ORIGIN / KAIWAKA, NORTHLAND
A place unlike
any other.
Our story begins in the Pukekaroro volcanic landscape of Northland. A source with its own geology, character and mineral profile — the foundation of KS Water.
*Indicative source measurements from project materials, pending current independent verification and final labels.
THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN
A better format.
A clear purpose.
One 10-litre box holds the same volume of water as twenty 500 ml bottles. We make space for honest conversations about packaging, reuse and sensible everyday hydration.
BEYOND THE BOTTLE
“Better hydration has the power to connect better communities.”
Supporting local schools, sports and meaningful community partnerships.
01 / OUR WATER
Born of place.
Defined by nature.
A story of geology, source character and careful handling — from Kaiwaka in Northland, New Zealand.
THE ORIGIN
The source
makes the difference.
Near the Pukekaroro volcanic landscape, the Kauri Springs source has a distinctive natural mineral profile. We believe exceptional water should be understood and respected — not endlessly engineered.
Our ambition is simple: preserve the character of the water with responsible and carefully controlled processing, and make its story clear to the people who drink it.
UNDERSTAND THE WATER
Naturally
distinctive.
Indicative water profile from KS project materials. Values require independent current verification before product labelling.
*Project information, not certified label data. TDS expresses total dissolved mineral content; it is not a measure of purity or safety. Silica is reported as an indicative analytical result. Finished pH is a process target, not a measured batch result.
MINIMAL INTERVENTION
Handled with
intention.
Our planned treatment philosophy is to do only what is necessary for reliable quality, food safety and the desired final water profile.
Process details are based on planning materials and are not a claim of current commissioning, certification or regulatory approval.
READ THE LABEL
What’s in
your water?
Total dissolved solids
TDS estimates the sum of dissolved minerals and other dissolved substances in water. A higher or lower number does not, by itself, mean better water.
Silica and minerals
Mineral composition contributes to a water’s natural character. Individual concentrations should be confirmed through laboratory analysis.
Quality and safety
Safe drinking water depends on robust treatment, hygienic packaging and microbiological and chemical testing — not marketing claims about ‘purity’.
02 / THE COLLECTION
Water for
real life.
Everyday hydration with a considered point of view. The same KS identity, thoughtfully expressed across boxed and glass formats.
01 / THE ORIGINAL FORMAT
The 10L
statement.
A beautifully simple way to make premium water a fixture in your home, workplace or shared space. Our signature 10-litre boxed format balances practical volume with considered design.

WHERE KS BELONGS
Every place.
Good water.
Home & everyday
Thoughtful water storage and dispensing for kitchens, weekends and family occasions.
Office & corporate
Water worth putting on display in contemporary offices and shared workspaces.
Hospitality & events
Understated premium water presentation for hotels, restaurants and special events.
03 / SUSTAINABILITY
Considered
by nature.
A practical approach to resources, packaging, reuse and the decisions that matter beyond the water itself.
A PRACTICAL IDEA
Less noise.
More intention.
We believe sustainability begins with being transparent about what a product is, how it is made and how it can be handled responsibly after use.
Our boxed format offers ten litres in one container. Each material choice has environmental trade-offs, and accurate lifecycle comparisons require independent data.
See the volume comparisonTHE 10 LITRE IDEA
One box.
Twenty servings.
Choose the right format
One ten-litre box supplies the same amount of water as twenty 500 ml bottles. Less packaging by unit count is not automatically lower total environmental impact.
Sort materials correctly
Follow your local recycling programme. Paperboard, plastic liners, taps and glass may need to be separated, depending on the packaging and local collection rules.
Reuse with purpose
Clean, empty cardboard boxes can be repurposed for storage, crafts and small home projects. Avoid reusing drinking-water packaging in ways that create hygiene risks.
SECOND LIFE IDEAS
A little creativity
goes a long way.
Give the box a second life
Once properly emptied and dried, use the outer cardboard for school art, drawer organisers, storage labels or simple plant-pot covers.
Keep good glass in use
Clean bottles may be suitable for decorative single-stem vases or home styling. Do not refill for drinking unless bottles and closures are specifically designed and maintained for safe reuse.
WHAT WE WILL NOT CLAIM
Thoughtful design deserves honest evidence.
We will not claim quantified carbon savings or ‘plastic-free’ packaging without robust product-specific evidence.
04 / OUR COMMUNITY
Good water.
Good company.
Water connects daily routines, local teams, families and communities. Our ambition reaches beyond the product.
THE COMMUNITY PROMISE
Small actions.
Real impact.
We want KS to stand for something tangible: good water, generous partnerships and support where it can make a meaningful difference.
As Kauri Springs develops, we aim to establish practical partnerships with schools, grassroots sports and community organisations. Initiatives shown here describe our intentions, not existing confirmed sponsorship arrangements.
