Infused with frequencies of love, the moon or rainbow, Sturt Hinton’s bottled water sounds more like a magic potion than a source of hydration.

Mr Hinton prefers to describe his Townsville-made drink, Frequency H2O, in marketing material as the ‘‘ultimate elixir of life and the most dynamic beverage in the universe’’.

His water won top honours at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Awards in the US on Sunday, when 12 judges sipped about 100 different waters.

The organisation said the gold medal-winning water ‘‘paid tribute to both love and hope’’. Bottled waters from the US and Canada rounded out the top three.
