MOUNTAIN VALLEY WATER Spring Water 12Pk, 16.9 FZ

Product Information

Evian, also owned by Danone, is bottled from several natural springs on the south shore of Lake Geneva. It has a slightly higher pH of 7.8 and higher minerality than Volvic. It contains about three times as much calcium as magnesium and has a TDS of 300 milligrams per litre. The higher calcium concentration brings out a more silky mouthfeel and darker, creamier flavours during brewing. Before reaching the spring, the water passes through thousands of feet of gravel and sand that naturally filter it. Yet, these geological formations don’t give it too many minerals as it only has 59 mg/L of TDS. Its mineral levels vary between 1 mg/L and 7 mg/L, meaning it has a soft texture (see the water quality report). When it finally spurts from the ground, it has a rich mineral content with 188 mg/L of TDS and high alkalinity with a pH of 8.8. As the minerals that give water bitterness have a low presence (calcium is at 31.5 mg/L and magnesium is at 6.5 mg/L), the water has a pleasant savor.

I have carefully studied the reports and outcomes. After trying the different brands that came at the top of this I have produced my own “best of the best” list. That said, when you’re researching a brand, look into where it’s made—there’s a difference between truth and a marketing story.

Aimed at hikers, bikers, runners, and athletes, Essentia is carefully processed for ionized hydration and is clinically shown to hydrate more efficiently than regular tap water. It is worth noting that the clinical study was funded by Essentia, however, so there is a conflict of interest. A small infusion of electrolytes—bicarbonate, potassium, magnesium, and calcium—is added to further hydrate the body. According to the company, each bottle undergoes proprietary microfiltration and reverse osmosis to purify and remove 99.9 percent of imperfections, particularly the bitter-tasting acidic ions you’ll recognize from tap water.Hard” water often gets a bad rap, with homeowners installing water softeners to condition the water they use for drinking, cooking, and bathing. However, the terms “hard” and “soft” are not quality judgments. They refer to the mineral content of the water. In addition to still Mountain Water, the company appeals to bubbly fans with sparkling water and also has several fruity flavors in its repertoire, including Berry it Alive, Mango Chainsaw, Severed Lime, and Convicted Melon. Most recently three canned ice teas were added to the mix—of course featuring brand-centric names like Grim Leafer, Armless Palmer, and Rest In Peach.

It is possible that dangerous toxins from some plastic water bottles can leak into your water.
