The best mineral water brands
Updated · Scores from third-party lab reports · How we score
The best mineral water is Agua Castello Original Sparkling Natural Mineral Water Glass Bottle (93/100), followed by Hildon Sparkling Mineral Water Glass Bottle (92/100), Galvanina Still Mineral Water Glass Bottle (91/100) and Three Bays Sparkling Water Glass Bottle (86/100). All 54 waters here have at least 250 ppm total dissolved solids (TDS), the FDA threshold for calling a water "mineral water".
High-mineral waters can be a meaningful source of calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate. Higher TDS also means a stronger taste, so expect these to taste noticeably different from purified water.
