Pure spring water, from the Cape for the Cape

About Us

Who we are

Cape Aqua was founded in 2005 by the Du Plessis Family. They had recently sold off their enormously successful juice company called Quali-Juice and were looking to enter the then still new water market at the time.

They brought to the market great innovation in terms of their bottle shape and innovative flavoured water varieties. Initially they outsourced their natural Still and Sparkling Spring Water and produced their flavoured water in-house at their facility in the Strand.

In 2012 they went into partnership with the present owner Richard Whitehead who brought with him a number of prestigious packing contracts and the brand name Hydr8 that enabled them to then set up their own Still Spring Water factory albeit on a source rented in Franschhoek. In 2014 Richard then acquired 100% of the business.

Cape Aqua now own their very own source in the picturesque Ceres Valley where they have a state of the art Bottling plant. Their water is rated as one of the purest on the market and is renowned for its crisp taste due to its incredibly low natural TDS of just 19. The factory complies with world class standards in terms of the bottling of natural source water.

Cape Aqua is now firmly entrenched in the community of Ceres and the Prince Alfred Hamlet. All staff who work there are local so they contribute significantly to the local economy.

Cape Aqua also has a factory in the Strand, where they produce their flavoured water range.

Cape Aqua continues to this day to pack not only its own brands of Cape Aqua and Hydr8 but also for a number of prestigious clients with their Private Labels. We are extremely proud to have been entrusted by them to produce for them.

Cape Aqua is proud of its heritage and is proudly from the Cape. As their pay off line says… Cape Aqua from the Cape for the Cape.

Cape Aqua Still

Our Still Spring Water is bottled from our source at the foot of the Hugo Mountain Range in the pristine Ceres Valley. The natural mineral composition gives a very low TDS of just 19 making it as close to pure as you can get. Crisp has never tasted so good.

Cape Aqua Sparkling

Our Sparkling Water is ultra-filtered to ensure only the purest water is bottled. A light sparkle to refresh you or compliment your favourite tipple especially if served ice cold.

HYDR8

Our Hydr8 Still Spring Water is bottled from our source at the foot of the Hugo Mountain Range in the pristine Ceres Valley. The natural mineral composition gives a very low TDS of just 19 making it as close to pure as you can get. Crisp has never tasted so good.

Cape Aqua Flavoured

We have a delicious range of 7 flavours in our value added 600ml bottle. Our refreshing low kilojoule recipes deliver maximum taste with minimum waist. Served on their own or as a mixer, they are just what your taste buds craze.
