Does anyone know the difference between two brands of water sold in bags: Artica and Cristal? The price is different, but we are wondering if anyone knows how each is processed.

Aquarela delivers 5 gallons of local drinking water straight to your home for 12'000. They filter, treat and oxygenate the water. I have been to their treatment/bottling plant in Palma Alta and have seen the creek they get the water from, all seems good. You DO need to buy some kind of dispensor, though. Cell/whatsapp: ‭***
