Do You Really Know Water?

Think water’s water? Guess again.

There are actually numerous sub-categories of H2O, the No. 1 building-block of life. We examine a few of them here.

Still water (also called flat or tap)

When most people think of water, they’re thinking of still water. It has no bubbles. Turn on the spigot, and there it is.

Your Natura filtered water machine starts with the still water that comes from your tap, runs it through our patented three-step filtration process (which removes pollutants but retains healthy, great-tasting minerals), and serves it either chilled or room temperature. It also has a third option of adding pressurized carbon dioxide, which creates the second kind of water on our list.

Sparkling water (also called carbonated water, soda water, and fizzy water)

A key feature of the Natura commercial sparkling water system is its ability to transform ordinary tap water into sparkling water. Via a carbon dioxide (CO2) tank, the gas is infused into the water, creating those familiar bubbles. The big soft drink companies begin their recipes with carbonated water, loading it up with sugar or artificial sweeteners in the production process. Natura is refreshing, sustainable sparkling water with no added ingredients—other than the CO2 bubbles. It is the ultimate carbonated water machine.

Sparkling water is an amenity more often associated with high-end establishments, and the ability to offer it at pennies a glass is a significant advantage. There are bubbly waters that get their effervescence from naturally-occurring gases, but they are rarer and more expensive.

Mineral water

As the name suggests, mineral water contains naturally occurring minerals. While most all water in nature contains minerals to a degree, what we think of as mineral water has them to such an extent that the taste is noticeably impacted. Mineral water is so full of magnesium, potassium, and calcium that it contains a characteristically salty taste.

Spring water

On occasion, groundwater will leak upward and breach the surface. Because it is coming from an underground aquifer, it is generally considered safe to drink. Commercially, the phrase “spring water” has been somewhat misused, making it hard to always be certain you’re getting actual spring water. Getting it from the source yourself is an ideal way to be sure, but it’s an option not available to everyone.

These are four types of water you may commonly encounter at restaurants, bars, spas, and resorts. All refresh in their own ways, although some are more economical than others.

Boost Your Gut Health with Filtered Sparkling Water

February 17, 2025

The Link Between Hydration and Gut Health Your gut is at the core of your overall well-being, playing a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even immune function. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, but not all water is created equal. While sugary sodas and artificial beverages can disrupt gut flora, sparkling filtered water offers a refreshing and beneficial alternative. How Sparkling Filtered Water Supports Digestive Health 1. Aiding Digestion Ever felt bloated or sluggish after a meal? Carbonation in sparkling water can help stimulate digestion by promoting the natural release of digestive enzymes. This mild effervescence can also ease feelings of fullness, making it a great option after a heavy meal. 2. Reducing Bloating and Constipation Filtered sparkling water has been shown to help relieve constipation by improving bowel movements. The gentle bubbles can stimulate peristalsis, the wave-like muscle contractions that move food through your intestines, helping to prevent sluggish digestion. 3. Maintaining a Balanced Microbiome Your gut microbiome thrives when you consume pure, clean water. Many tap and bottled waters contain contaminants, chlorine, and even microplastics that can disrupt gut bacteria. By choosing triple-filtered Natura sparkling water, you’re avoiding these harmful elements and providing your digestive system with a cleaner, healthier hydration source. 4. Alleviating Acid Reflux & Heartburn While unfiltered carbonated drinks can sometimes contribute to acid reflux, water from Natura systems are free from artificial sweeteners and acidity-increasing additives, making it a gentler option. The effervescence can also help clear excess mucus from the esophagus, offering relief from mild reflux symptoms. Why Filtered Water Matters for Gut Health Filtering your water removes impurities such as heavy metals, chlorine, and bacteria, all of which can negatively impact gut health. Sparkling filtered water provides the best of both worlds: a pure, clean hydration source with the digestive benefits of carbonation. The Natura Water Difference At Natura Water, we believe that hydration should be both pure and enjoyable . Our premium water filtration systems ensure that every sip is free from contaminants while offering the crisp, refreshing taste of high-quality sparkling water. Whether for home, office, or hospitality use, our systems support gut health and sustainability, eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles.

It promotes digestion, helps prevent bloating, and keeps your gut microbiome balanced—all while offering a delicious, bubbly experience. Ready to upgrade your hydration?
