Sairme (water) | |
Sairme waters (“საირმე” in Georgian language, procounced "sa'eer-meh") are natural mineral waters assigned for table and medical-therapeutic purposes. The sources of water are located in the territory of Baghdadi municipality, in Tsablarastskali river gorge (the left feeder of Khanistskali river) near the resort of Sairme.
History
The first sources about water Sairme
The first mention of the waters Sairme was found in the sources of the late XIX century. According to popular legends among the people, brothers –- the hunters who were pursuing the trail of a wounded deer found water Sairme. Water flowed over the stones red with oxide, and all around it was white with salt. Deer came here alternately for salt and water. They called the water Sairme just because of their number (the origin of the name comes from the Georgian word ირემი, which in translation means "deer").
Shepherds also paid attention to this area because of the amazing events. They noticed that in a place that was at a distance of about 3 km from the source of deer, grass was steady green, the snows never lie, and the earth was already dry in a few minutes after the rain. The veil of mystery of a magic glade was filmed in XX century when geologists discovered hot mineral water in the land.
The first attempt of a scientific study of water Sairme is associated with the name of Baghdad doctor Kelenderadze. In 1912 while being still a student, he took a sample for analysis to St. Petersburg. The first chemical analysis of mineral water was held by professors of Petersburg Military Academy. They were vividly interested with a sample sent from the possession of Eristavi in Petersburg. In subsequent years Latvian scientist, Robert Kuptsis studied the mineral waters Sairme. On the orders of Emperor Nicholas II he studied mineral waters of the Caucasus, particularly Georgia.
Bottling and production
The use of Sairme water began in 1893. Mineral water was mainly poured predominantly in the barn, where it was brought by horses. For the first time they began to pour the water on the factory rules in 1945. In 1954 the construction of the plant was completed. Since that time 400,000 no treated water in liter bottles were released. Later the plant was equipped with a water production system, which changed little by little and become more modernized.
During the collapse of the Soviet Union and the introduction of the socialist system the work of the plant was stopped.
Since 1998, after the privatization, they began a modernization of the plant and care for the return of the popularity and their consumers; the interior and facade of the building was updated.
Since 2010 there have been significant changes in the factory Sairme: a complete re-inventory was made; a mineral water bottling mechanism has changed; the plant was equipped with automated manufacturing facilities and computer technology. The laboratory was completely renovated and water quality is regularly tested there, the process of casting a bottle is also strictly controlled.
Sources of Sairme
Sairme flows in several streams/water well in the resort and nearby territories. They differ from one another in their chemical composition and healing properties.
Currently two types of water are bottled:
- Sparkling mineral medical-table water "Sairme" - (glass -0.5 L 0.3 L; PET- 0.5 L, l L, 2 L)
- Natural drinking non-carbonated (still) water "Springs of Sairme" - (glass -0.5 L; PET- 0.5 L, 1,5 L)
Healing properties of Sairme
Sparkling mineral water "Sairme" is characterized by a low degree of mineralization. Carbonated mineral water is designed to regulate changes in metabolism.The product is rich in calcium bicarbonate, which strengthens the skeletal system and helps to stop the inflammatory process.Carbonated mineral water is used for restoring the function of the liver, urinary tract, kidney and gastrointestinal tract. It promotes the breakdown of harmful substances formed as a result of metabolism.
Sairme Springs – (not carbonated) is used in medical procedures as well as in cosmetology.
Water features
The massive deposits of tufa are located in the filed which creates the basis for anticline Sairme. Water mineralization changes from 1.6 g/L (≃ 1.6 oz/cu ft) (borehole in Namarniskhevi at a distance of 400 m (1,312 ft) from the central sources) to 9.5 g/L (≃ 9.5 oz/cu ft) (borehole #4). The output of the spring is variable. This source is also the basis for the operation of the resort Sairme for prophylaxis and a wide range of diseases treatment purposes.
