Aquafina is popular brand of bottled water. It was first distributed in Wichita, Kansas in 1994, was distributed across the United States and Canada by 1997 and Turkey, and as of 2003, had become the United States' top-selling bottled water brand in measured retail channels.[1] The water is standard tap water but goes through an extensive purification process that includes charcoal filtration, reverse osmosis and ozonation. Aquafina is sold in 12-ounce, 500-mL (16.9-ounce), 20-ounce, 24-ounce, 1-liter, and 1.5-liter bottles.

Aquafina uses PepsiCo's own purification system, which it calls HydRO-7. PepsiCo states in marketing material that this system removes substances that may be in other brands of bottled water.[2]

PepsiCo produces several other products under the Aquafina label:

Aquafina Sparkling, carbonated flavoured water, available in Berry Blast (Raspberry), and Citrus Twist.
Aquafina FlavorSplash, flavoured water (without carbonation), available in Grape, Citrus Blend, Wild Berry, and Raspberry.
