Quality Matters: Our Multi‑Stage Testing Protocol for Sachet and Bottled Water

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 testingmodern 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-gradeBPA-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.
