Cool Wave makes purified alkaline water ionized to 9.5 pH, offering hydration for homes and businesses in recyclable PET bottles and aluminum packaging. Founded during the early development of alkaline-water standards, its founders worked closely with the FDA in 2011 to help establish the category’s standard of identity. The company says its bottled water exceeds FDA requirements and is certified under SQF Level 3 and International Bottled Water Association programs.

• Pahhni Premium Alkaline WaterFounded in Hamilton, Ohio, in January 2021 by Dr. Satinder Bharaj and Erik Loomis, Pahhni Premium Alkaline Water bottles high-pH water sourced from the Great Miami Valley aquifer. Its naturally occurring alkalinity comes from limestone filtration rather than ionization, a process the founders developed to preserve the water’s crisp taste. The family-owned company also uses recyclable bottles and directs a portion of proceeds toward ocean conservation while supporting Greater Cincinnati communities.HAMILTON, OH
