A. General Information
The Mckee Aqua Purified Refilling Station - Water Refilling Station is owned and
managed by Mr. Mark Anthony Mansueto Bayya. It is located at Tumbras, Midsayap,
North Cotabato. It is established to produce potable drinking water for commercial
purposes. The water to be produced by the establishment will be in 20-liter containers.
The product water is intended to be sold to clients within Midsayap and the
neighbouring areas. The source of raw water is the community water system which
produces safe water. The quantity of the raw water supply is adequate for the purpose
but the quality of the water is tested further to ensure that no contaminant enters the
piping system and it conforms to the minimum requirements set by the Philippine
National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW). The water is purified using the standard
multi-stage purification process.
The raw water taken from the community water system is made to enter a storage
tank and fed into the filtration machines. The water then passes thru multi-media silica
and carbon progression to remove foul taste and odour, discoloration, chlorine,
hydrogen sulphide and other remaining contaminants. It passes thru softening and
conditioning process using brine to convert hard water into soft water and remove
chemicals and pesticides. In this stage, the pH of the water is increased. The next unit is
a sediment depth filtration system consisting of two polishing carbon block filters and
one 1-micron cartridge type sediment filter which removes any microscopic particle that
might clog succeeding Reverse Osmosis membrane.
The next stage is the Reverse Osmosis System which utilizes a high quality semi-permeable
membrane that allows only pure water molecules to pass through and pushes the impure
water to the reverse side which is the reject drain line. It has a micron rating of 0.0001 ppm
and eliminates 98% total dissolved solids (TDS) and dissolved minerals. Product water now
goes to the holding tank.

From the holding tank, the water is made to pass thru a 5 micron post filter and a 1 micron
post filter where-in sediments up to 1 micron are removed. Finally, water is subjected to
sterilization process by means of ultra-violet radiation which systematically destroys the
capability of harmful microorganisms. The purified product water is now safe to drink.
In order to ensure the safety of the product water that conforms to the criteria
stipulated in the PNSDW, an analysis of the hazards and the critical control points where
contaminants may enter the water purification system is conducted. Attached is a plan
summarizing the areas of operation and the hazards critical control points with corresponding
monitoring system and corrective actions that may be instituted in the water purification
system.
