Welcome to Wedge-tailed Water
Our High Purity Drinking Water is incredibly good. We source our water from rain water in Parkes NSW and blend it with mangrove mountain springs then extensively filter and treat it.
We guarantee it is free of all potential nasties like chlorine, fluoride, metals, mineral variability and bacteria risks.
Our owned-returnable 15 litre PET bottles are BPA free and have engineered taps so you can use them self-standing or in any cooler.
We sell our bottled water for $12 (GST exempt) on the first order.
For every empty (MT) return bottle we also give you a $1 credit for future orders which means the water is costing you less than 80 cents a litre!
ORDER by Phone: 0409-633-447
We offer free delivery Monday to Friday within Parkes NSW. For surrounding shires up to 50km from Parkes we will deliver with minimum 4 bottles. Over 50 kms we will deliver at additional transport fee upon application.
We do have Customer Care requirements and a few terms and conditions that are important to us to maintain our quality provided to you especially with our bottles - please read the terms at the very bottom. No contracts just a form of Identification upon ordering. Simple!
From our family to yours - thank you and best wishes.
Healthy Water.
High Purity <10ppm - pH Neutral - Zero Fluoride, Zero Nasties
Our Focus
In January 2025 our baby could not drink town or supermarket bottled water because they had a high dissolved solid count, contained metal-based minerals, fluoride and chlorine and were not bacterially treated. Water that is not treated is a huge risk to health for any person not just babies.
The only water he could take was supplied in 600ml bottles by NSW Health Hospitals which are specially filtered and treated with Ozone by a company in Penrith NSW hence that is why we invested hundreds of thousands of dollars on research, development, infrastructure and equipment to achieve high purity drinking water that is bacterially treated.
Our industrial systems produce large amounts efficiently and we wanted to offer our community the same opportunity to have high purity drinking water.
Our Facility
Our water is not just purified, it is specially treated to be free of all potential microbes (fever causing bacterial fragments), making it essential for safe hydration in the body. While some authorities believe minerals in water are good for health, or chemicals like fluoride good for preventing tooth decay, or chlorine is the safest way to sterilize water, some research suggests risks of bacteria for untreated water is high, minerals and chemicals in water could have adverse effects on human health.
To obtain high purity drinking water requires a very specialized combination industrial filtration systems and a very complicated understanding of bacteria, diseases and contamination risks along with proven scientific experience and processes.
Our Compliance
We operate to food safety programs under the codex Alimentarius: General Principles of Food Hygiene –HACCP System [STANDARD 3.2.3] and Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011 (NHMRC and NRMMC 2011) as updated. We are also Biosecurity Accredited and comply with NSW Health, NSW Food Authority, NSW Public Health Act 2010, NSW Public Health Regulation 2012 and the NSW Food Act 2003.
NSW Health and The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG) provide the framework for assessing water safety, including microbial, chemical, and physical parameters. These guidelines are used by water regulators to ensure water is safe at the point of use. Key indicators include the absence of E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and other pathogens, as well as limits on chemicals such as lead, fluoride, manganese, chlorine and nitrates.
Healthy High Purity Water is Quality Water
Pure H20 Taste
Although water is scarce, it can come from many sources - ground, river, lake, bore, aquifer, springs, seawater and rain but without proper filtration and treatment pose higher risks to health according to NSW Health.
Town / Municipal treated water (tap water) on the other hand is safe but still has problems of chlorine taste and a is not considered high purity rather average purity. They don't have the infrastructure to get their ground water to high purity. It would cost councils hundreds of billions of dollars to do so because of the volume of water they treat.
Our high purity water has zero nasties, neutral pH, and a total dissolved solid count of less than 10 parts per million and constantly circulates through Ultra-Violet light. We also oxygenate our water with pure medical grade oxygen at time of bottling which gives our water a delightful crisp taste.
We take pride in our pure water product and depend on it for our own family's health; we value our customers who are an extension of our family.
Why Reusable Quality PET Bottles Matter
Microplastics in supermarket packaged water bottles are a significant concern due to their potential health risks and environmental impact. Research indicates that supermarket bottled water drinkers may be consuming up to 90,000 more microplastic particles per year than those who consume tap water. But then drinking tap water also has its problems with high chlorine and Total Dissolved Solids above 200 parts per million of unknown foreign matter.
Research shows that the presence of microplastics in supermarket bottled water is linked to various health issues, including inflammation, hormonal disruption, and neurological damage. Under certain circumstances, these bottles, particularly single-use ones as they are not as durable, can release plastics particles, along with chemicals and metals, into the water.
Zero Bacteria
Water treatment by UV disinfection has many advantages:
This is a non-chemical treatment, so no harmful chemicals are added.
It is effective on a wide range of pathogens, including those resistant to chlorination (certain protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia).
Regulatory bodies officially recognise its validity.
It features an effective treatment that destroys 99.99% of micro-organisms.
It is an eco-friendly technology; in addition, UV contains no disinfection by-products.
Reliable, and in fact it works day and night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Safe for users, as it does not require the handling of chemicals.
Compact and fast treatment, facilitating water circulation without holding tank or reaction time.
In fact, it is more effective than chlorine or chloramines.
Unlike chlorine, which modifies taste and odour, UV rays do not change water or create derivatives.
Using a UV water purifier is a safe and effective solution to achieve pure, bacteria-free water.
What is Quality Water
It's no surprise more Australian's are taking a closer look at what they drink every day. Whether it's at home, in the workplace, or on-site, access to filtered and treated water has never mattered more.
Reduced Exposure to Contaminants: The primary benefit is the removal of harmful substances and bacteria, reducing the risk of waterborne illnesses and long-term health problems.
Improved Taste and Odor: Purification eliminates unpleasant tastes and odours often associated with tap water, making it more palatable and encouraging better hydration.
Reduced Risk of Chlorine Exposure: Chlorine, a common disinfectant in municipal water systems, can have potential health effects. Purified water removes chlorine, mitigating these risks.
Safer for Vulnerable Populations: People with weakened immune systems, infants, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to waterborne contaminants. Purified water provides a safer drinking option for these groups.
Zero Chemicals
Our industrial filters (thirteen of them) remove all chemicals from any water source.
Our process control measures in our Standard Operating Procedures and Risk Management Plans ensure high purity water 100% of the time.
All bottles are routinely inspected, washed, sterilized, rinsed with a three-stage environmentally friendly and organic clean in place process. We bottle our water under positive pressure in a clean room environment. Our bottle caps and taps are sanitized with 70% Isopropyl alcohol 2 mins before capping.
Sourced Rainwater
We take rainwater from 370 metre altitude in Parkes East NSW and make it high purity, during times of drought we top up with Mangrove Mountain Pure Spring Water and turn it into high purity water blends. The result: water that is cleaner, healthier and tastier than 99% of brands in Australia.
We monitor air quality daily for 'particulate matter', another term for particles. They are generated by combustion processes from sources such as vegetation fires, motor vehicles and industrial activities. For our area it remains zero - which is excellent! We say no to burning Sydney's rubbish and are strongly against Energy to Waste incinerators in our region.
