At Farah, we know that freshness and consistency go hand in hand. Our rigorous quality control standards help us make sure that you will enjoy the same crisp, delicious water every time you take a sip.   To maintain the purity of our water, we employ a comprehensive, multi-barrier filtration system that involves carefully controlled and continuously monitored disinfection processes in hygienically designed lines. We test our water when it comes into the plant and for consistency several times per hour at every stage of the bottling process. Every year, we screen for over 200 possible contaminants—far more than state and federal regulations require. The Source Our water originates deep in the pristine aquifers of the Sudan where it passes through miles of sand and gravel that filters the water naturally, giving it a crisp, fresh taste. The Purity The quality and purity of our water is serious business to us. We offer natural artesian water in its purest form containing no added chemicals or agents. What is the shelf life of bottled water? There are no published guidelines or regulations pertaining to a legal shelf for bottled water. We do, however, recommend that you consume your water within 2 years of the bottling date.
