He said “real water” should expire after a few months. His does. “It stays most
fresh within one lunar cycle of delivery,” he said. “If it sits around too long, it’ll turn
green. People don’t even realize that because all their water’s dead, so they never see
it turn green.”
The marketing speak these companies utilize makes me cringe. As a science teacher, I aim to help students develop the ability to critically analyze claims like these. I think half of the people in charge of these companies believe their own hype, and half of them are just doing it to take money from uneducated people.

- throwawy123117 9y agoIt's definitely cringe-worthy, but I don't doubt the turning green part: a fish tank will do that too from algal growth, which is almost certainly what is happening to their "real" water.
- Xylakant 9y agoA fish tank provides ample nutrients for algae growth, pure spring water not so much (unless they pour fish food into the water) Pure tap water will not turn green within a month.
- ivanhoe 9y agoIt's really about the level of ammonia/nitrates in the water and a sufficiently strong source of light, that's all that algae need. It will happen to any water that sits a few weeks in open air so that spores can get into it. Even a regular tap water with added chloride will turn green if it has at least some level of nitrates in it (and usually they have).
