Frequently asked questions

How are these waters scored?

Every product gets a 0–100 purity score built from a lab report being on file, contaminants detected versus legal limits and health guidelines, the water source, mineral preservation, packaging material, cap material and PFAS testing. Products without a third-party lab report cannot score high, no matter how good the marketing is.
