With 25% OFF, Here's an opportunity to give it a go
errr
Water comes from Turkey
Saka Water comes from the springs in Hendek, Sakarya, located in the pristine Koroglu Mountain
So, here we are wasting dollars and resources importing plain WATER from Turkey.
I personally find bottled water to be ecologically offensive, and I consider that imported bottled water even more so. So I certainly won't class this as a deal.
SAKA is a Premium Natural Alkaline Mineral Water with an outstanding 8.22pH Alkaline Balance.
Outstanding compared to….. what? A pH 8.22 brings it into the exact range of "normal tap water" that is supplied into cities of Australia. For example, Richmond water treatment plant in Sydney supplies pH between 7.5 and 8.6.
If you actually stupid enough to believe that drinking high pH water is good for you, then simply buy a small packet of "Bicarb Of Soda" and add a little to each glass of normal water (from the tap). Add too much however, and it becomes good for inducing vomiting LOL.
Ilana, So, here we are displaying more ignorance, this is NOT plain water.
It's a shame to hear that something that you can't live without, something that could really make a huge difference to your health you don't see as a deal, but if it was an electronic gadget you'd flock to it. I think you guys are drinking too much fluoride.
Sydney tap water is around 7pH but has hundreds of chemicals in it and many are toxic, including chlorine and fluoride. if you're happy to drink that, good luck to you.
If you think adding Bicarb will make all the difference, you obviously have a lot to learn about water and your health.

Why wouldn't you guys ask good questions and learn about something that we all can't live without, may be you might learn something new or try it and you might even improve your health instead of being such experts by showing ignorance about the subject. why is it always the people that have no idea about something are the negative ones, oh, if you knew the difference you'd already be customers.
We have thousands of customers who 'can't live without this water' but hey, they are all stupid enough to believe that drinking high ph is good for them, so what you're saying is they simply don't know how they feel after drinking this water.
The good thing is, it's guys like you that I like, because I've had so many and when they get on this water, they can't stop talking about it. Cheers
Can live without it? Where do you get off making claims like that?
99.9997% of the people reading this have survived just fine without your water.
(Yes i can make up statistics if you can make crazy claims)
We're compared 1247 brands of water to find the best tasting healthiest water on Earth.
It doesn't matter where it comes from. Most brand here are from the tap and are very acidic.
Look around you, nearly everything is from overseas, your pc, your phone, tv, clothes, cars, a lot of the food, etc.
Whilst it's nice to have the latest gadgets, many people put their health first.
And for your information, people line up for this water and to offer 25% off is actually a big thing for those who understand health and water.
I understand that many of you may not understand the difference in water, and many may think that water is water, but you'll never understand till you drink Saka Water, then you'll know what I mean.
bdl, to say it's a wank you're only displaying your ignorance to something you obviously don't know anything about. If you don't have something nice to say about something why even display that sort of ignorance, Hopefully one day you'll taste Saka and understand.
Would be interested to see what scientific studies you have to back up you claims. You mention people here being ignorant but I want to be educated.
You claim your product "could really make a huge difference to your health." Ok then, on what evidence do you have to support this beyond the fact that obviously humans need water to survive. You can't blame people being skeptical. Every day people are lied to about the effectiveness and benefits of products that will do absolutely nothing for them.
Would also be keen to read through the study on the 1247 different brands of water that was done. See what sort of methodology was used, how results were being determined, etc.
I would love to learn more.
As pughgo asked, where is the science to back up your claims?
Dr. Bob Arnot M.D. “Say no to alkaline water, it”s a scam. Your body is designed to adjust to its optimal pH balance no matter what you ingest. For instance, once alkaline water enters your stomach, your body simply pours in greater amounts of acid to neutralize it.”
Duff5000 that's not true at all.
If you do your research, water doesn't affect your stomach acid. Only food does. water goes straight in your system.
If you want to know more about that, I'm happy to share more.
This idea comes from some medics, however Doctors are only taught 1 lesson about health and nutrition in their 6 years of study. but they sure know a lot about drugs.
And if your body is designed to adjust how come drugs are supposed to work, but the food and water we drink or vitamins have no affect.
The truth is, this water healed my Crohns disease and has helped hundreds of people with their health issues.
I am a bit disappointed with the negative feedback from you guys so far. I am also very disappointed that no one really has discovered the benefits of such water. You guys are missing out!!!
I've been a member of this site for a long time and we all are looking for a bargain, but you guys need to pay more attention to your health and what you put in your bodies.
I really thought I'd be doing you guys a favour by letting you know about this offer. So far there's been 4 orders, I do hope when they get their water and if they are from here they would share their feedback.
I have never, never had anyone say but great things once they try this water.
So instead of wasting so much energy on testing me and my knowledge, which I'm happy to share, maybe you guys should try a case and if your not happy, I'm happy to give you a refund.
You know the law of attraction works whether you believe it or not, so if you are looking for ways to prove to yourself ( and others ) why this water is nothing special, you will probably only find that info. on the other hand if you look for why and how this water can help or make a difference to your health, you will find that out as well. But the simplest way is to try it, you guys think that liquid coming out of your tap is water, it's not, it's a toxic chemical cocktail and you are used to it, your body will love you when you give it the fuel that it was designed to run on, real, pure natural alkaline water, without any chemicals or additives.
This water has also been awarded the highest awards from the International Taste and Quality Institute where over a 1000 brands from around the world compete, Saka has been awarded the highest, 3 years in a row. don't tell me, the 35 sommeliers and experts from around the world are gullible as well :)
Research the brand, ask around, people around Australia buy this every day from health shops, wellness centers, some IGAs, Gyms, etc, and lots of on line orders, EVERYDAY, these people are SMART people, if they couldn't feel a difference they would not re purchase again. So please stop being so negative, this is not a gadget that you can compare by watts, power, etc. you have to taste it and experience it to know.
Guys I love this group, I've bought so many things thanks to your posts and I am really trying to help you guys by showing this offer, take advantage of it, I just offered to refund you if you're not happy!!! if you don't know there is a huge difference in water, maybe it's time to discover that, for me, I learned that when my wife lost her kidneys and I started to research chronic disease, thanks to the scientific and medical industry, they did nothing, they were only interested in treating not healing my wife until her kidney failed.
This water and is something that I'm so passionate about and actually feel I'm doing you a favour. take advantage of it - if you don't want to , there's some great bargains everywhere - Cheers
I appreciate you monitoring and responding to this thread, but you still haven't actually provided any evidence. You say "research the brand" but I can't easily find any scientific evidence so thought I would come straight to the source. Testimonials and anecdotal evidence mean nothing. I want cold hard facts.
I had a look at your website but couldn't find any information or links to the studies you refer to that took place for your claims.
You say "So instead of wasting so much energy on testing me and my knowledge, which I'm happy to share…" But you haven't shown any knowledge or more importantly science based evidence.
I am incredibly happy that you have "healed my Crohns disease", that's fantastic, but please for me personally and maybe other ozbargainers we need a little more than a statement from a company rep to prove your product is worth it.
I, like most people on the planet, would like to think that there is an easy solution to certain life problems but I need proper scientific evidence before spending my hard earned money on relatively expensive (special?) water.
I have no problem spending extra money on stuff that will improve my well-being, and want to keep an open mind, but please show me how and why your product works as describes. Tap water, or even "Homebrand/Black & Gold" bottled water is significantly cheaper than your product. Show me why its worth it.
Please
@Pughgo: There is no evidence for it working, that's why the rep can't provide it. Also saying water doesn't affect your stomach acid is hilarious, the neutralization of alkaline solutions by acid is almost instantaneous, and all you would get from this is a chlorine salt of whatever alkalizing agent was added to the water. I honestly can't believe people believe in this crap.
This water has also been awarded the highest awards from the International Taste and Quality Institute where over a 1000 brands from around the world compete, Saka has been awarded the highest, 3 years in a row.
Tut Tut Tut. One of the problem with mistruths is that somebody will catch you out.
In 2015, the highest "awarded" by the ITQI is the "Diamond" award, and Saka most certainly has NOT been awarded it…
The Diamond Taste Award is granted only to products that have reached 3 Golden stars Superior Taste Award (with a gustatory score over 90%) 7 times over the last 10 years.
I have zero interest in trawling though the list, but Mondariz Still Natural Mineral Water got a Diamond, together with a number of Cola Cola water products. They didn't get a Silver, but I did find Saka in the massive list of Bronze products (which includes many many waters).
Saka wasn't awarded anything in 2014. So they either forgot to enter, or the "product quality" was inferior at that time? Hmmm
However I did find that the product received a Crystal Award back in 2013 for having a high score 3 years in a row. However, that's not really a prize or being "the best" or anything like that, since it's not a "ranking" or "contest" of any form, and 70 to 75% of all (paid) entrant products receive an "award".
The bottom line is that, since the ITQI is a subscription-based service that only judges paying contributors, getting any award from them is kind of like getting a prize at the special olympics… Everyone who competes is a winner!

@Pughgo: Certainly, I'm glad you want to know more.
Not sure where to start, maybe a little about the pH scale and why it is important to know about the acid/alkaline difference.
The “alkaline” in alkaline water refers to its pH level. The pH level is a number that measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0-14. For example, something with a pH of 1 would be very acidic, and something with a pH of 13 would be very alkaline.
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, alkaline water can neutralize the acid in your body. Normal drinking water is generally a neutral pH of 7. Most regular bottled water brands are around the 5pH. Alkaline water generally has a pH of 8 or 9.
Natural or Artificial?
Water that is naturally alkaline occurs when water passes over rocks – like springs – and picks up minerals, which increase its alkaline level.
A study published by the World Health Organization cautions against drinking low-mineral content water on a regular basis. These are labeled as purified, distilled, etc.
Does it work?
There's been a lot of studies, For example, a 2012 study found that drinking alkaline water with a pH of 8.8 can help deactivate pepsin, which is the main enzyme that causes acid reflux. Another study suggested that drinking alkaline water may have benefits for people who suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19527469
http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eat…
A study in the 2001 issue of "Shanghai Journal of Protective Medicine" found drinking alkaline water for 3 to 6 months lowered cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure levels in participants.
Another study in the July 2012 edition of "Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology" titled "Potential Benefits of pH 8.8 Alkaline Drinking Water as an Adjunct in the Treatment of Reflux Disease" found that water with a pH of 8.8 effectively neutralized stomach acid and pepsin, making it a possible treatment for acid reflux.
In France, researchers followed the health of 3,777 elderly people between 1988-2004 in rural areas known for their high aluminum or silica content in the drinking water. The study was published in 2009 in the "American Journal of Epidemiology" as "Aluminum and silica in drinking water and the risk of Alzheimer's disease or cognitive decline," and one of the findings was that silica in drinking water (10 mg/day) was associated with a reduced risk of dementia and cognitive decline.
A 2010 study published in "The Journal of the International Society of Sports Medicine," titled "Acid-base balance and hydration status following consumption of mineral-based alkaline bottled water" concluded that their test subjects who drank alkaline water showed an improved acid-base balance and hydration status compared to tap water.
You can simply google for more research as much as you want but for me, I don't believe anything unless I tried it myself, so I was the biggest skeptic first myself, but it certainly changed my life.
So what does it do?
Alkaline Water effectively balances the pH levels in the body, the body tires to naturally maintain the acid/alkaline balance of the blood, but when your body is overly acidic, your system has to work even harder to keep the balance. That can in turn cause stress in other areas, when your body becomes too acidic, it can interfere with the activity of all the cells in your body.
Saka Alkaline water has absorbs much better than ordinary water, so the body can be hydrated more effectively than by drinking tap or regular brand bottled water.
The number one enemy to health is acid. Saka alkaline water has the ability to wash away toxins that may cause your body to develop disease and illnesses. Many detox programs recommend alkaline water because of their effectiveness against acid and toxins.
If you're trying to detox what is the purpose of detoxing when you are drinking a couple of litres of water full of toxin from your tap, it doesn't make sense. you'd want as pure water as you can..
The other benefit is it helps to boost your immune system by neutralizing the free radicals and helping to cleanse your body of toxins.
Another great benefit of Saka water is it helps to lose weight and I have many customers who've experienced this. because today's diets mainly consist of acidic food (junk food, sift drinks, energy drink, sports drinks) which increases the acid in the body, as a result the body creates more fat cells to neutralize the acid and toxins. this results in unwanted weight gain.
Alkaline water naturally neutralizes the acids in the body. so when the acid is neutralized and toxins are flushed there is no need for the body to hold on the fat cells.
Another thing is, today, they say 1 in 2 men get cancer and 1 in 3 women. it is believed that cancer thrives in an acidic environment do since alkaline water helps to neutralize the acid in the body and your body is roughly 70% water, it would only be wise to make sure you are drinking alkaline water to help maintain those levels.

Dr Theodore Baroody released a study about alkaline water where is says there is an important relationship between sugar intake and alkaline water. IN his book, alkalize or Die.
He says " The pancreas, is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet, it produces alkaline digestive enzymes and sodium bicarbonate. All aspect of pancreatic function reduces excess acidity. The pancreas also regulates blood sugar balance which creates energy in the body. Thus, to have proper blood sugar balance, maintain a primarily alkaline forming diet."
In Japan, Dr, Keijiro Kuwabara has been treating diabetics using alkaline water for years now, He says that enev just a month of drinking alkaline water could significantly help bring sugar at an undetectable level. All these studies from various parts of the world help prove that bringing sugar levels is one of the many alkaline water benefits.
You can also research Dr Robert Young who explains the science and benefits of alkaline water further and deeper.
Mind you, we have so many naturopaths who drink Saka Water and recommend it, actually a lot of our customers come from naturpaths.
I hope I've answered some of your questions, but like I said before. the liquid that is coming out of your tap is not what your body is designed for. your body wants pure healthy living water.
With food or water, unfortunately it's hard to 'show' you why it's worth it, I can list more studies, more links, more information but seriously, it's not like you're going to spend thousands, everyday we sell thousands of bottles at the normal price without a problem and we have the most loyal customers any business would dream of, so at this bargain wholesale price, I thought everyone here would jump at it, but everyone is trying to give me a hard time, really the company is not desperate for more business, but I thought I would share the huge discount with the members here so they can get the benefits as well.
Let me know if you need more info…
@llama: Saka participated in 2011, 2012 and 2013 where it was awarded 3 stars which is the highest award you can get. and in 2013 it was also awarded the Crystal Award.
So show me what award your water has had…..
Let me know if you need more info
Not for me - that's plenty.
You probably should read my post below and consider editing (and your website) to remove false or misleading claims, just in case somebody cares enough to report it all to the ACCC.
It's nothing personal… I generally hate ALL bottled water sellers equally. However those that make claims of medical benefits… now, THAT is just immoral.
it was awarded 3 stars which is the highest award you can get
Errr…nope. The highest "awarded" by the ITQI is the Diamnond, as I have already posted above…
This link will take you back to where I explained the ITQI for you @llama:
So show me what award your water has had…..
I'll try to remember to post up a photo of my Totally Take The Piss award, which is awarded anally by the Australian Institute of Unrinary Toxicity.
Please note that, except during special occasions, no blind tasting is involved… for the past 8 years they've just take my word for it, based on the verbosity and sincerity of my claims about the product and it's numerous chemical attributes.
There are a number of Peruvian studies about the benefits of our 'special juice' (as we call it in the trade), I also found this online: http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_there_llama_urine_in_Mountain_De…
@llama: 3 star is diamond.
1 star is silver
2 stars is gold
3 is diamond
Saka got 3 stars in the 3 years it participated in and also got the Crystal award as well in 2013.
There's no need to keep going into the competition as it's already proven what sort of quality it is and where it stands.
Alkaline water is a scam for gullible people and should not be advertised on this site
The OP should bring themseves up to speed with their own product, as well as the relevant Australian Laws. The ACCC sums it up nicely:
Businesses are not allowed to make statements that are incorrect or likely to create a false impression.
This rule applies to their advertising, their product packaging, and any information provided to you by their staff or online shopping services.It also applies to any statements made by businesses in the media or online, such as testimonials on their websites or social media pages.
https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/misleading-claims-advertis…
Excellent general info on Wikipedia too, about the general concepts involved…
Ilana, what claim, I've read the word, 'claim. so many times by some of the comments.
This is simply a Natural Alkaline Mineral Water, if you know what that is and know the benefits, take advantage of the deal, if not, no problems.
If this offer is in a heath group they would be jumping at it, I'm quite disappointed in some the responses here as if everyone IS the expert in this and they know more about alkaline water than me, if you guys do, please tell me, enlighten me with your knowledge, tell me why it's a scam or why it's for the gullible, etc. when I've been in the health business for over 25 years and I deal with these things everyday and I have thousands of customers around the country who love this water. I must have missed something here, I'm trying to offer you something good to benefit from and you guys instead on taking advantage of skipping you guys want to bite me…woof woof - relax
Ilana, what claim, I've read the word, 'claim. so many times by some of the comments
You cannot make claims of health benefits from this product. It is water, often referrred to as "wet stuff".
This is simply a Natural Alkaline Mineral Water, if you know what that is and know the benefits, take advantage of the deal, if not, no problems.
That's fine, I have no problem with you saying that. Although you could more accurately describe it…
"This is simply water…"
Once again, my posts are nothing personal but I find bottled water abhorrant. If I am paying for something to drink that comes in a bottle, then the LESS water in it the better!
What claim? You really dont think you have made any?
this is NOT plain water.
It's a shame to hear that something that you can't live without, something that could really make a huge difference to your health you don't see as a deal, but if it was an electronic gadget you'd flock to it. I think you guys are drinking too much fluoride.
1: this isn't plain water.
2: you cant live without this
3: it could make a huge difference to your health.
4: water doesn't affect your stomach acid. Only food does. water goes straight in your system.
There are 4 for you right there. I wonder what the ACCC would think of businesses making claims like that?
I'm confused. Are you suggesting this is a site for gullible people?
Importing water is f***ing ridiculous! We should not be supporting this in these forums.
I have a water filter that I bought purely for its removal of chorine but also happens to "alkalise" water - I think it's a farce personally - but if you're into that than it's a way better option than this.
I'm sorry to tell you that your filter will never ever taste or be as pure as this water, there is no filter on Earth but Earth itself can produce water like Saka.
So while you are 'trying' to do the right thing and avoid some of the nasties in your tap water, you are still far away from this kind of water. besides the toxic chemicals, viruses, bacteria etc, in tap water there's a vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones, chemo, etc. also, most water filters act as great breeding ground for bacteria.
And wouldn't it be better to leave and preserve our water for our our future generations and drink someone else's water instead. I think it's smarter especially if the water is so much better than what we have.
So I don't know why you're swearing and carrying on when obviously there is a huge need for perfect water as Saka, sure it might not be for everyone, but sooner or later, people will give their health more priority and will look into Saka Water.
It's amazing how people react and carry on about something when they haven't even tried the product yet.
there is no filter on Earth but Earth itself can produce water like Saka.
WTF? You just said you haven't been making claims then come out with that? Pure water is certainly something that people can create.
By definition pure water is neutral. Alkalised water is not neutral and hence cant be claimed as being pure.
depends on your use of 'pure'.
what I'm saying is 'pure' water that never has had any chemicals, toxins, additives, drugs, etc added to it.
It is created by nature and will only have it's natural minerals.
You're talking about 'purified' water that has been depleted of everything, this type of water is man made and is acidic and doesn't absorb well into your body, oops, that's another claim by your understanding… Cheers
Pure has a meaning, you cant just make up your own definition. Pure water has no minerals, chemicals or anything else in it. Your product isnt pure water.
oops, that's another claim by your understanding
That doesn't even make sense. Feel free to keep digging your hole.
EDIT: See how it is called "Natural water" or "natural mineral water" NOT pure water? There is a difference.
wank
