I first bought Aquapax at a Music Festival years ago and couldn't believe how refreshing it tasted - I've been buying it ever since from Waitrose, but now it's great to be able to buy online. The finest quality water!

The Aquapax Story
2006
The World's 1st Carton Water
In 2006, inspired by his love for the ocean and a growing concern over plastic pollution, Neil Tomlinson founded Aquapax. With a vision to create a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional bottled water, he set out to provide pure, responsibly packaged hydration. Aquapax became the first brand to offer spring water in wholly recyclable cartons, pioneering a movement toward sustainability in the beverage industry.
2008
Aquapax wins Best Bottled Water
In 2008, Aquapax was honored with the internationally prestigious QATRAH Award for 'Best Bottled Water.' This esteemed recognition highlighted Aquapax as a world leading brand, pioneering a new category within the bottled water industry.
2010
Aquapax Joins Forces With Selfridges
Aquapax made history by becoming the first eco-water brand to be sold at Selfridges, leading the charge in eliminating plastic water bottles. In response to growing environmental concerns, the iconic London department store banned single-use plastic bottles in its food court. This bold move addresses the alarming statistic that the average Londoner buys three plastic bottles per week, positioning Aquapax as a front-runner in the battle against plastic waste.
2011
Ditch The Plastic
In 2011, Aquapax coined the term "Ditch the Plastic," sparking a global movement towards sustainable water packaging. This call to action inspired others to follow suit, but Aquapax maintained its edge by prioritising water quality as its core differentiator, even as competition in the category grew.
2019
The National Skateboarding Championships
In 2021, Aquapax proudly sponsored the Skateboard GB x Habito National Championships, held at Graystone Action Sports Academy in Manchester. The event was a key Olympic qualifier, with 32 top UK skateboarders competing for qualification points and £7,000 in prizes. Aquapax provided sustainable hydration for the athletes, supporting their performance with pure, eco-friendly water. The competition was broadcast live on BBC Sport, showcasing some of the UK’s most talented skateboarders.
2020
Quality Food Awards Winner
In 2020, Aquapax won the prestigious ‘Best Water’ award at the Quality Food Awards UK, recognized for its outstanding taste, eco-credentials, and design. The brand was also named a finalist in the Global Water Drinks Awards, further solidifying its position as a leader in sustainable hydration and quality.
