In Nigeria’s fast-growing bottled and sachet water industry, not all water is created equal. While clear packaging may give the illusion of purity, true water quality goes far beyond appearances. At Ajalisco Production Industries, we understand that every drop matters — and that’s why we have invested in world-class laboratory testing, modern machinery, and a team of certified experts to ensure that Ajalisco Premium Water is not just clean, but certified safe for everyday consumption.
In this article, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our multi-stage quality testing protocol — the very system that ensures every sachet and bottle of Ajalisco Water you drink is trusted, traceable, and completely pure.
1. Water Quality Begins with Sourcing
Our commitment to quality starts long before filtration. We extract water from deep, geologically verified boreholes on our premises. These boreholes are lined, sealed, and monitored for:
- Turbidity (clarity)
- Mineral concentration
- Microbial presence
Samples from each borehole undergo monthly geological and microbiological testing to ensure no contaminants seep into the source.
2. Multi-Stage Filtration & Purification
Once extracted, raw water is directed through our closed-loop filtration system, which includes:
🌀 a. Sand and Sediment Filters
Removes large particles like sand, dirt, and rust.
🧪 b. Activated Carbon Filters
Eliminates chlorine, odor-causing compounds, and organic residues.
💠 c. Microfiltration Membrane
Traps microscopic particles and bacteria that pass through earlier filters.
🔄 d. Reverse Osmosis (RO)
This high-pressure system removes up to 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, nitrates, and harmful chemicals.
🔬 e. UV Light Sterilization
Neutralizes remaining bacteria and viruses without altering taste.
🌬️ f. Ozonation
Our final stage introduces food-grade ozone, a powerful natural disinfectant that stabilizes the water for safe packaging.
Each filtration stage is connected to real-time sensors that monitor:
- pH balance
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
- Temperature
- Flow rate
If any parameter moves out of range, our system automatically halts production to prevent compromised water from reaching packaging.
3. In-House Laboratory Testing
Ajalisco’s quality control team includes:
- Certified microbiologists
- Food safety officers
- Chemical analysts
Every batch of sachet and bottled water is tested using:
- Turbidity meters
- Coliform presence kits
- pH meters
- AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers) for heavy metal detection
- TDS/conductivity meters
We conduct:
- Daily tests on pH, turbidity, and microbial activity
- Weekly tests for heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic)
- Monthly third-party tests for compliance with NAFDAC and SON standards
4. Staff Expertise and Training
At Ajalisco, quality assurance isn’t just a department — it’s a culture. Our team undergoes:
- Quarterly HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) training
- ISO 22000 food safety management workshops
- Emergency response drills for contamination alerts
- Equipment handling and calibration refreshers every 3 months
We also conduct surprise audits and cross-inspections between departments to minimize human error and ensure transparency.
5. Packaging with Precision
Once water is tested and approved, it flows through fully automated filling lines for:
- Sachet water
- 500ml and 750ml PET bottled water
- 1.5L family-size bottles
Each machine is:
- UV sterilized before each production run
- Temperature-monitored to ensure heat-seal quality
- Batch-coded for traceability (including time, date, and shift)
Our packaging films and PET bottles are food-grade, BPA-free, and certified by Nigeria’s SONCAP (Standards Organization of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Program).
6. Final Product Holding & External Testing
Before leaving our facility:
- Products are held in sanitized storage rooms with temperature and humidity control.
- Batches are randomly selected and sent to NAFDAC-certified laboratories to verify all parameters.
We also maintain a Customer Feedback and Reporting Desk, where any product issue can be traced back to the exact machine, operator, and batch for correction.
