Bottle Your Own



Everyone who is anyone knows that Hawaii has the best tap water in the world. All Hawaiian Tap water “taps into” the great Hawaiian aquifer. Filtered by ancient volcanoes, it has all of the qualities of Hawaiian Spring water and more.

Hawaiian Tap is more than just the convenience of carrying your water from place to place. Hawaiian Tap shows you've committed to support and help preserve Hawaii’s environment simply by drinking the best tap water in the world. Bottling our own Hawaiian Tap water is a pledge to stop buying plastic containers of bottled water and enjoy the pure and fresh water of our island home.

Did you know that each day an estimated 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away? And it takes more than 47 million gallons of oil to produce plastic water bottles for Americans every year. Eliminating those bottles would be like taking 100,000 cars off the road and 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Just because ours is a small state doesn’t mean the problem is any better here. We have warm weather year round, and millions of tourists who buy and drink, and throw away millions of plastic water bottles.

It's ironic that Hawaii’s number one export is bottled water – primarily deep ocean seawater from Kona on the Big Island. Bottling and shipping water is the least efficient method of water delivery ever invented. The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes.

P.S. Soon you'll be able to buy your own Hawaiian Tap water bottle online and at Lanikai Bath and Body in Kailua. After that, t-shirts. Let us know if you're interested and we'll save one for you: info@lanikaibathandbody.com
