HEALTHY FAMILY PACKAGED PURIFIED WATER

Manila Water remains committed to providing clean, safe and potable water up to its customers water meter. However, the demand for package water as a result of distrust towards one’s household after-the-meter or internal plumbing persists. Households prefer purified water to avoid the mandatory residual chlorine in tap water. As a response, MWTS, through its Healthy Family (HF) brand, offered purified water in 5-gallon containers with guaranteed shelf life of six months.

Establishing its presence in the purified water market, HF now has three variants. The 500-ml bottle (500-ml HF Mini) was launched in 2017, which are retailed in packs or cases of 24 bottles. Two new variants were commissioned and commercialized in 2018: the 350-ml bottle (350-ml HF Mini), which was launched in July 2018, and the one-liter bottle, which was launched in December 2018.

All HF variants connect to the same distribution network that provides livelihood and employment opportunities to over 200 partner distributors. HF currently has two plants with a total production capacity of 30,000 containers per day. Its customer base currently covers Metro Manila, and its growing key accounts include government institutions, hotels, schools, hospitals, BPO offices, fitness centers, and sari-sari stores.
