PRESTON, Wash., Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Talking Rain Beverage Company, the maker of Sparkling Ice® announced today the launch of Talking Rain Essentials™ Hydration, a new functional water in its family of diverse "better for you" beverages. Available starting October 2020, this new member of the Talking Rain Essentials family is an alkaline water centered on keeping consumers balanced and staying hydrated.

As part of the Talking Rain Essentials portfolio, the enhanced water brand launched by Talking Rain earlier in 2020, Essentials Hydration is carefully crafted with a 9.5pH level and minerals and electrolytes for taste, offered in a convenient one liter bottle.

"We could not be more thrilled to finally introduce Talking Rain Essentials Hydration to our roster of beverages and be aligned with a fantastic partner to give back to our communities," said Chris Hall, CEO of Talking Rain. "With the rise in demand for alkaline waters on the market, we're confident that consumers who are looking for the perfect balance of pH levels will appreciate the quality and taste of Essentials Hydration."

To support the sustainability and access of clean water around the world, Talking Rain is partnering with Waterboys, an initiative founded by former professional football player, Chris Long, focused on providing clean, accessible drinking water to communities in need. Through this partnership, Talking Rain has pledged to donate $0.20 for every Talking Rain Essentials Hydration 12-pack case purchased to support the charity.

"We are thrilled to add Talking Rain Essential Hydration to the Waterboys family," said Chris Long, founder of The Chris Long Foundation. "This partnership allows us to reach two critical goals of our mission; raise vital funds to save lives and transform communities and spread awareness about the global clean water crisis."

Mr. Long continued, "Waterboys is founded on the principle of uniting athletes, fans, and businesses together to provide clean water to people in desperate need. This partnership is truly our mission at work, allowing fans to get in the game and change lives by purchasing Talking Rain Essentials Hydration water. We are proud to work with Talking Rain and their proven track record of bettering communities and helping people. Together, we will address the needs of 2 million Americans who live without running water at home."
