From nature,
to us, to you.

Our story is simple. Aquafresh was established to provide consumers with pure, bottled drinking water sourced from nature. This source was found in a mountain region, in a unique rainforest.
We established an environmentally friendly factory and bottling plant in the location of these springs where pure water is extracted via ‘aquifers’ that reach 200ft beneath bedrock, avoiding any contamination through surface contact. This ensures only the purest water, untouched by human contact or exposed to the elements, is obtained. The depth of the water’s location ensures its purity and goodness. Because we believe in giving our consumer only the best.
And thanks to this pristine source of naturally pure water, the quality of production and superior packaging, over a million Sri Lankans choose the natural purity of Aquafresh bottled water today.

The start of a journey of purity

The journey of Aquafresh began in 2000 at the dawn of the millennium when the Access Group identified a need for pure, bottled drinking water of good quality. The company found the perfect source which was in the fine springs deep in the mountains of Labugamkanda, an area located in one of Sri Lanka’s geologically unique rain forests with minimum human habitat.
Given the depth of the springs and high level of natural purity in the water, a special purification system that mimics nature’s filtering process was designed by Professor Harin Corea from the University of Peradeniya. In May 2001, the production of 5 gallon bottles began. Following the brand’s success, Aquafresh introduced their now iconic range of PET bottles in 2005. The unique design of this PET bottle which was a first in the country, revolutionised the Sri Lankan bottle industry.

Quench your thirst sustainably

While focusing on obtaining pure water from the depths beneath bedrock, sustaining this source is also a priority for Aquafresh. We ensure that the extraction process is conducted adhering to annual geological reports which are conducted by qualified geologists. This is to ensure that the source will not be depleted so that the environment too, will continue to benefit from these natural springs. What’s more, the evolution of modern technology along with diligence and care on our part, enables us to constantly improve our water utilisation process. This helps reduce wastage while keeping our environment clean and void of pollutants.

Our Bottles

Aquafresh Five Gallon Bottle

We are also the first to introduce the 5 Gallon Poly Carbonate bottle to the Sri Lankan bottled water industry. As opposed to the PET drinking water bottle, the Poly Carbonate bottle can be reused. This is mainly due to the fact that the bottles withstand heat which is used in the cleaning process. Also, the handle on the bottle makes it convenient to lift the bottle and place it on the dispenser.

Our Water Source

Our water source is located deep in the mountains of Labugamkanda in a rainforest area. With minimum human habitat, this area remains pristine, lush and clean. Our wells go down 200 feet beneath the earth’s surface and bedrock to reach fine springs that supply pure water to our bottling plant.

Giving back to nature

In a move to repay nature for her bounty of pure water, our staff have planted several trees around the area. An herb garden has also been established and is diligently maintained and cared for. Our entire process is in accordance with environmental laws and regulations. But our gratitude to nature goes beyond that.

We place great importance on maintaining and protecting the forest surrounding our factory because we care deeply for our environment and strive to do what’s best for it, always.
