Bonaqua is amineralizedbottled water brand sold inHong Kong owned byThe Coca-Cola Company andSwire Coca-Cola HK.[1] It is one of themany brands of Coca-Cola bottled water. The term "Bonaqua" stands for "Good water" inLatin ("bona aqua" is read "bonaqua" in Latin because of synaloepha or elision.

Minerals likemagnesium sulphate,potassium chloride andsodium chloride are claimed to be added after the filtration process.[3]
