‘Clearer Water’ was established in 2016 and is a unique local, ethical brand of bottled spring water. The brand focuses on providing paid employment for adults with disabilities.

The water has a great mineral content and with a pH 7.8 is a naturally alkaline water. Clearer Water falls on the County Antrim Limestone Plateau and filters its way through 3 limestone aquifers before its drawn out from a depth of 150 feet below the surface. It is ‘Water in a Bottle’ but it’s not about the water!

Each Clearer Water bottle has a unique ‘Trace Code’ – when a customer puts the code into the Clearer website they find out not just about ‘the product’ (mineral content, pH at source, weather conditions, temperature on extraction etc.) but also about ‘the person’ that bottled the actual bottle in their hand. That way the consumer gets to find out about the individual they have helped to support in employment by the decision to purchase ‘Clearer Water’.

Currently there are 10 young adults working in the bottling plant and of the 10, 8 have some form of disability or mental health problem.
