biggest groups in bottled water industry.
