NATO MEETING IN HELSINGBORG

In connection with the NATO meeting in Helsingborg, preparedness and supply resilience have received increased attention. Aqua Nobel participated in a business dialogue ahead of the meeting, where the importance of turning preparedness plans into practical solutions was highlighted, particularly with regard to access to drinking water.

The discussion focused on supply preparedness and how access to drinking water can be secured during societal disruptions.

Pure spring water of the highest quality

Aqua Nobel’s water is bottled directly from our spring in Mörarp, located 105 metres below ground. The water is naturally filtered through deep geological layers that contribute to its exceptional purity and quality. Thick rock formations protect the source from contaminants such as fertilisers, pesticides and PFAS, ensuring safe, high-quality drinking water.

The spring has a high production capacity, enabling large volumes of water to be bottled and delivered quickly and efficiently. Our advanced filling system ensures that the water is handled without contamination.

EMERGENCY WATER SOLUTIONS FOR SECURE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY DURING CRISES AND DISRUPTIONS

hållbar beredskap

Anytime. Anywhere

Aqua Nobel has developed a range of emergency water solutions designed to ensure access to safe drinking water, even under the most challenging circumstances. We offer flexible and reliable services that help secure water supply in any situation.

Our solutions are designed for both public and private organisations and include WaaS (Water as a Service) subscriptions, Water On Demand, and direct purchases.

Preparedness solutions for a secure drinking water supply

Before a permanent solution is established, there is a need for a temporary solution to ensure access to clean drinking water. This is where Aqua Nobel’s products and services come in.

Today, we offer two service models: “WaaS subscription” and “On Demand”.
Water can also be purchased directly via retailers such as 24HMeal and Martin & Servera, through framework agreements with ADDA, or in our own webshop.

WHAT DOES GOOD WATER PREPAREDNESS MEAN?

During a crisis, the regular drinking water supply may be interrupted. It is therefore important to have access to emergency drinking water that can meet demand until normal supply is restored.

Good water preparedness is not just about having plans in place. It is about ensuring actual access to safe drinking water when it is needed most. For municipalities, businesses and critical operations, access to water can be vital to maintaining operations during the first critical days of a disruption.

By strengthening water preparedness, the consequences of disruptions can be reduced while essential services continue to operate.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRINKING WATER PREPAREDNESS?

  • Municipalities are responsible for planning and managing local drinking water supplies, including during disruptions and crisis situations.
  • Private individuals are encouraged to maintain basic emergency preparedness, including sufficient drinking water for the first few days.
  • The Swedish Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket) provides guidance and support on drinking water, emergency water planning and water supply issues.
  • The Swedish Civil Defence Agency (MCF) supports and coordinates work related to civil preparedness and total defence.

Recommended minimum: 3 litres
Recommended preparedness level: at least 72 hours (3 days)

HOW MUCH WATER IS NEEDED?

In the event of a crisis or water supply disruption, planning for at least three litres of drinking water per person per day is recommended. Requirements vary between organisations, but calculating water demand is an important part of a robust preparedness strategy.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING FOR RELIABLE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

At Aqua Nobel, we carefully select our packaging with both sustainability and preparedness in mind. Our packaging is designed to be durable and logistically efficient, making it ideal for both storage and transportation.

Our spring water is packaged in 500 ml Tetra Pak Prisma® cartons, which offer several advantages over PET bottles and aluminium cans. The packaging is recyclable, UV-resistant, heat-resistant and stackable. A freezer-compatible version is also available for specialised applications. In addition, we have recently established a Bag-in-Box production line.

Each tray contains 12 cartons of 500 ml. One pallet holds 96 cartons, corresponding to 48 litres of safe drinking water with up to five years of shelf life.

AQUA NOBEL AT THE FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRIES SEMINAR ON PREPAREDNESS

At the Swedish Food and Drink Industries seminar Food and Preparedness in Stockholm, Aqua Nobel CEO Pontus Klenell participated in a discussion on water and security of supply.

The discussion highlighted how water preparedness is receiving increased political attention, while emphasising the continued need for practical measures and concrete solutions.

AQUA NOBEL FEATURED ON THE TRYGGHETSPODDEN PODCAST

Aqua Nobel and former military officer Rickard Thörn joined Trygghetspodden to discuss preparedness, with a particular focus on water preparedness.

The conversation highlighted the importance of having a plan for access to safe drinking water during crisis situations and how individuals and organisations can prepare for future challenges.

NO DETECTABLE PFAS ACCORDING TO ANALYSIS REPORT

PFAS is a group of chemicals commonly used in industrial products because of their water- and stain-resistant properties. However, they are harmful to both the environment and human health.

PFAS contamination has been detected in drinking water in several locations across Sweden, including Ronneby, Uppsala and Halmstad, where historical industrial activities and firefighting training sites have affected groundwater quality.

According to a Eurofins analysis report dated 21 August 2024, values for PAH, PFAS and THM in Aqua Nobel’s spring water were below detection limits, indicating that the water is safe for consumption.

The depth of the spring and the surrounding geological formations help protect the groundwater from external contamination.

WATER WITH UP TO FIVE YEARS OF SHELF LIFE

Maintaining a strategic reserve of drinking water helps reduce risks, increase resilience during disruptions and secure a stable water supply when it is needed most.

Aqua Nobel provides drinking water with a shelf life of up to five years, packaged in environmentally friendly 500 ml Tetra Pak Prisma® cartons, specifically developed for long-term storage and emergency preparedness purposes.

Why should I buy emergency water?

In a crisis, the regular water system may be disrupted, or the water may temporarily become unfit to drink due to contamination. Emergency water is a temporary solution until the regular water supply is restored.

What is emergency water?

Emergency water is a type of water reserve that serves as drinking water when the regular water supply is either cut off or undrinkable, for example, due to contamination. Emergency water is available in ways other than through the tap, such as packaged water or in large water tanks. Emergency water is not a substitute for regular tap water; it is a complement.

Varför erbjuder Aqua Nobel nödvatten?

Aqua Nobel hjälper kommuner att gå från plan till faktisk beredskap genom att säkerställa ett fysikt lager – utan driftansvar. Ingen aktör kan ensam lösa vattenförsörjningen vid en kris. En starkare nationell beredskap kräver samverkan mellan näringslivet och offentliga aktörer och Aqua Nobel vill bidra med kunskap, produkter och tjänster som stärker vattenberedskapen.  Dricksvatten är en kritisk tillgång i en kris och vi som har en stor och säker vattenkälla tar vårt ansvar genom att ge möjligheten att gå från plan till faktisk tillgång av nödvatten.

Försöker Aqua Nobel inte bara tjäna pengar på att skapa oro i en fråga där kommunerna har enklare lösningar?

Många kommuner har ingen nödvattenplan. Men ännu fler saknar säkerställd fysisk tillgång till dricksvatten när det verkligen behövs och en vanlig lösning utgår från att personal själva fyller flaskor och dunkar som ska täcka de första dygnen. För att kunna gå från plan till faktisk tillgång behöver många aktörer och tekniker samverka – VA-bolag, filtertillverkare, avsaltningsanläggningar och företag med källor som Aqua Nobel. Vi är en del av lösningen, inte ett ensamt alternativ. Vad som gör källvatten så unikt är att det inte är beroende av vattenledningar för att nå sin slutdestination, och vi tar vårt ansvar genom att bidra med kunskap, produkter och tjänster som stärker vattenberedskapen. Genom vårt avtal med Försvarsmakten, en vunnen offentlig upphandling via Livsmedelsverket och etablerade produkter och tjänster för nödvatten är Aqua Nobel väl rustat för att bli en strategisk partner för kommunal och regional beredskap.

In what types of crises is emergency water needed?

Some crises where regular water supply can be disrupted include natural disasters, pandemics, cyber-attacks, leaks, and war. Additionally, drinking water may become contaminated, rendering tap water unfit for consumption.

What are my responsibilities as a buyer of emergency water?

In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for ensuring the drinking water supply to their citizens in the event of a crisis. If the regular water supply is disrupted, the municipality must provide access to drinking water through alternative means.

There is water in the tap, so why should we buy Aqua Nobel?

Aqua Nobel’s emergency water is not meant to replace tap water; it is a compliment. In times of crisis, when the regular water supply is disrupted due to a situation or contamination, there must be immediate access to water. Having an emergency water stockpile reduces vulnerability to potential disruptions.

Why can't we rely on VAKA and their water tanks?

An emergency water supply can be used immediately when the regular water supply is unusable, while VAKA is a reinforcement resource that is delivered after a crisis has occurred.

Det finns många andra lösningar kring nödvatten, varför ska man välja just källvatten?

För att höja beredskapen och gå från plan till faktisk tillgång behöver många aktörer och tekniker samverka – VA-bolag, filtertillverkare, avsaltningslösningar och företag med källor som Aqua Nobel. En mix av möjliga åtgärder ökar tryggheten och minskar sårbarheten. Kranvatten är beroende av el, kemikalier och infrastruktur – ett fysiskt lager av Aqua Nobels nödvatten fungerar oberoende av dessa system. Aqua Nobels förpackningar är utformade för att vara logistiskt effektiva och hållbara, vilket gör dem idealiska för både lagring och transport. Vårt källvatten förpackas i 500 ml Tetra Pak Prisma, som har flera fördelar jämfört med PET-flaskor eller aluminiumburkar. Förutom att den är UV-resistent, frysbar, eldbar, nedbrytbar, värmetålig och stapelbar är den också mer hållbar ur ett miljöhänseende. Vi har också en linje för att producera vatten i bag in box.

Can you customise deliveries to meet our specific needs?

We offer two different solutions that can be tailored to specific needs:
Water as a Service, a complete solution for emergency water storage at the customer’s location, provided at a fixed monthly cost.
Water on Demand, where the customer receives water delivered from Aqua Nobel within 24 hours of request without needing to maintain storage.

You can read more about these two options here .
Contact victor.svensson@aquanobel.se to see how we can develop a solution that works for you.

What is included in the WaaS (Water as a Service) service?

WaaS Subscription is a complete solution for emergency water storage at the customer’s site at a fixed monthly cost. Aqua Nobel is responsible for replenishing the stock with fresh water when it approaches its best-before date, ensuring continuous access to clean drinking water.

Hur funkar Water on Demand?

Det är ett rent köp. Med Water on Demand får kunden vatten levererat från Aqua Nobel inom 24 timmar efter avrop, utan att behöva hålla ett lager. Det ger trygghet och minskad sårbarhet.

How quickly can you deliver emergency water in a crisis?

We work with various logistics partners to ensure water can be delivered even during a crisis. We provide emergency water to you and utilise emergency stockpiling to replace your water quickly during a crisis.

What volumes can you deliver at short notice?

We offer two subscription services:
Water as a Service, where the water is stored at the customer’s location.
Water on Demand, where the customer requests up to the agreed amount.
We offer these services across Sweden.
Water can also be ordered on our website.

How do you ensure the quality of the emergency water?

Aqua Nobel’s water comes from our source in Mörarp. Unlike municipal water, which often comes from surface water, our water comes from a 105-metre-deep source. We conduct regular tests to ensure the quality and purity of the water.

På vilket sätt är er källa skyddad mot sabotage och föroreningar?

Aqua Nobels vatten kommer från en 105 meter djup källa, att jämföra med kommunalt vatten som ofta produceras av ytvatten. Tjocka bergslager skyddar källan från kontaminering och ger en naturlig filtrering under lång tid genom många geologiska lager. Resultatet är ett vatten med enastående renhet, vilket gör att vi kan sälja det direkt utan tillsats av kemikalier eller ytterligare reningssteg och därmed leverera en trygg lösning de första kritiska dygnen av en kris. Vår källa är skyddad mot sabotage, exakt hur går vi inte in på av säkerhetsskäl, men vi uppfyller Försvarsmaktens tuffa krav i ramavtalet.

How often should we rotate our emergency water stock?

Aqua Nobel’s water has a shelf life of 5 years compared to water in PET bottles or containers, which needs replacement every six months.

How do you ensure deliveries in the event of a crisis?

How deliveries are ensured depends on the crisis affecting the water supply. In most crises, we can deliver water as usual with the help of our logistics partners. In case of war, we will work with the Armed Forces and authorities to ensure water supply to municipalities.
