Frequently asked questions
What is the healthiest bottled water brand?
Based on third-party lab reports, Panama Blue Water Glass Bottle (96/100) is the healthiest still bottled water right now, followed by Cedar Springs Bottled Water Gallon (96/100) and Acqua Filette Natural Glass Bottle (95/100). The top waters share a natural spring or aquifer source, glass bottles, low contaminants and PFAS testing.
What is the best bottled water brand you can find in most stores?
Among widely available brands, Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water (Moultonborough, New Hampshire) Gallon (84/100) scores highest, followed by Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water Glass Bottle (83/100) and Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water Plastic Bottle (82/100). Big purified brands in plastic, like Great Value, score lowest.
What is the healthiest sparkling water?
Acqua Filette Very Sparkling Glass Bottle (95/100) is the top-ranked sparkling water for purity, ahead of Hildon Sparkling Mineral Water Glass Bottle (92/100).
How are bottled waters ranked?
Each water gets a 0–100 purity score from its lab report, contaminants versus health guidelines, water source, mineral preservation, packaging, cap material and PFAS testing. Waters without a third-party lab report cannot score high.
Is bottled water healthier than tap water?
Not automatically. Tap water is tested more often, and a good filter can make it cleaner than most plastic-bottled water. A lab-tested water in glass is the best bottled option.
