FAQ

General Information

  • Agent Hydrate is a branded water service that helps agents, brokerages, and businesses replace traditional business cards and promotional materials with custom-branded bottled water. Each bottle features your logo, design, and water of choice — combining visibility with sustainability.

  • Unlike typical private-label bottlers, we focus on agents and small businesses, offering smaller minimums, flexible subscriptions, and full branding support — so even individual professionals can access premium custom water marketing.

  • Purified Water – ultra-clean and crisp, typically under 10 ppm TDS.
  • Spring Water – naturally sourced from Palomar Mountain with balanced minerals.
  • Electrolyte Water – purified base enhanced with electrolytes for taste and hydration.
  • Alkaline Water – purified water infused with minerals and adjusted to a pH of 8.0–9.5 for a smoother, softer taste.

Our water comes from two main sources:

  • Municipal supplies, treated and filtered through reverse osmosis and multiple disinfection stages.

  • Palomar Mountain natural springs, a protected source known for clean, mineral-rich spring water.

  • 88% of business cards are thrown away within a week. Branded water bottles are used, kept, and seen daily — turning hydration into long-term brand visibility and client engagement.

Water Quality & Safety

We use a multi-barrier purification system that includes:

    • Carbon, sand, and micron filtration

    • Reverse Osmosis (RO)

    • Dual UV light disinfection

    • Ozonation for final safety and freshness

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measures the mineral content in water, which affects taste and purity levels.

  • Purified Water: <10 ppm — clean and neutral taste

  • Spring Water: 50–120 ppm — naturally mineralized for a balanced flavor

  • Electrolyte & Alkaline Water: 30–55 ppm — varies depending on mineral blend

Yes. Both Alkaline and Electrolyte Water contain mineral blends sourced from approved suppliers to maintain taste consistency and hydration quality.

Every batch undergoes two UV disinfections and ozonation before bottling, ensuring purity and freshness until it reaches your hands.
