Water Quality

A treatment for purifying water to the standards arma-grade water for production as per American Pharmacopeia is in place, combining the technologies of reverse osmosis and electrical deionization purification methods, rendering the water to purification levels of

less than 1μS in Conductivity, 5 times less than the European Pharmacopeia requires for Pharmaceutical Grade Products.

The purified water produced in the DISTRICT BOTANICA facility is stored in a 10.000lt, 316 stainless steel tank, providing a continuous flow of Purified Water to the manufacturing kettles. Vigorous testing is performed on a daily basis for chemical, microbial and operational performance to verify the water’s properties remain stable and up to the highest standards.
