Ultra Pure Water 101 — What It Is & Why Purity Matters More in 2026 Wed Dec 03 2025 Introduction Every year, water quality becomes a bigger conversation: PFAS contamination, microplastics, chlorine, pharmaceuticals, hard water… the list keeps growing. Consumers are more aware than ever that purity matters, not just taste. That’s why ultra-pure water has become one of the fastest-growing categories in premium hydration. It’s water stripped down to its cleanest form — nothing added, nothing unnecessary — just pure H₂O. Penta is one of the few brands delivering water that reaches this level of purity, thanks to an 11-hour, 13-step purification system that removes impurities smaller than one-billionth of a meter. Let’s break down what ultra-pure water really is, and why it matters more than ever in 2026. What Is Ultra-Pure Water? Ultra-pure water is water that has gone through advanced, multi-stage purification to remove: Heavy metals Fluoride Chlorine & chloramines Pharmaceuticals PFAS (“forever chemicals”) Microplastics Pesticides Industrial pollutants Taste-altering minerals Total dissolved solids (TDS) down to 0–2 ppm This makes it the cleanest drinking water available for everyday hydration.
