How does light affect water bottles?"Store the bottle in a place protected from sunlight or frost" – you see such messages on almost all water bottles and bottles – and La Fântâna cans are, of course, no exception.
We always tell our customers, in all ways, that it takes some clear conditions for the water cooler to be both good tasting and safe for consumption. However, we encountered cases where we were criticized for the quality of the water – when the water had been delivered in compliance with all norms and standards. The problem turned out to be one of storage, at the customer. Many of these situations are related to the exposure of water cans in improper conditions.
The best-known example is the occurrence of algae in the bidon.
Explanation:
The appearance of algae is not abnormal at all. Suppose the water is not microbiologically filtered or treated by chlorination, like mains water (because the law prohibits these types of treatments for spring water and mineral water). In that(...)

La Fântâna has built its business and reputation through water cooler and purifier services – impossible things without deep knowledge and understanding of water.
We open with this article a series of informative materials related to drinking water. Water, the most important catalyst of life, seems, for most of us, something trivial and normal: "simple as water". Nowadays, in the era of consumer economy, intensive exploitation of land, and pollution, this is not the case at all. To bring this information to the public, we turned to the experience of the "water teacher", biochemist Silvia Enculescu.
"Pure water" is not what you think
Physico-chemically, "pure water" does not exist naturally. Pure water exists from a scientific perspective, it is obtained at the end of physicochemical processes, only in laboratories - and is used only for the preparation of reagents and culture media. Legally, this type of water is prohibited for human consumption.
Equally important, what is in drinking(...)

Minerals in water and their benefits
Mineral water, carbonated or still, comes from underground and has a characteristic and constant composition over time. In perhaps the shortest possible definition, mineral water is microbiologically pure water originating from a groundwater or underground aquifer deposit and coming from a source exploited by one or more natural emergencies or boreholes, protected naturally and by strict areas.
We, Romanians, have been making a semantic confusion for a long time – we tend to call "mineral water" carbonated water, or bubble water, regardless of whether that water is mineral (biochemically and legally) table water or spring water.
Why is it good to drink mineral water?
Mineral water has numerous benefits, some less known to everyone. It contains salts, and these are very good for rehydrating the body, especially in summer. Contrary to some contemporary mythologies, like any good drinking water, mineral water does not make you fat, because it has no calories(...)

Let's learn about water
Water is all around us. We drink it, wash things with it, turn it into ice and put it in our juice in summer, swim in it, watch it fall from the sky in various forms, and so on. Water is indispensable to life – the fact that we could not live without it is already a truism. And although we use it so often, there's so much information about water that we don't know.
Let's first recap what we all know about water: It is an odorless, tasteless, and colorless liquid found in nature in liquid, solid, and gaseous form. It is one of the most widespread substances on our planet and forms the Earth's shell called the "hydrosphere". It can also be fresh or salty: salt water is found in oceans and seas, and fresh water can be solid – in glaciers, polar caps, snow, or snow (solid precipitation) and liquid in flowing, stagnant water, and liquid precipitation – rain and groundwater or groundwater. In its gaseous state, water forms clouds and causes air humidity. Being always in(...)
